Hi all, Here’s the brainstorm I’ve currently got going:
Issue #34, a.k.a. the grace note bug, is one of Lilypond’s longest-standing and most newbie-unfriendly issues. It doesn’t appear in single-staff scores, obviously — only in multi-staff scores where one staff has a grace note [in the note code] and one or more other staves don’t. So… Can Someone™ write a Scheme engraver that listens for grace events and automagically adds grace skips of equal duration at the same moment in all other staves of a given score? *Intuitively*, \consist-ing that engraver into a score sounds to me like the perfect (Band-Aid™?) solution, modulo what is apparently a very difficult and/or time-consuming recoding of some deep fundamentals in Lilypond’s timing codebase. Let me know if I’m just talking nonsense. If not, let me know how I can help make this "fix" a reality. Thanks, Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer (he/him/his) ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: [email protected]
