Another function may create a sequential music for "tempo ramps", you
specify the total duration (e.g. 4 measures), the frequency (e.g. each
quarter an update) and the relative final tempo (e.g. 2/3), and you can
place the resulting sequential music (which only contains
relativeTempoChanges and skips) parallel to your existing music.
Here an example for such a sequence:
{ relativeTempo(save OriginalTempo; alter to current * 47/48; no clear)
s4
relativeTempo(no save; alter to OriginalTempo * 46/48; no clear)
s4
relativeTempo(no save; alter to OriginalTempo * 45/48; no clear)
...
relativeTempo(no save; alter to OriginalTempo * 32/48; no clear)
s4
}
This looks heavily influenced by the workarounds that are currently
required. We don't require this level of detail in music expressions
for dynamic ramps. I confess that I'm not thinking deeply about this
right now, but it seems that it should be possible to stick to placing
points of interest in the music expressions and let the performance code
interpolate between them.
