Werner:
:> (a) How can I leave blank either system, when I don't need it?
:
:You may have two voices in one staff as you need it. [..].
:You may leave a voice blank by not specifying it. If this is within a
:bar then you may use blank rests e.g. r4b. At such places you have
:to correct the stem direction manually if it does not conform to
:the stem direction required for a single voice in one system.
:You may specify e.g. c4u to get an up-stem.
Ok, that's more or less what I thought it was possible, apart from
the existence of blank rests.
Am I correct in inferring that all stems point in the same direction
even in the bars where there is not the second voice, or does it
happen only on the bars with blank rests?
:> (b) How can I specify that a system uses smaller notes?
:
:For "Stichworte" (small notes in parts which tells what another voice is
:playing) I use as shortcut \snz\ defined as \def\snz{\smallnotesize}.
certainly better than my own solution at the time, a command
\Small{#1} which changed size to \smallnotesize and then again to
\normalnotesize :-)
:[Because you know MusiXTeX you can imagine why this is true. For the voice
: in question \snz\ must be inserted whenever a new \notes...\en is used.
: This is done, when a new duration in any of the voices occurs.]
I hope that fine tuning of notes' position is achieved through ad hoc
skips, then :-)
thank you very much, .mau.
