Hi everyone,
So I’m writing a function that reimplements the ‘\compoundMeter’ command with
an Orff-style time signature, whereby the denominator of the signature is a
note head (as opposed to a number), e.g. 4/4 = 4/crotchet, 9/8 =
3/dotted-crotchet, 15/16+2/4 = 5/dotted-quaver + 2/crotchet. I’ve been able to
implement the first two cases, i.e. no additive signatures, but I’d like to
make the third example work.
**My first question is: does anyone know where can I find the source (scm or
otherwise) for \compoundMeter? I can’t find it in the ‘share/scm’ folder. I
feel like it would be helpful to reference.**
My attempts to make this work have involved trying to generate the markup using
foreach loops, that crawl through a list of lists that might look like:
( (3 3 (ly:make-duration 3 1)) (4 (ly:make-duration 2)) )
which would be equal to: (9+9/16)+(4/4). All elements except for the last of
each loop are numerators, while the last is the denominator.
-----------------
This is the scheme code doing the work (not finished, but the basics should
work?). The list-of-lists is referred to as ‘durs':
\version “2.18.2"
...
(markup
(#:line
( for-each
(lambda (x)
(markup "+")
( #:center-column
;; Numerator Markup. The list supplied to the for-each loop doesn’t
contain the duration. [“(cdr (reverse x))”]
(#:line
(for-each
(lambda (y)
(
( markup "+")
(#:number (number->string y) )
)
)
(cdr (reverse x))
)
)
;; Denominator markup.
(#:note-by-number
(ly:duration-log (car (reverse x)))
(ly:duration-dot-count (car (reverse x)))
DOWN
)
)
)
durs
)
)
)
This haphazard collection of markup needs to somehow fit into:
\override Score.TimeSignature #'text =
which accepts ‘markup’, singular, only.
This throws errors such as:
warning: type check for `stencil' failed; value `#<unspecified>' must
be of type `stencil'
------------------
**So my second question is: How do I programmatically generate markup from
information taken from a list, and then put it into a single markup variable?**
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Matt._______________________________________________
