Hi Christian: Hi there, I cannot figure out how to encode a 16th note rhythm. When counting by mouth I would say: "1and 2and 3and 4and" when all notes are taking part. In lilypond I would write: "g16 g g g g16 g g g g16 g g g g16 g g g". But how do I: "1ad 2ad 3ad 4ad"? Please notice I leave out

Considering this pattern "g16 g g8". I do understand that the second g is inheriting the 16 from the previous g. I don't understand why I need to g8 to get the fourth 16th note? Is it maybe that the duration from the second note to the third note is of an eight note? I probably have a different wa

You're not writing g8 to get a fourth 16th note; you're writing g8 to get an eighth note. Evidently your source material (I haven't looked at the youtube video myself) has two 16s and one 8th note. Cheers, - Graham On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 02:18:16PM -0400, Christian Henning wrote: > Considering
