Adam Bartlett a écrit :
What I have found is that the note spacing conventions for Latin chant,
that is, note spacing over the /vowel/, is not aesthetically preferable
for chant settings that set English texts. Perhaps there is a more even
dispersion of vowels and consonances in Latin which makes the note
distribution more even, I'm not quite sure.
Dear Adam,
indeed, english centering (like other languages such as french) is very
different from the latine one.
*MY QUESTION TO YOU: *Can I COMMISSION someone to write a feature in
Gregorio that centers notes to the syllable, or to the word, perhaps
through a command in the GABC header?
This is fairly easy to implement, I can do it if you want.
I myself have been commissioned for this collection of English chants
and I am very happy to share the wealth with the Gregorio developers who
have produced the best method available for chant engraving. I am most
grateful for this software platform and will likely make a donation
either way because of the importance of Gregorio in the work that I'm doing.
That would be great, but maybe the destination of the donation should be
Tracy, as I don't really maintain gregorio anymore (and the current
donation process goes to me).
Please let me know, anyone, if this is a feature that could be added to
the platform in the foreseeable future. Even perhaps in the coming
weeks... I can pay a fair amount for the creation and stabilization of
this feature.
It can be added very soon, let's finish this discussion privately.
Thank you,
