Hi all,
I have a set-up where pausing sections in a part can be handled by
automatically inserting multimeasure rests whose length is determined by
a meta variable for the sections.
As a MWE this looks like this:
\version "2.19.52"
sectionOne = {
c,1 |
c,1
}
{
#(mmrest-of-length sectionOne)
}
which nicely prints a staff with two measures of rest.
However, when the referenced variable starts with (or actually contains)
a partial measure, LilyPond gets confused:
sectionTwo = {
\partial 8
c'8 |
c'1 |
c'1
}
{
#(mmrest-of-length sectionTwo)
}
Of course the multi-measure rest now is 17/8 long but doesn't know about
the partial and consequently gives me barcheck errors and wrong output.
The same is true when the referenced variable contains music in other
than 4/4 time signature because mmrest-of-length by default seems to
produce 4/4 rests.
I can't simply add a \time command in front of the mmrest because this
is actually a complex set-up where the variables are retrieved from
previously parsed music expressions.
So my question is: is there a reliable and more or less convenient way
to produce a "rest" part/section from a referenced section, regardless
of what's in there. I think basically there are two approaches:
a)
analyse the music expression for partials and time changes
b)
copying the music but replace everything with rests.
Any pointers would be appreciated
Best
Urs
