Hello all,

Working on writing down a renaissance piece, tablature combined with
regular notation, I'm stumbling on the rhythm issue.

For example, I have this piece where I've written everything in 2/8, to get
the correct rhythmic representation in my renaissance tablature, but I want
the modern notation, in 2/4.

So far I got to this:

The tablature can easily be changed to 8ths manually, but the rhythm
notation should be in 2/8 to keep the flags correct as in the original.
The rhythm values are in a separate 'variable', and I already found
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms,
which led me to experiment like this:

\version "2.23.0"
music = \relative c' {c'4 c c c }
musicTwo = \relative c' {c'8 c c c }
\score {
  <<
  \new Staff {\time 4/4 \music}
  \new Staff {\time 4/8 \musicTwo}

  >>
  \layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \remove "Timing_translator"
    \remove "Default_bar_line_engraver"
  }
  \context {
    \Staff
    \consists "Timing_translator"
    \consists "Default_bar_line_engraver"
  }}
}

But this results in a situation where the 8ths are not lined up as 4ths,
which is what I need.

Anyone here who knows how it might be done?

thanks,
Bart
