The script is probably good. As a BarFly user I don't really need it,
but quite a lot of the ABCs I've posted on the web (including many of
the O'Neill 1001's) contains BarFly ornament macros, and it's nice if
visitors with other software can have them played back correctly too :-)
But here is a thought about the ornament macro system itself:
Currently the system can only add notes. How about rests? We don't need
the letter z to signify a note in a macro anyway (since s' does exactly
the same job), so why not?
Here's an example:
X:1
T:Macro example
m: Rn = n/G,//z//
M:C
L:1/4
K:G
RG RA RB Rc|Rd Re Rf Rg|]
X:2
T:Macro example (expanded the way BarFly does it today)
M:C
L:1/4
K:G
G/G,//e'// A/G,//f'// B/G,//g'// c/G,//a'//|\
d/G,//b'// e/G,//c''// f/G,//d''// g/G,//e''//|]
X:3
T:Macro example (expanded with rests)
M:C
L:1/4
K:G
G/G,//z// A/G,//z// B/G,//z// c/G,//z//|\
d/G,//z// e/G,//z// f/G,//z// g/G,//z//|]
(BTW, this example also includes a fixed note (G,) within a macro. I was
going to suggest that as an addition too, but discovered to my suprise
that BarFly already has that feature although it doesn't seem to be
documented anywhere.)
