Dear David, For representing microtonal music in MusicXML an then importing it to Sibelius, I am encoding certain microtonal accidentals by triple-sharps/flats, quadruple/sharps/flats and so on. The good news is that Sibelius (and also Finale) imports these pitches correctly, and that these software packages support ways to notate such encoded accidentals in the intended way (e.g., I have a Sibelius house style that notates a triple-sharp as a septimal-comma-sharp).
Now, I ran in difficulties when using Fomus for creating these MusicXML files. I set the option note-accs to include the accidentals I want to have, e.g., note-accs = (bbbb -4, bbb -3, bb -2, b -1, n 0, # 1, x 2, ## 2, ### 3, #### 4) Nevertheless, if I run fomus with a score with triple and quadruple accidentals, then I get the following error. Process fomus exited abnormally with code 1 fomus: expected value of type `(string_acc rational-2..2, string_acc rational-2..2, ...)' in line 19, col. 1 of `/Users/t/.fomus' My question is: how can I extend the range of supported accidentals (string_acc) beyond the interval -2..2? Your documentation of note-accs and note-microtones gives the range -2..2 only, but I would greatly appreciate if I could go clearly beyond that. Thank you! Best wishes, Torsten PS: I am still using FOMUS 0.1.12-alpha-rc4, but I am of course happy to update if that would help this matter. -- Torsten Anders Course Leader, Music Technology University of Bedfordshire Park Square, Room A315 http://strasheela.sourceforge.net http://www.torsten-anders.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oracle to DB2 Conversion Guide: Learn learn about native support for PL/SQL, new data types, scalar functions, improved concurrency, built-in packages, OCI, SQL*Plus, data movement tools, best practices and more. http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ fomus-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fomus-user
