In the manual, under "Ancient time signatures" it says "Some glyphs (such as the alternate glyph for 6/8 meter) are not at all accessible through the \time command."
In the table above, a glyph is shown above the command "\time 6/8". AFAICS, no other 6/8 glyph is mentioned in the manual. Are there two glyphs, one you get with \time 6/8, and one you get some other way (which seems not to be mentioned)? Or is the sentence I just quoted wrong? The manual continues: "Mensural time signatures are supported typographically, but not yet musically. The internal representation of durations is based on a purely binary system; a ternary division such as 1 brevis = 3 semibrevis (tempus perfectum) or 1 semibrevis = 3 minima (cum prolatione maiori) is not correctly handled: event times in ternary modes will be badly computed, resulting e.g. in horizontally misaligned note heads, and bar checks are likely to erroneously fail." But again, I can't see any way to get \time (or another command) to select a ternary time signature. -- http://www.mupsych.org/~rrt/ | free, a. already paid for (Peyton Jones) _______________________________________________ Bug-lilypond mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
