Gooooooood luck! I used to believe that too, but I convinced myself otherwise. It works out very well with mechanically-entered data, but it's extremely delicate with human-performance data. I might still have my collection of sample .rg files that render as utter crap in Lilypond (eg. 457 notes in a single measure). If so, I'll pass them along. It would be a good starting point to figure out how to fix that first, because that is the real key to ever getting to a point where the Lilypond export is reliable enough to use in any day to day situation without extensive reworking. The fix might even come down to recognizing an un-renderable pattern and inviting the user to fix it in Rosegarden and try again. A lot of this stuff looks OK notation quantized, but it's still subtly wrong. Other stuff is obviously wrong even in Rosegarden. I'm not sure if I even think having red barlines is a good idea. I think it might be better simply to force people not to draw/play/import measures which don't count out correctly in the first place. Multi-voice stuff is a big factor here too. An imported (or played) four-voices-in-two-hands piano part, even after it has been "split-and-tied" is almost 100% guaranteed to produce utter gibberish in the Lilypond export. (Gibberish as judged by what the resulting page looks like before going in to tweak the Lilypond code by hand, I mean.) -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Rosegarden-devel mailing list [email protected] - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-devel
