Double note durations
Some while ago I have a mind I saw some piece of code that doubled all note durations in a score, the point being to change a score from the very black modern notation to the more open 'white' notion familiar in earlier music. Is there, in fact, a simple way of doing this? I haven't been able to unearth anything as yet.

Re: Lute tablature
Thanks to those of you who have replied. I have been playing about with the various bits and pieces, and especially the snippet numbers to letters. That snippet places the letter ON the line, whereas English tablature places the letters BETWEEN the lines. I have tried such tweaks as \override TabNoteHead #'Y-offset = #0.5 but all this seems to do is move everything up onto the same position. Is there a simple command to move each separate letter individually into the space above its line? By the way I am using Lilypond 2.13 and am trying to produce tablature for a 7 course renaissance lute.

Re: Musica ficta
Thanks, but whilst the markup option will give a visual impression it won't
translate into a midi and in a piece such as I am transcribing, there are
roughly equal numbers of 'normal' ficta accidentals and bracketed
accidentals, which makes for fairly tedious editing.

You can do it with a \markup, but you will probably have to adjust the
alignment and fontsize and whatnot:
\relative c' {
d e fis^\markup {[\sharp]} g
}

Re: Musica ficta
Yes, I thought that may be the only way to do it since the 'obvious' Lilypond
syntax seemed to stall. I have tried to get into Scheme but I have always
found it rather opaque, despite having some programming experience, and the
information in the manuals doesn't seem to help (me) much.
Is there an 'idiot's' guide out there somewhere?

Write a Scheme macro to take the real accidental and change the position
(from beside-on-the-left to centred-above), size, and
bracketification.

Re: Musica ficta
The accidentals work fine, what I wanted to do was to put some of them into parenthesis. In normal typesetting you can do this by appending '?' but this is ignored for musica ficta. '!' is needed to force the accidental I was looking for a way to to this more or less automatically.

Ambitus
A few days ago I posted a question about moving the note heads in an ambitus independently. It hasn't generated any response, and wondered if this was because it just isn't possible. Am I right? If so, I'll stop worrying! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Ambitus-tp27382764p27382764.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Ambitus
I often use the ambitus when setting recorder parts, since it makes it quicker and easier to see which instrument it might be most suitable for. The default in Lilypond is fine, but I quite like the arrangement where the top ambitus note is offset from the bottom and the two note heads connected with a diagonal line. I have been playing around with various overides trying to achieve this and I can rotate the ambitus line OK - \override Staff.AmbitusLine #'rotation =#'(-25 0 0) However, when I try to move one notehead relative to the other they seem to form just a single unit and they both move together. Is there a way of moving these separately to achieve the desired effect?

Divided voices
I have a question about the best way to produce music when it divides for
maybe only a few bars in a piece. I often come across this when setting
SATB vocal works. Straight forward SATB with a single voice to a line is
simple enough, but I am struggling to find an elegant (and simple!) way to
deal with a part that may divide into, say, S1 and S2 perhaps only for a few
notes in the whole piece. The way I have sorted it so far is to duplicate
the S line, put in the changed notes and substitute the common notes with
skips, then combine them with something like
\new Voice = sopcombo {\voiceOne \global \sopMusic \sopDiv }
Whilst this seems to work reasonably well I do seem to lose some
articulations, slurs etc in the process, and it does seem rather cumbersome.
Division such as this is common enough in such music and I would have
thought it could have a simple solution. Published music and the products
of eg Sibelius seem to readily produce such results. Any ideas? Thanks

Re: Lilypond crashing with cue notes
A bit more on the crash. It would seem to be a self reference problem that gets into an unending loop. As a workaround I have managed to carry on by making copies of all the files and using those as the reference for the cues, so no longer having part 1 cue part 3 and part 3 cue part 1 etc but having part 1 cue copy of part 3 etc. A bit cumbersome but practical. It still leaves Lilypond a bit weak on the cueing front though northofscotland wrote: I have been entering a seven part piece by Schutz; 2 voice + 5 instrumental. To help the performers I have been making extensive use of cue notes between all seven parts. I have been using Lilypond 2.12.2 with the latest jedit/Lilypond tool. Currently it is a clean, new install since I uninstalled/reinstalled to see if that solved the problem, - it hasn't! All the parts seem to work perfectly as stand-alone, un-cued but as I added the cue notes, building up with a series of \include statements at the head of the file, \cueDuring in the notes and \addQuote before the \score statement it all seemed to go pear shaped and hang - seemingly in some indefinite loop. The problem seemed to arise once I was about half way through with some files that had worked perfectly - including the cues throwing a wobbly, and with others which were being worked on.

Combining parts
I am transcribing a piece which has a realised figured bass and which gives, in effect, three top parts with the bass. I am also trying to arrange it so each part can be printed separately (for recorders) and to recombine the parts back into a continuo part. My problem is that when combining the top parts as separate voices, it looks rather messy and confusing. I can combine two parts with \partcombine, and that does give a much better copy, but it still leaves the third part. I know that \partcombine can only handle two parts, but has anyone any idea how three parts might similarly be combined?

Figured bass
I am not a keyboard player but transcribe recorder music with the bc accompaniment from time to time. One of the objectives is to give myself a midi bass accompaniment. Is there a (reasonably) simple way of converting the figured bass either directly to midi (which I think is not the case) or to convert it into a more conventional chorded notation and hence to a midi. My understanding of figured bass in practice is fairly minimal and it would take me for ever to convert it manually (I would probably understand it more afterwards, though!).
