I'm currently transcribing parts from music with frequently changing meters and segments where a part is resting. The sequence below is typical.
\time 3/4 R1*3/4 | \time 3/8 R1*3/8 | \time 4/4 R1*8/4 | % 2 bars \time 3/8 R1*3/8 | Does anyone know how to write a music function that will support a more compact notation? Being able specify the time signature changes and rests shown above with a syntax like the following would be a nice timesaver. mmr = #(define-music-function ....) \mmr 3/4 3/8 2*4/4 3/8 ... The best I've been able to cobble together is too messy to be useful because of the need to use the # sign before arguments, etc. In particular, I haven't found any way to pass a bare fraction like 3/4 into a music function.
