Dear fellow Lilypond-users,
I would like to write music in just intonation.
I would like to make a script similar to the (great!) Sagittal script of
Graham Breed (http://x31eq.com/lilypond/) but for the so called Ben
Johnston tuning system (BJTS) (I've noticed there was some discussion
about it a while ago).
The BJTS identifies every just interval as a discrete note, so there is
not one the same.
I use the so called Pythagorean scale as my basenotes (here I differ
from the original tuning system) C - D - E - F - G - A - B. These
basenotes are raised or lowered with all sorts of comma's and chroma's
to represent the appropriate pitch.
This means that every ratio corresponds with a specific note name.
I've reworked a linux based tuner to accommodate the BJTS
(https://github.com/brummer10/gxtuner), there I "calculate" every
notename from the ratio.
I would like to gather some advice about how I could create a script for
Lilypond.
Is it possible anyway?
What would be a good route to follow?
For example I could make a list of intervals with corresponding
notenames or I can make notename "calculator".
Are there tutorials for scripting with Lilypond?
I'll be happy to spend some time on this subject, so I don't mind a
(steep) learning curve.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Hans
