Augmentation dots reg test

2016-10-28 Thread Carl Sorensen
I have worked some more on the augmentation dot algorithms, including adding the directions (/DotsUp, /DotsDown). I would like your opinion on whether the attached regression test, which is different from the current development regression tests, is correct. I think it is, but I'd like your op

Re: compound time signature with non duple denominator

Btw, having the new list syntax in mind I wondered whether this would work in recent development versions: \compoundMeter 4/4,1/3 But it does not the 4/4 translates to (4 . 4) and not (4 4). \compoundMeter (4,4),(1,3) does not work either. Can this list syntax be grouped somehow? I mean in a way

I just wanted to add my two cents to the discussion here. I tend to engrave piano music more often than not and I don't mind the current syntax. The only thing that I'd rather like seeing improved is the nesting of the voices rests. Rests tend to get pushed out of the center and away from the sta
