He wrote, "alla breve means ‘in units of a brevis’, that is 4/2 or 2/1.” I don’t see how you can conclude that he meant that ¢ always means half notes. Simon, would you be kind enough to clarify it for us? > I havn’t seen the double cc and ¢¢ so far. But wasn’t your style called > single-C? I haven’t implemented the double-C cases yet. If I do (I hope to) they will be in a style with a different name. Part of me thinks they would be at home in the default style (supported by ¢¢ being used for the Schubert piece) but I am not sure that changing the default is a good idea. I might add a CC style, but it’s not friendly to have too many choices. I might end the equivalence of default and C and add the double-C cases to the C style, leaving the default as it is. I’m not sure which concerns I favor. Maybe there should be a way for the user to define a style globally; but I’m not into working hard for something rarely needed. Overriding the stencil is effective. > - I appreciate this work on a new time signature style. Thanks. Simon, since you’re the one who requested the feature, how well does using \time 2/1 with the single-C style suit your needs? I understand that you originally suggested 4/2, but considering the other examples as well, would you be satisfied with the new style? — Dan _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
