\partcombine together with #(set-accidental-style 'modern-voice) possible?

2006-09-28 Thread Michael Kiermaier
Hello, I want to combine two voices with \partcombine using the modern-voice accidental-style. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work, the accidental set behaviour seems to be default, no matter what I try. Is it impossible to use \partcombine together with #(set-accidental-style

Since \partcombine creates new Voice contexts, I guess that you have to do the setting in the Staff context: #(set-accidental-style 'modern-voice 'Staff) /Mats Michael Kiermaier wrote: Hello, I want to combine two voices with \partcombine using the modern-voice accidental-style.

You could always typeset the metronome mark manually using text markup (see the sections on Text Markup and Overview of Markup Commands in the manual). Since the function that draws the default layout is implemented in the Scheme programming language, it's actually also fairly simple to modify

Thanks, Mats. I'll give it a try. I confess that I still don't clearly understand the differences or ramifications of use between mark, markup and text markup. Or to what RehearsalMark refers. I would have expected RehearsalMark to refer to a letter or number, but not something like D.S. al Fine.

% In a Calypso I use beams which connect notes of different duration and also with a rest between them to visualise quarters. In a normal context (measure 1) the rest avoids the collision with the beam. In a polyphonic context with \voiceTwo, rests are moved down a few spaces (measure 2)
