and repeat sections, which can get rather elaborate. Dont forget the use of mixed time signatures for many renaissance works and other pieces with complex rhythms (eg, 34/44 some bars are 3/4, others 4/4. Should white mensural notation be supported sometimes in the future you will also have to deal with proportional changes in tempo and both a lack of barlines in general or a casual disregard for where they are placed in original sources. If this is to be done it should be done by consideration of the note durations. Perhaps the midi pass could be done before the printing pass and output a side file. -- Dana Emery _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
