Double note durations

Some while ago I have a mind I saw some piece of code that doubled all note durations in a score, the point being to change a score from the very black modern notation to the more open 'white' notion familiar in earlier music. Is there, in fact, a simple way of doing this? I haven't been able

skip midi notes

I am trying to set a mediaeval piece in a free, unbarred manner. I have had to resort to entering skips ie 's' spacers to get the formatting to work. However these seem to be interpreted as rests in the midi output. Is there a way to tell the midi to ignore these? Thanks for any help --

Re: skip midi notes

Hi Maybe a bit premature in posting my request, just figured out that changing (and hiding) the time signatures can do away with the skips and so the midi performs as required northofscotland wrote: I am trying to set a mediaeval piece in a free, unbarred manner. I have had to resort

Musica ficta

Ambitus

A few days ago I posted a question about moving the note heads in an ambitus independently. It hasn't generated any response, and wondered if this was because it just isn't possible. Am I right? If so, I'll stop worrying! -- View this message in context:

Ambitus

I often use the ambitus when setting recorder parts, since it makes it quicker and easier to see which instrument it might be most suitable for. The default in Lilypond is fine, but I quite like the arrangement where the top ambitus note is offset from the bottom and the two note heads connected

Divided voices

I have a question about the best way to produce music when it divides for maybe only a few bars in a piece. I often come across this when setting SATB vocal works. Straight forward SATB with a single voice to a line is simple enough, but I am struggling to find an elegant (and simple!) way to

Conditional input

Combining parts

I am transcribing a piece which has a realised figured bass and which gives, in effect, three top parts with the bass. I am also trying to arrange it so each part can be printed separately (for recorders) and to recombine the parts back into a continuo part. My problem is that when combining

Figured bass

I am not a keyboard player but transcribe recorder music with the bc accompaniment from time to time. One of the objectives is to give myself a midi bass accompaniment. Is there a (reasonably) simple way of converting the figured bass either directly to midi (which I think is not the case) or
