Re: Towards a new pitch representation

2010-12-30 Thread Felipe Gonçalves Assis
So, first question 1. How should we represent alterations? It is clear to me that the most general representation would be as a list of integers of arbitrary length (see sections 1 and 2 of the attachment). However, a fixed length list might be more realistic. In my patch, I opted for a pair of

Towards a new pitch representation

2010-12-30 Thread Felipe Gonçalves Assis
Hello, Issue 1278 (http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1278) clarified that, in order to support some microtonal notations, LilyPond needs to use a different pitch representation. I am willing to make that happen. Of course, this will require some contribution from more experienced

systems-per-page and page-count do not work together

2010-12-30 Thread Reinhold Kainhofer
It seems that if you specify both systems-per-page and page-count, then lilypond will disregard page-count. Instead of stretching the notes, it will simply use less pages than desired and cram the notes together. Minimal example attached. Lilypond will always use 2 pages (with 3 systems each) r

Splitting up a multi-measure rest (in the part-combiner)

While workign on some real-world score, I ran into another problem with part- combining that I don't know how to solve: Sometimes in a part-combined staff, after a multi-measure rest, one of the two instruments sets in a little earlier than the second one. During that measure, the second instrum
