Hi
I'm using lillypond for guitar notation. It is working well for score
display.
I put this example of a riff together that is typical for blues music.
You'll note the triplet rhythm but I have a bend in the first 3 triplets.
I'm using a hidden grace note to do this - I assume that is valid. I
expected to see rhythm of 1/3 for all 3 notes. It's very close but the
first two triplets seem wrong. The third is correct and that was a whole
note bend. The 4th triplet is correct too.
I'm pretty sure grace notes don't form part of rythym - I'm using grace
note for full note bend, 1/4 note bend. You'll see the midi I collected
below the ly file.
It's very close - I had to slow down the midi to even hear this - I'm using
the note durations for giving feedback hence I wondered if there is a way
to solve this.
I first thought it was due to floating point limits but the third triplet
is correct. Any ideas?
