contemporary accidental style

2012-05-21 Thread Orm Finnendahl
Hi, for years I'm sorely missing an accidental style for contemporary music, which I always use and which is quite common among contemporary composers in my experience. At the moment it requires quite some extra work in every score implementing the accidentals explicitely although its behaviour c

2007-01-28 Thread Orm Finnendahl
Hi, we use additional simple up/down arrows placed left to normal accidentals, giving a concise way to specify the complete eighth tone scale. The glyphs are actually included in the font. This would make even more changing of alteration syntax necessary, though. I don't mind to be able to combin

proposal: second style for quartertone accidentals

2007-01-27 Thread Orm Finnendahl
Hi, for a while I wanted to suggest adding the option of using a different style for microtone accidentals. I personally prefer the use of up or down arrows on extended vertical lines of the standard accidentals (see attached example). The advantage of this style is a better differentiation of enh

Hi, something seems completely wrong here: \version "2.11.7" \relative c { #(set-octavation 1) b4~ #(set-octavation 2) b4~ #(set-octavation 1) b4~ #(set-octavation 0) b4 } all pitches should be the same (and lilypond obviously thinks so as it prints the slurs) but the octaves are messed up
