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
I can't answer your question, but I have two responses to the dilemma.
First, R2. is more compact than R1*3/4, and R1*2 is better than
R1*8/4. Same with R4*5 vs R1*5/4.
Also, if you happen to use Vim -- I keep all my time signatures in a
separate file from the notes. It's then simple to map
Thanks Neil, those are good tips. I'm a long time vim user so
shortcuts are certainly a possibility. OTOH, I've recently found that
JEdit + LilyPondTool makes a real difference in my productivity
compared to vim + some helper scripts I had put together.
I know JEdit has its own Java-based macro
