Have you *really* tried to search in the index of the Notation Reference?
There is an entry for a keyword called `\cresc` (properly sorted as
'cresc').  If you follow that link, you will see an image for

  cresc. -   -   -  mf

I don't think this can be improved.

Cresc. Dynamics. Alternatively, one might guess that terms as common as
cresc and dim would be commands, and hence listed in the command index as
well. (Is there a catch?)

Cheers,

RE: Vanishing nested tuplet

[carsonmark]

Gregory,

 

As I read it the inner 8/9 is equal to two beats of a 4/4 measure.

That is insufficient to complete an entire 4/5 measure.

 

Look at

 

\version "2.24.3"

 

\times 4/5 {

\times 8/9 {

c'16 c' c' c' c' c' c' c' c'  

} c'4 c' c'

}

Subject: Vanishing nested tuplet

 

Hello everyone,
I need help engraving a unique rhythm structure relevant to “irrational” meters 
(or perhaps non-dyadic meters or non-power-of-2-denominated meters). In many 
cases of such meters, it is assumed that the unique meter prolates the 
contained values as is sometimes done in a score which changes from a duple 
meter to a triple meter.

However in a score I am currently engraving changes from duple to triple meter 
do not change the basic speed of any note value (an 8th note is the same 
duration in 3/4 and 6/8) and thus the “irrational” meters also do not change 
the tempo. For instance a 1/6 meter would be the duration of one quarter note 
in an incomplete tuplet of 3:2.

In the score I am engraving, measures are generally subdivided into even 
pulses. In this case a 2/5 measure is divided into 9 16th notes. This could be 
notated as a formidable 45:32 tuplet or, as I would prefer a 5:4 tuplet with a 
9:8 tuplet inside and nothing else. However, lilypond seems to be erasing the 
inner tuplet. This is reproduced in the following mwe (I am still using 2.23.81 
which I know is quite old):

\times 4/5 {
\times 8/9 {
c'16
c'16
c'16
c'16
 
c'16
 
c'16
 
c'16
 
c'16
 
c'16
 
}
}

The spacing appears to be calculated correctly but the innermost tuplet bracket 
and number will not appear unless another note or tuplet is added as well. No 
change is caused by adding empty chords (<>) or by changing \times to \tuplet 
in any permutation.

I looked around but I cannot tell if this behavior is known (it is a rare 
scenario) and I cannot tell if this is a desired behavior. Perhaps it is.

thank you for any help,
gregory evans

It is important to understand that the syntax for beaming, like slurs,
requires the symbols to be post-fixed.

As such it is best to keep the symbols snug to the event they apply:

   c16[ r c8]

To a seasoned LilyPonder, this clearly indicates beaming beginning with the
16th note and ending with the 8th.

Hey all, I've been looking over the Frescobaldi codebase for the last few days, 
and it seems to be within the realm of something I could pick up maintenance 
for.

There would definitely be a learning curve, so hopefully it doesn't reach it's 
EOL too soon... But, I don't know, I feel pretty confident.

Not really sure what more info I can contribute to the public discourse at this 
point, but I welcome anyone else interested with the upkeep of Frescobaldi to 
get in touch with me so we can coordinate~

Looked closer and found Lilypond (without the exe yet listed as an

Working correctly.

 

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

Jean,

 

In my \users\Mark\lilypond-2.24.4 there are six folders:

Should I be looking somewhere else?

Subject: Rousseau's boustrophedon notation

Just read a side note on Wikipedia about a supposed "boustrophedon" 
notation.  The citation does not link to the image in question, which is an
unfortunate oversight.  I was curious whether this approach applied only to
Rousseau's numeric notation or if it was intended to work with standard
notation.  I suspect his numeric notation is more vulnerable to misreading
as it would be harder to jump from the end of one line to the beginning of
the next.

It seems like LilyPond could theoretically support this by alternately
reflecting every other system, assuming the intention is to mirror image all
symbols in the right-to-left systems.

Does anyone have more details about this?
