Hi everyone,
I'm engraving a measure of Sorabji's First Symphony for Organ. In the left hand
part, beams should be subdivided each dotted sixteenth note. However, the
current behavior is that the beams are subdivided every beat (3 eighth notes in
9/8 time.) Here's my example. I will trim it down, but it will still be a lot,
since I'm not sure what could possibly be interfering. I have tried many
different settings for the variables, and time signatures.
...
\version "2.24.4"
#(set-default-paper-size "letterlandscape")
upperOne = \relative c' {
\clef treble
%%%%% Time sig for first measure
\time 9/8
\accidentalStyle forget
<< {
\oneVoice ees8.[( fis a~] \tuplet 5/3 { a[ aes8] } a!8.[ c] \bar "!" \break
%%%%% Time sig for second measure
\compoundMeter #'((3 8) (3 8) (3 8) (3 16) (3 8) (3 8))
e,[ g] bes8[ a gis] \tuplet 5/3 { g!8.[ fis8] } e8. \voiceOne \tuplet 5/3 {
d[ e8 ] } gis4.~gis16.[ a f8.])
} \\ {
s1 s8 s2. s16. s s s \voiceTwo \once \override TupletBracket.positions =
#'(-8 . -9.5) \tuplet 5/3 { r16 bes,[( a8 g16] } cis8[ b a] gis4.)
} >>
}
upperTwo = \relative c {
\clef bass
\accidentalStyle forget
<< { \oneVoice
\set subdivideBeams = ##t
%%%%% Here is where the problem occurs. We're in 9/8 time.
\set baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 3/32)
\set beatStructure = 2,2,2,2 %%%%% Whatever I set this to does nothing. Same
behavior if omitted.
\tuplet 5/3 { r16 cis([ d f e }
\tuplet 5/3 { g f g aes bes }
\tuplet 5/3 { b! g c d ees \clef treble }
\tuplet 5/3 { f e! f g8 }
\tuplet 5/3 { a!16 b c d ees }
\tuplet 5/3 { d f e! d cis }
\tuplet 5/3 { c! ees d c b }
\tuplet 5/3 { bes des c bes aes] }
\set baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1/8)
\tuplet 3/2 { g[ b a } \tuplet 3/2 { f e d } cis8]
\tuplet 5/3 { \clef bass c16[ b bes a g] }
\set subdivideBeams = ##f
f32[ e d c b bes]
\tuplet 5/3 { a16[ f e' g f,] }
\set subdivideBeams = ##t
\set baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 3/16)
\tuplet 4/3 { e[ d c' e }
\tuplet 4/3 { c, aes' c fis,]~ } \voiceTwo
\tuplet 4/3 { fis[ c' ees a }
\tuplet 4/3 { g b \clef treble g' b]) }
} \\ {
s1 s8 s8. s s4. s8. s s s4. \accidentalStyle default \voiceOne fis,,8.[
\accidentalStyle forget g']
} >>
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff \with { \omit TimeSignature }
<<
\new Staff = "upper1" \upperOne
\new Staff = "upper2" \upperTwo
>>
}
...
How do I get the beams in the first measure to be subdivided twice as often?
The other beams look OK.
I posted this same question to Stack Exchange, and will update with any new
info there. This is for my dissertation on Sorabji, which will heavily feature
LilyPond engravings.
Many thanks,
