Oh , we can have it the other way round, if the minus sign has the meaning: do not display whats before me. like Q:1/4=80 - dreary % display only "dreary" and use 1/4=80 for playback. If this is nearer to your idea of this I share it at once. Would make: (stated that the first identified active tempo indicator [numeral or textual] applies) Q:1/4=80 %display "1/4=80" and use it for the player program too Q:1/4=80 - %change the tempo on playback but display nothing here. Q:1/4=80 dreary % display "1/4=80 dreary", use 1/4=80 for playback. Q:1/4=80 - dreary % display only "dreary" and use 1/4=80 for playback. if textual tempo signs are defined (macros enabled): Q:adagio %display "adagio" and use it for the player program too Q:adagio - %change the tempo to adagio on playback but display nothing here. Q:adagio dreary % display "adagio dreary", use adagio for playback. Q:adagio - dreary % display only "dreary" and use adagio for playback. if no textual tempo signs are defined (macros disabled), Q:adagio %display "adagio" and use default for the player program Q:adagio - %use default on playback and display nothing here. Q:adagio dreary % display "adagio dreary", use default for playback. Q:adagio - dreary % display only "dreary" and use default for playback. makes for these examples: Q:Allegro ma non troppo 1/4 = 120 %works, either allegro or 1/4=120 Q: Like movement 1 (1/4=110) but slightly slower % will play 1/4=110 Q:Like the first 1/2 1/2=120 % works, will play 1/2=120 Q: Like the first 1/21/2=120 % will use default, is not clear in ascii too Q:Like the 1/4=120 part but a but in 6/8 time 3/8=120 %will play 1/4=120 Q: Like the first 1/2 % will use default Q: Slow then getting quicker the first 1/2 about 80 but by the last 1/4 about 140 %will use default Q: Slow then quicker, 1st 1/2 = 80, last 1/4 = 140 % will use 1/2=80 this is something new: a changing tempo. Wonder which player could handle this. Maybe we can start a new topic on this :o) . Q: Parts A and B =120, C=140 % will use default Simon Simon Wascher - Vienna, Austria http://members.chello.at/simon.wascher/ To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
