is a trivial issue, so I wouldn't worry
any more about it. There are ways of including maxima,
there is documentation (if some of us would only read it!),
and there are threads in the archive discussing one minor
oddity. I think you have more important t
ome known in the code or
documentation this way.

Sure. According to Groves it was pretty much dead by the end

Hi Mark,
Having given the matter a little more thought:
I'm not sure there *is* a modern version of a maxima, as there
is of a breve or a long. A good reason for the lacuna is that
there isn't much--or any--need for one, save for historical or pedagogical
reasons. I don't have

Right. This seems incorrect behavior. Having a hole just
doesn't seem the right thing to do...
For referenc
The r\maxima is documented in paragraph 1.2.2 of the Notation Guide. It
works for me, see below.
It is, of course, not right in perfect mode, with three breves to the long,
in which case each long rest should fill three spaces.
\score {
\relative c'' {
\set Score.ti
Whoops--mistake on what I sent.
Replace the line
f'1. f2 \[ e\breve c\breve d\breve c\maxima \]
with
f'1. f2 e\breve c\breve d\breve c\maxima
to get the maxima rest with the maxima notehead later.
By the way, I much prefer the Petrucci style note heads
for breves,
Hi, all.
In the project I'm working on, I've hit a need for a maxima (hooray!).
Okay, it is -real- music, more pedagogic, but what the heck! It's a
maxima!
However, oddly (to me), the standard noteheads support a maxima rest,
but not a maxima note. To get the notes, I need t
stems or two downstems. Usually, a longa is a brevis with downstem to
the right (signifying doubling* the note value), and a maxima is a longa with
an elongated head (again doubling* the value). Sometimes the downstem is
replaced by an upstem (always to the right) without changing the semant
to have a \maxima notehead or does this
not exist in Emmentaler?
\maxima seems to be reserved for rests since
{
c'' \longa
}
yields
none of note heads `noteheads.s' or `noteheads.d' found
Is this a missing notehead in Emmentaler, or do we not have such a
glyph on purpose?
\override Staff.NoteHead.style = #'baroque

unfortunately not. It will change the notehead style (which I'll keep
for this example), but it won't give me a \maxima (i.e. the notehead
with stems on both sides.

This is arguably wrong musically, but I was asked to render the sample
just like in the old print.

Does adding

do what you are looking for?
Kind regards,

Hi all,
do we have something for the notehead in the attached image?
I need to print a note lasting four 4/4 measures.
{
c'' \longa
}
does produce the desired duration and the result shown in the second
attachment. But is it possible to have a \maxima notehead or does this
no
