Hey all, I finally figured out a workaround - if one knows the exact length of her piece (say it is 3**7 32nd notes) and one knows the shortest duration in the piece (say 32nd notes), then NOT removing the Bar_engraver, keeping \set Score.timing = ##f, and adding a Voice { \repeat unfold 2187 { s32 \bar "" } } takes 1hr on my machine compared to the 14 of the \remove Bar_engraver solution. In the documentation for 2.12.0, I believe it suggests removing the Bar_engraver as an option when making barless music - until the two solutions take a comparable time to compile, I think an asterisk should be added mentioning this discrepancy. To convince yourself, try the following 2 minimal examples:
1) Quick way : \version "2.13.0" \new Score \with { proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4) \override TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f } { \new Staff = "foo" { \set Score.timing = ##f { \repeat unfold 2000 a4 } \\ { \repeat unfold 2000 s4 \bar "" } } } \layout { \context { \Voice \remove Stem_engraver \remove Beam_engraver } } 2) Slow way : \version "2.13.0" \new Score \with { proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4) \override TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f } { \new Staff = "foo" { \set Score.timing = ##f \repeat unfold 2000 a4 } } \layout { \context { \Staff \remove Bar_engraver } \context { \Voice \remove Stem_engraver \remove Beam_engraver } } Of course, I am always on the lookout for a better way than either of these, so if you know of one, please let me know! ~Mike On 6/2/09 9:19 AM, "Mike Solomon" <mike...@ufl.edu> wrote: > Hey, > The piece is not from MIDI input, but rather was generated > algorithmically in Python (thus the rigidity of the layout that you picked > up on).
