Yes, I think you're right that an svg file is superior to a png file. In the svg file, all the objects are resolution-independent. So the score and its components can be scaled arbitrarily without raterizing degradation.
It's remarkably easy to enter these kinds of scores using a MIDI sequencer, and remarkably difficult to generate these kinds of scores using conventional computer notation programs. That's why Lilypond is such a godsend there. At least Lilypond make it possible to generate these kinds of score. (To enter these kinds of things using a MIDI sequencer, you just figure out the number of ticks per quarter-note for each tuplet and enter it. If we're using a timebase of 480 ticks per quarter-note, then an 12:11 quarter-note has 11/13(480) ticks, or 406.15 ticks. This means that every 7 13:11 quarter-notes you add one tick. To enter notes of these length in any MIDI sequencer, you merely choose STEP ENTRY and then pick the note-length, 406 ticks, and enter the note. It's trivial.) Since the function of the score is for analysis rather than performance, it's unimportant whether Lilypond crashes as long as we can generate something that can be patched together as a png or svg file and then printed. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/How-to-get-a-polymeter-with-time-signature-89888449-5199909-against-742739-45045-tp196205p196251.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
