I am notating an existing piece of music with a 3/4 time signature. The
first measure in the original piece only has a single quarter note, and the
final measure has a single fermata quarter note. The original piece has 3/4
set at the beginning, and the time signature is not changed throughout the
piece.
*I know that this is probably non-standard, but I am trying to reproduce
the piece exactly as the original!*
I have tried the following:
\score { \new Staff { \time 3/4 c'4 | d' e' f' | g'\fermata } }
and the | have no impact in manually breaking the first and last measures.
Also,
\score { \new Staff { \time 3/4 c'4 \bar "|" d' e' f' | g'\fermata \bar "|"
} }
puts bars where they need to be, but the computation of measure delineation
is miscalculated (relative to where I want the measures to end). Finally,
\score { \new Staff { \time 3/4 s2 c'4 | d' e' f' | g'\fermata s2 } }
breaks the measures correctly, but it leaves a space before the first note
and a space after the last note (which the original does not have). I do
not mind having these spaces to keep the measure counts correct, but I do
not want the spaces to be in the notation.
I would appreciate a solution to this.
