(my original reply was rejected) thanks Richard (et all), I have read the lilypond documentation, but unfortunately doesn't explain this score's problem...
...the original score was (most likely) created in Finale...I don't have the files, and there are a couple of different issues regarding different time signatures...I think I'll ask them one at a time... I've attached a pdf file and a screenshot of the 1st 'problem'. I'd like to best reproduce the 'proportional' tempo change between the instrumental group and the choir, where the 4/4 time in instruments 'moves' faster than the 4/4 time in the choir. Because this is not necessarily a 'change in meter', I'd like to find an elegant way of solving this in Denemo thanks! www.soundexperiment.org/NWSO/Bernfortheyshallexcerpt.pdf On Friday, October 14, 2016 9:00:08 AM PDT Richard Shann wrote: > On Thu, 2016-10-13 at 22:52 -0700, Donald J.
