I'm attaching a scan from "The Easy Winners" by Scott Joplin, the way it
was published in 1901.
I can't seem to get it to display the way I want.
(The key is des major, 2/4)
My first attempt:
<<
{g16 <bes des>8. ges16 <c ees>8 des16~ | }
\
{g,4 ges8. f16~ | }
>>
<des' f,>8 f16 des ees f aes, a
That doesn't work. The Tie won't tie between the voices and the chord
past the voices. Okay, let's put the second measure inside the voices:
<<
{g16 <bes des>8. ges16 <c ees>8 des16~ | des8 f16 des ees f aes, a |}
\
{g4 ges8. f16~ | f8 }
>>
That's is better, in that at least the music being described is the
right music. Still, it would be nice if the D and F were combined into a
single chord. I guess that's what partcombine is for, right?
partcombine
relative {g'16 <bes des>8. ges16 <c ees>8 des16~ | des8 f16 des ees f
aes, a |}
relative {g'4 ges8. f16~ | f8 }
Well, the good news is that the two notes are combined into a single
chord. The bad news is that beaming is now completely off, and we get a
"Solo" heading above the end of the measure.
The second problem is easy to solve. We add set Staff.soloText = #" "
The first one, however, is not so easy. We can try adding explicit
beaming, but then the chords disconnect again.
So far, I've done a lot of settings I don't want, just to have the final
result look exactly like it did when I started.
Is what I'm trying to do possible?
Thank you for your help,
Shachar
