[Was: An extra accidental-style might be needed] Greetings,
A few days ago, I tried to send a question on this list about the way accidentals are often written in recent scores :
--the first accidental in a bar is printed (like in 'default style) --if a note with an accidental is immediately repeated in the same bar (same pitch, same octave), the accidental is not printed (like in 'default style) --if the same note occurs later in the bar, the accidental is printed again (like in 'forget style) --if the same note gets natural, even at a different octave, a natural sign is printed (like in 'modern style) --sometimes, cautionnary naturals signs can even be printed in the immediately following bar, without parentheses or whatever (which can be obtained in Lily by setting the "laziness" property) --just in case the musician would forget there isn't any accidental anymore...
Of course, there's no obligation here for anyone to answer (or even to care about) my question; that said, I thought maybe I'd better post it once again, just in case... (and also because I need it, of course -at least, I need to know if I have to start taking back all my files and add exclamation marks everywhere...) Maybe I could (with a little help) write this function by myself (though I don't really how to do it right now). But I also wanted to know if anyone had ever seen such a notation practice before (I know at least a dozen composers who use it, but maybe it's only in France...), and if it would be worth considering adding it to the standard LilyPond distribution, as a new accidental-style -- and if this should happen, I would be pleased to sponsorize it myself of course. Now, if this definitely a silly idea, I hope this time someone will at least take a few seconds to tell me it is :-) Regards, Valentin _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
