Hello all,
The Danish book of chorales to accompany the official hymnal uses a
peculiar "time signature" (which isn't really a time signature) for some
hymns.
It's a small note, in this case a 𝅗𝅥 but elsewhere its a compound
signature like 𝅗𝅥♩, to indicate the metre.
I've replicated it by hiding the TimeSignature and adding a note as
markup to the alto or tenor voice and sort-of wiggled it into position,
but that's that a particularly elegant solution.
The main problem with my fix is vertical alignment. I'd like it to be in
the middle of the between-staff space.
A minimal example:
\version "2.24.1"
\language "deutsch"
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff << \key d \major
\new Voice { \once \override Staff.TimeSignature. stencil = ##f
\voiceOne d'4 \bar "|" }
\new Voice { \voiceTwo a4_\markup { \hspace #-6 \teeny \note {2}
#1 } }
>>
\new Staff << \clef bass \key d \major
\new Voice { \once \override Staff.TimeSignature. stencil = ##f
\voiceOne fis4 }
\new Voice { \voiceTwo d4 }
>>
>>
}
Any thoughts? Does anyone know what this type of notation is called?
Best wishes,
Jakob Pedersen
