I am developing Piano_TAB notation. In this music notation there is one staff
in stead of two. On one staff you can write not more than two voices at a
time. (Well it is possible but it looks ugly and not clear) The digits are
for rhythmic notation.
Right hand is always writen with the stem up and for the right hand stems
down. When writing complex pianomusic its not possible to write all the
notes in a good looking way so i am trying to find a better way. Look to
this example below:(copy to freshcobaldi)
%BEGIN
\version "2.18.2"
\header {
title = "Example"
subtitle = ""
subsubtitle = ""
composer = "Philip Bergwerf"
tagline = "Copyright Philip Bergwerf 2016 Piano_Tab"
poet = "Piano_TAB"
}
%
PtStaff =
\relative c' {<<{
%voiceOne
<c~ e>8_"(c)"-"have to use a lot ties. looks unclear."-"notehead because
then i don't "-"'c' notehead into a whole note "-"i want to change the
first" <c~ f> <c~ g'><c~ a'><c~ b'><c~ a'><c~ g'><c f>
\bar "||"
\time 2/8
<c_~ e>_"the first 'c' is a quarter beacause of the tie. "_"i want to
express that by making "_" a '4' as notehead so i don't have to use a
tie."_"So digits for rhythmic notation" <c f>
\bar "|."
}\\{\relative c{
%voiceTwo
}}>>}
\score {
\new PianoStaff \with {
staffLineLayoutFunction =
#ly:pitch-semitones
middleCPosition = #-6
clefGlyph = #"clefs.G"
clefPosition = #(+ -6 7)
}{
\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-positions = #'(21 19 16 14 12 9 7 4 2
0 -2.8 -3 -3.2 -4.8 -5 -5.2 -8 -10 -12 -15 -17 -20 -22 -24 -27 -29) \time
4/4 << \PtStaff >>}
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\remove "Accidental_engraver"
\remove "Key_engraver"
\remove "Clef_engraver"
}
}
}
%END
Notice that in this example i am writing for only right hand so its not
possible to use a second voice. Well i want to now if there is a short way
to change one notehead in a chord to 'whole', 'half', '4', '8' or '16'. I
want to know if this rhythmic notation should look clear and Lilypond is THE
program that supports alternative notations.
And if anyone has great ideas about rhythmic notaion, write them down;-)
Cheers, Philip Bergwerf
