For instance:
IIRC, "diatonic" can refer to any church mode. Let me rephrase / alter my initial suggestion: might it be worth having some predefined scales for actually well-defined scales? Like \major or \locrian or the like? They could go in a new ly/*-init.ly file, or maybe something in scm/. Something like "define-scales-init.ly" ? For octatonic, we could have octatonicA and octatonicB, or something like that... IIRC there's only two types of those scales. (or maybe we should avoid using A and B, and instead call them "octatonicBeginFull" and "octatonicBeginHalf" ? ) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
