Hello,
I typeset the piece included at the end of this message (with m-tx). But
as the last note in the highest voice I'd like to have a longa instead
of the tied notes. The last notes in the other voices should be brevis
instead of whole notes. Is it possible to get these notes here?
The next problem is the "barless" music itself. I'd like to have bar
lines between the voices every second whole note. Unfortunately there
are many notes that begin in a bar and end in the next one, so I can't
code it straight forward as in music with bars. Has anybody an idea how
to get the bar lines and avoid tied notes (I think this would be ugly in
this piece)?
You may find examples of solutions to both problems in some of my M-Tx
typesettings of renaissance music. They make use of a mensural notation
collection of MusiXTeX macros distributed from the WIMA Ravenscroft
index, http://icking-music-archive.org/scores/ravenscroft/common.zip and
an adaption of a Lilypond TeX font, distributed from the WIMA software
index,
http://icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/add-ons/old-feta.tar.gz.
One of my editions of German chorale settings By M.Praetorius, "Christe
der du bist Tag und Licht"
(http://icking-music-archive.org/scores/praetorius/musaesioniae/christe.pdf)
has note values across bar lines. The score is published in 2 versions,
one based on drawing inter-staff barlines 'by hand' with TeX pstricks
macros and one based on a mix of built-in inter-staff bar lines and bar
lines drawn 'by hand' with MusiXTeX vertical rules. There is typesetting
software available with both versions.
PS I recommend omitting slurs in melismas in music like this. The
MusixLyr syllable extension lines and syllable division dashes are
indicating melismas anyway.
