In git is now a new Upbeat command. It works on ticks basis and therefore needs only basic math instead of crawling through the measure and counting notes. The main thing that distinguishes Upbeat from Anacrusis and ShortMeasure is that it creates a valid, complete and full Denemo measure. Since lilyponds \partial does not work only in the beginning but anywhere this can be used to make any measure "full", no matter how many real notes are in there. The script deletes/updates itself if invoked a second time. But Denemos directives are static, so if you change the number of real notes in a measure you have to invoke the script a second time. This is no different from before or any other Directive.
Since the Measure is "complete" for Denemo it should just work with any "check partial measure" or ReBar scripts. Funny thing is that I created all this conversion and math stuff the last two days (in denemo.scm) and in the end I realized I don't need this at all. This makes it more easy to maintain :) I don't know if I missed a part for what Anacrusis is used or if Upbeat has different behaviour you do not like. In other words: Please test. Nils P.S. There is a chance that it will break on VERY VERY complex durations. Very complex means that fractions of a 256th note has to be in the equation. But short tests with a triplet of 256th and deleting one and dotting one just worked surprisingly. Maybe there is some Lilypond mechanism that helps us, too. On the other hand: Those are the same durations that break the Tick-System at all, not only Upbeat. So anything that relies on Ticks (midi playback?) will break anyway then. _______________________________________________ Denemo-devel mailing list Denemo-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/denemo-devel
