This is easy in BarFly. The header would include lines like this, where "merge" means "put the notes in this voice into the same staff as the previous one" with "up" and "down" to say which way the noteheads go: V:1 up V:2 merge down V:3 transpose -12 up V:4 transpose -12 merge down V:5 bass I assume the voices are in different ranges; you can't use this construct to merge voices in different clefs, and it it isn't too clear what such a request would mean. This is simple enough to understand that other programs implementing the same functionality ought to follow the same syntax (except that "-8va" would be better than this fixation on counting semitones). BarFly does not always get an optimally readable result when it tries to merge notes of close or identical pitches, but the basic semantics is fine. > User-Agent: T-gnus/6.15.3 (based on Oort Gnus v0.03) (revision 01) > SEMI/1.14.3 (Ushinoya) FLIM/1.14.3 (=?ISO-8859-4?Q?Unebigory=F2mae?=) > APEL/10.3 MULE XEmacs/21.4 (patch 4) (Artificial Intelligence) > (i386-debian-linux) I am really disappointed that this agent can't also report what brand of aftershave you're using or OCR the slogan on your t-shirt into the message signature via a webcam. =================== <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> =================== To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
