Dear Lilypond experts, I need to type a series of examples of mensural music, in which three parts (Cantus, Altus & Bassus) contain 3 semibreves per bar, one part (Tenor) contains three breves per bar. I am notating it using 3/1 and 6/1 fractions, but I would like to use timesig.neomensural98 (str

Furthermore, there is the rule that, if there is an upbeat, upbeat and last measure of the piece must add up to one full bar. I’m not sure where it comes from and how widely it is obeyed, but at least for a “classical” period in the 18th to 20th centuries it’s to be regarded as standard. So as

Another idea if it’s unclear what the composer wanted: The first beat of measures 6 and 40 is not the ending of the phrase before, but the beginning of a new one (phrases end in 5 and 39). So in my opinion this measure “Bleibe” doesn’t have an “upbeat character”. On 02.09.2014 12:36, Malte Me

Ming, Can you 'somehow' remove the solfege engraver for your example (keep the includes but just remove for the sake of testing) the references to it. I think the problem is in this 'Scheme' syntax. If we can narrow it down to just that engraver then we stand a better chance of working out t
