Many do, and Vivi doesn't do that yet. That comes under the topic of "expressive music performance", which is a few steps down the road. There's a few examples of variable skill (including applying a normal distribution to the timing) at the bottom of this page: http://percival-music.ca/favorites.html Most research on expressive music performance uses piano or perhaps guitars -- for those instruments, the sound of a note is pretty much determined by the initial pitch, time, and velocity. (leaving aside quibbles like guitar glissando, piano pedaling, etc) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
