Re: Several issues transcribing ancient notation (clefs, noteheads, spacing)

As a little help, there is an LSR snippet that takes given notes and applies the same rhythm to them (i.e. it applies certain durations to the passed notes), so I suppose it should be able to adjust it to your needs: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=346 You have that, too

Hi Till, So this is no easy way to scale all notes to the same duration. No, but a Scheme-savvy person (Mats? or you, Till?) should be able to whip up something like unifyDuration = #(define-music-function (parser location music duration) (ly:music?

Thank you, this is really good! I had first problems with the bar lines -- they made the notes really spacy (though closer together than without this option). But I switched on the cadenza mode and it looks really as it should look! The disadvantage is that now you will have to set line breaks

Oh wow, this looks even easier than the scheme function I was going to write to scale everything. Is this in the lsr? If not, perhaps the cadenza settings could be put in and it could be added. If you'd like a real example I can submit one of the transcriptions I'm doing when I finish.
