I should also have mentioned that Phil supplies a library of macros that can
be selected without you having to explicitly define the macro in the header.
For instance the "Norbeck Roll Macros" library says:
Henrik Norbeck reckons that rolls should be timed like this, based on
experiments with a MIDI sequencer. He specifies that the gracenotes should
take their time from the following note, so perhaps they should be written
as ~n2 = o/4n3/4m/4n3/4 and ~n3 = no/4n3/4m/4n3/4. Please experiment for
yourself.
m: ~n2 = {o}n{m}n
m: ~n3 = n{o}n{m}n
This means you don't have to put these two macro definitions into every tune
in your collection but can select them from a menu. Very nifty.
The "Flute Rolls" library defines the same macros this way with both general
and specific (instrument dependent) rolls. Phil already has explained that
this is done to address the use of ornaments on the bottom notes of
instruments such as flutes and pipes.
m: ~n2 = (3p/n/m/ n
m: ~n3 = n (3p/n/m/ n
m: ~C3 = C (3E/C/D/ C %Cranns on C?
m: ~C2 = (3E/C/D/ C
m: ~c3 = c (3e/c/d/ c
m: ~c2 = (3e/c/d/ c
m: ~D3 = D (3F/D/E/ D %and on D?
m: ~D2 = (3F/D/E/ D
m: ~d3 = d (3f/d/e/ d
m: ~c2 = (3f/d/e/ d
