The question here is part of the larger, more basic question "What are the rules determining when the notes and rests in a bar need to be subdivided if it were not otherwise necessary?" So far in this discussion I haven't seen any hints of a supportable answer, and I sure don't know the answer. I did look in Read, and found some discussion about using beaming to clarify some aspects of metrical subdivisions. But beyond that I didn't see much on this subject.
I'm attaching a page on rests typeset by our patriarch Werner Icking. He does give a reference to a book by Chlapik, which I don't have. But while the example implicitly touches on how measures should be visually subdivided, it doesn't list any rules either. If anyone does have Chlapik and can read German, perhaps he could give us a report on whether it addresses the basic question. --Don Simons > -----Original Message----- > From: TeX-Music [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob > Tennent > Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2014 7:56 AM > To: Werner Icking Music Archive > Subject: Re: [Tex-music] music typesetting question > > >|> I would be offended with the corresponding situation with rests. > >| > >|Yes, even in 3/4 time I was taught never to use half-note rests. > > I've adopted the tied-quarters form and I agree that it's easier to read. > > Thanks. > > Bob > ------------------------------- > [email protected] mailing list > If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to > http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
