Fellow Users:
Using the Frescobaldi wizard (Tools/Setup New Score), I created a Piano
Staff for three polyphonic voices. (I am coding WTC 1 Fugue 3.)
\score {
\new PianoStaff \with {
instrumentName = "Piano"
} <<
\new Staff = "right" \with {
midiInstrument = "acoustic grand"
} << \rightOne \\ \rightTwo >>
\new Staff = "left" \with {
midiInstrument = "acoustic grand"
} { \clef bass \left }
>>
\layout { }
\midi {
\context {
\Score
tempoWholesPerMinute = #(ly:make-moment 100 4)
}
}
}
I could find only one reference to polyphony in the Lilypond online
documentation - Notation Reference 1.5.2. That reference was for only single
staff.
I am unable to locate directions on how to do two types of notation.
The first is how to have the notation for the middle voice move from the
treble staff to the bass staff and back (This to avoid ledger lines.) The
online documentation (Notation Reference 2.2.1) provides instruction for all
pitch notations in the treble moving to the bass. Directions to relevant
portions of the manual would be greatly helpful and appreciated.
The second is how to make a voice "silent" for several measures. In a
completed coding of the same piece (Mutopiaproject.org), Davide Castellone
using version 2.9.9 enters the code: s1 s1*5 s1 s1 s1. I have attempted this
command in my code. It gets an error message.
Does version 2.16.0 have a comparable command? Where is it discussed in the
manual?
Thank you for your kind attention.
