Hey, thanks for the response, yes, \scaleDurations did the trick! I never had to use it before, so I didn't even know of it's existence. That's probably a problem for many, certainly with specific and rare situations, even finding the right terminology to describe the problem is sometimes hard to find :-)
Anyways, it works! Now up to the next problem, showing right hand fingering in the tablature, with dots instead of 'p-i-m-a', and lines to represent sustaining notes, also in the tab... A new mail might follow.... :-) thanks for the help, Bart https://esmiltania.be On Twitter <https://twitter.com/Bart_Issimo> On Google+ <https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116379400376517483499/> Op di 23 mrt. 2021 om 11:15 schreef Kevin Barry <barr...@gmail.com>: > Hi Bart, > > I'm not sure exactly which part of your example you want to be different, > but perhaps you need to scale the durations somehow, to make 8ths seem like > 4ths or vice versa? > There is some info on how to do that here: > http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/writing-rhythms#scaling-durations > \scaleDurations 2/1 might do what you want. > > Kevin > > On Tue, 23 Mar 2021 at 09:30, bart deruyter <bart.deruy...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hello all, >> >> Working on writing down a renaissance piece, tablature combined with >> regular notation, I'm stumbling on the rhythm issue. >> >> For example, I have this piece where I've written everything in 2/8, to >> get the correct rhythmic representation in my renaissance tablature, but I >> want the modern notation, in 2/4. >> >> So far I got to this: >> [image: rhythm-tabs.png] >> The tablature can easily be changed to 8ths manually, but the rhythm >> notation should be in 2/8 to keep the flags correct as in the original. >> The rhythm values are in a separate 'variable', and I already found >> http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms, >> which led me to experiment like this: >> >> \version "2.23.0" >> music = \relative c' {c'4 c c c } >> musicTwo = \relative c' {c'8 c c c } >> \score { >> << >> \new Staff {\time 4/4 \music} >> \new Staff {\time 4/8 \musicTwo} >> >> >> >> \layout { >> \context { >> \Score >> \remove "Timing_translator" >> \remove "Default_bar_line_engraver" >> } >> \context { >> \Staff >> \consists "Timing_translator" >> \consists "Default_bar_line_engraver" >> }} >> } >> >> But this results in a situation where the 8ths are not lined up as 4ths, >> which is what I need. >> >> Anyone here who knows how it might be done? >> >> thanks, >> Bart >> >> https://esmiltania.be >> On Twitter <https://twitter.com/Bart_Issimo> >> On Google+ <https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116379400376517483499/> >> >
