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: [image: rhythm-tabs.png] 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 https://esmiltania.be On Twitter <https://twitter.com/Bart_Issimo> On Google+ <https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116379400376517483499/>
