Automatic beaming in polymetric (scaled) context

2014-05-06 Thread Urs Liska
Hi, if I use \scaleDurations to create polymetric music like written in http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms.html#polymetric-notation there is no automatic beaming, see: { \time 9/8 c8 c c c c c c c c \time 4/4 \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction =

Tool suggestion for Frescobaldi

2014-05-06 Thread Jacques Menu
Hello folks, A diff/merge utility could be nice to have in the Tools menu. In the case of Mac OS X, provided XCode (free from the App Store) is installed, /usr/bin/opendiff launches FileMerge or connects to the running instance if any. FileMerge has a nice interface. Hope this helps! JM

Could you use git? Or are you looking to have this integrated? For me, I just open a command shell and do the diff/merge there. Frescobaldi knows when a file has changed underneath it and asks you if you want to reload it. Knute Snortum (via Gmail) On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 1:23 AM, Jacques

Execution would be to roll the chord, but (in this case) add an 'e', that is { d e fis a }. You hold d, fis and a but not e. Knute Snortum (via Gmail) On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 6:34 AM, Richard Shann rich...@rshann.plus.comwrote: I am typesetting some music that needs a slash between the notes

Hello Knute, I sometimes need to compare files with my local backup after changes, without resorting to git. Thought it could be nice to have that integrated, and was wandering if other Frescobaldi users thought so too. JM Le 6 mai 2014 à 15:59:02, Knute Snortum ksnor...@gmail.com a écrit :

I'm not sure that for very small people really describes the piece well, given the large stretch at the end of bar 4. Or maybe, like Stravinsky, he forgot that small people have small left hands as well as right hands. Another solution - a very small child plays the upper part, and a slightly
