Subject: Re: inversions in lilypond 1.8.2 Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2003 10:12:41 +0200 From: Amelie Zapf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Ray Brohinsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all, as with all discussions about chords, let me throw in my 2¢... Voice leading is NOT an option. Voice leading is a MUST. But with chord name notation, it is usually left up to the player. Only if the lowest voice _in_the_entire_ensemble_, meaning usually the bass player, is to play a specific note is this expressly denoted with a slash: F/A. Voice leading in the middle voices is strictly up to the player. I might caution you against inversion support. Especially when you get to chords with an upper structure beyond the 7th, you cannot speak of "inversion" anymore, there's just "voicings" in which some notes are left out, and the rest is usually spaced at distances between thirds and fifths, with fourths sounding the smoothest. How should these inversions come out on the paper, anyway?
