\mark and text spanners?

2014-05-18 Thread James Harkins
Is it possible to use a text spanner in a \mark? That is, accel... is about tempo, so it makes sense -- as with other tempo marks -- to print it just once in the score (especially this score: 3 players, 3 staves). But it seems this is not possible with a text spanner. hjh Sent with

articulate.ly: command to start trills on the lower note?

2014-05-18 Thread James Harkins
I was just toying with articulate.ly, to hear some trills, when I noticed that it's starting the trill on the upper note. This is appropriate for older music but dead wrong for contemporary music. (If not dead wrong, then certainly generally wrong.) How to configure this? \include

Re: Warning: Midi channels wrapped around Warrning Remapping modulo 16.

Hello Sebastian, it seems to me like you would require more than 16 midi channels (which normally correspond to the staves in your score) and midi doesn't support more than 16. So the output which would have gone to channel #17 is actually put into channel #1 (and inherits its instrument,
