Re: lyrics for right-left writing systems such as hebrew or arabic

2009-04-19 Thread Richard Schoeller
One common approach when combining a right-to-left language with left-to-right musical notation is to render each syllable of the lyrics right-to-left but have the overall flow of the music left-to-right. I haven't tried this with any of the stuff that I've done (I present the lyrics in transl

Re: accel./rit. in MIDI?

2008-12-25 Thread Richard Schoeller
I haven't seen a response to this. I accomplish this by using a slightly different score structure for my midi output than for the pdf output. In the midi output you can implement accel and rit by simply changing tempo. You can also deal with unfolding DS, DC, to Coda, etc. Mark Polesky wro

Understood. I was just making an observation for those who might expect greater consistency. I know that I was surprised the first time that I saw that kind of inconsistency. On Tue, 2006-12-19 at 23:22 +0100, Han-Wen Nienhuys wrote: > They are not meant to port well; we're interested in change

Han-Wen, If you overlay the two images, all you need is to display the pixels that are different in a different color. We used that approach when testing regressions in the Motif toolkit back in '93/'94. It is very valuable. The tool actually let you display new, old and overlay. The overlay w

Re: Tab ?

Han-Wen, GuitarTab, BassGuitarTab certainly make sense. I haven't seen tab for twelve string, but it might be out there. It certainly won't hurt to have it. 5 string basses are common enough that you might want to handle those explicitly. I would not bother with 6 strings (or more) basses or 7

Dave, It will box the next molecule. Certainly a quoted string qualifies. More complicated things can too. For example: \markup \box \column << { "string 1" } { "string 2" } >> Will put a box around the whole construct, something like this: +--+ | string 1 | | string 2 | +--+

Han-Wen, I believe you that it would be easy if I were much better at scheme than I am. At my level of expertise at lisp-like languages, I would put it at possible rather than easy. I'll take a poke at it and see if anything useful falls out. Dick On Mon, 2003-06-30 at 21:12, Han-Wen Nienhuys

The example in boxed-molecule.ly does not use the new macro (at least in 1.7.22). I'd be interested in examples of how to use that macro. Especially to see if I can wire it into markup. I'd like to draw boxes around parts of a text markup. Dick On Sun, 2003-06-29 at 16:59, Mats Bengtsson wrote
