Yes, I see. Now the warning is gone. What I mean is this: Now I’m start tweaking all the parameters and creating a nice score, but you can see that each duration line if there’s a note that “superpose” on his duration, it breaks. I think it’s just a parameter to turn off, but I cannot figure out

Here is a copy of my message to Jacopo. I seem to forget to reply all! Hi everyone, Yes music notation is strictly pre-cartesian. Notice the durational representation of musical time requires all these dots, ties, and prolation brackets to get anything that isn't just powers of 2. And notes don't

But it is not. Even with proportional notation you can't get linear spacing for bars occupying a specified exact length. A simple example, if you have a lot of very short notes in a position they just can't fit in to 3cm = 1 second. Andrew On 4/02/2023 8:50 pm, Jacopo Greco d'Alceo wrote: th

My composer colleague always wants to write 3cm = 1 second for his scores. I insist that music is not linear graph paper and never was. So we disagree. I just do not believe musicians read music that way. Yet this is what some people want. Consequently I have looked into this and I do not know
