I've released a new version of the autosp preprocessor. The new feature is that note spacing is now scaled for instrument musicsize, as suggested by Jean-Pierre Coulon. http://icking-music-archive.org/software/autosp/ Bob T. --- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to https://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

[Tex-music] autosp 2017-12-26
Hi all. I've released a new version of the autosp pre-processor: http://icking-music-archive.org/software/autosp This supports the new features of MusiXTeX 1.27, allows for single-note xtuplets and handles restbars > 1 for xtuplets or appoggiaturas. The package also includes a new program tex2aspc which re-factors conventional MusiXTeX scores into input suitable for autosp pre-processing by merging all the usual notes commands in a measure into a single \anotes command.

Don: Yes, it's added (global) space *before* accidentals to
avoid clashing with preceding notes or bar-lines. "Global"
space because the space has to be added to all staffs to
keep notes horizontally synchronized. There's no convenient
way to do that in raw musixtex.
Here's an example, one measure from my version of barsant.
Save this as a file with .aspc extension and process using
autosp. The resulting .tex file will have \tqsk commands
before the notes with accidentals.

Sometims the added space is unnecesary, but can be avoided by using any of the *explicit* accidental commands: \sh, \bigsh, \smallsh, etc. Getting the spacing right for all situations would be quite challenging because it is the spacing of the *previous* note, not the current note, that is most relevant.

Often I make a first version with tqsk=.5\elemskip, I put \alaligne at the
line breaks I obtain and adjust the tqsk at each line afterwards.
Otherwise the situation would be inextricable because the \tqsk influence
the line breaks. Perhaps your package could adjust \tqsk at this step.

[Tex-music] autosp-2017-07-14
I've released an updated autosp package. Automatic additional spacing for accidentals on notes in collective-note sequences has been so successful that global skips are now provided for *all* such notes (not just beamed notes). In some cases, this additional spacing may be unnecessary; additional spacing is not provided for any of the *explicit* accidental commands (\sh, \fl, \smallsh, etc.). http://icking-music-archive.org/software/autosp Bob T. --- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
[Tex-music] autosp-2017-06-21
The autosp preprocessor now supports the use of one to four successive commas in a collective-coding segment to get the effect of a "global" skip \QQsk, \HQsk, \TQsk or \Qsk, respectively; these generate corresponding "local" skips \qqsk, \hqsk, \tqsk or \qsk, respectively, in every staff of the output scores, which ensures that the staffs remain horizontally synchronized. Furthermore, global skips are automatically inserted before accidentals on beamed collective-coding notes; thanks to Jean-Pierre Coulon for suggesting this feature. http://icking-music-archive.org/software/autosp Bob T. --- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

With autosp, you do have a choice among \Qsk, \QQsk, \TQsk,
and \QQsk. But, most importantly, the parts are kept
horizontally synchronized.

For complete control, you have to take on responsibility.
Best,
Bob
P.S. I've had an idea how to make insertion of "global"
skips easier in collective-coding sequences, the most
common use case. I'll see if it works out.

And you still can, in several ways:
small accidentals
\mulooseness
\multnoteskip
when necessary, non-automatic notes commands or \vnotes...
when necessary, adding skips, in particular, "global" skips

[Tex-music] autosp 2017-06-14
I've released a new version of the autosp preprocessor. The preprocessor now implements the effects of the \TransformNotes macro from the musixtnt package. This is significant because the musixtnt implementation of \TransformNotes is incompatible with the musixlyr extension package. The autosp pre-processor simplifies input of music for MusiXTeX without requiring the user to learn a completely different input language. MusiXTeX itself requires a user to specify horizontal-spacing commands, which can be rather complicated, especially for multi-instrument scores. The autosp pre-processor automates the generation of horizontal-spacing commands for MusiXTeX, allowing a user to input notes for a part without concern for note-spacing changes within the part or spacing requirements of other parts. http://icking-music-archive.org/software/autosp Bob T. --- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

[Tex-music] autosp (a new preprocessor)
autosp generates notes commands for MusiXTeX scores. It
simplifies the creation of MusiXTeX scores by converting
(non-standard) commands of the form \anotes ... \en into one
or more \notes \Notes ... \NOTEs commands, as determined
by the note values themselves, with \sk spacing commands
inserted as necessary. For example,
\anotes\qa J\qa K\ca l\qa m\ca n\en
generates
\Notes\qa J\sk\qa K\sk\ca l\qa m\sk\ca n\en
All conventional MusiXTeX commands are output exactly as
given in the input. The format of \anotes commands is
similar to conventional notes commands, except that line
breaks and spaces may precede note segments, allowing more
flexible source formatting; the line breaks and spaces will
be elided from the output. For example, the command given
above might be formatted as follows:
\anotes
\qa J\qa K
\ca l\qa m\ca n\en
Each \anotes command may include all (or some) of the
(vertically-aligned) notes in a measure.
autosp determines the spacing for ordinary notes from the
note commands themselves; for example,
+ \qa, \qu, \ql, \qp result in \NOtes;
+ \ca, \cu, \cl, \ds result in \Notes;
and so on.
The spacing for beamed notes is determined by the beam
multiplicity: \ib... results in \Notes, \ibb... results in
\notes, etc.
Collective coding of note sequences (including accidentals
and dots) is handled by expanding the sequence into a
sequence of individual note commands.
If a staff in an \anotes command should start with a
space, the note-value of that space must be made explicit
with a command of the form \wh{*}, \ha{*}, \qa{*}, \ca{*},
etc. A bar-centered whole-bar rest must be coded in the
usual way, with explicit note-value spaces used wherever
necessary in the \anotes command(s).
Limitations
Appoggiaturas and grace notes must be entered explicitly
using MusiXTeX commands outside \anotes commands.
autosp supports triplets introduced using any of the
following commands:
\triolet
\uptrio
\downtrio
\uptuplet
\downtuplet
and x-tuplets introduced using \xtuplet{x}; however,
MusiXTeX notation does not specify the intended duration
of an x-tuplet. autosp assumes that an x-tuplet is to be
played in (x-1)/x of the apparent x-tuplet duration. So,
for example, a triplet in eighths is assumed to be played
in the time of one quarter note. If this assumption isn't
valid, the x-tuplet must be coded explicitly using MusiXTeX
commands outside of \anotes commands.
User-defined macros are not processed or expanded.
See files quod2.tex and barsant2.tex for scores suitable
for input to autosp. The 1st measure of barsant2.tex
is particularly interesting, with two appoggiaturas, a
note-valued space, and a 5-tuple with an intended duration
of six 64ths.
musixtex.tex version 1.16 or later is needed.
Download the autosp package from
http://icking-music-archive.org/software/autosp/autosp.zip
This is the first release of a fairly complex program. It is
surely not ready for production use, but please report bugs
to me.
