Hello all, Following my fun experience writing some documentation for makam.ly and Turkish classical music, I'm thinking of writing a section on contemporary music for the Notation Reference. This would join the existing sections of Chapter 2 on various other forms of specialist notation.
The topics would include 20th/21st-century pitch concerns (so, an extended discussion of microtonality and non-traditional key signatures), rhythmic aspects (including contemporary time signatures), and various other contemporary innovations (cutaway scores, tone-clusters, etc. etc. etc.). It would partly be new material and partly be a home (or expansion of) some examples currently in the Snippets section. So, some questions. (i) Would people be interested in having this in the docs? (ii) Any requests or suggestions for topics that should be covered? (iii) What are the restrictions on including examples from actual contemporary scores? I'm not thinking huge extracts, but maybe a couple of bars from a known work just to illustrate how a particular thing can be achieved. (iv) Anyone interested in helping out with this? Thanks & best wishes, -- Joe _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
