Yep. That would be a great idea… now that you mention it :-) > Maybe the cleanest in a musical sense would be if an "inversion" split > the set of pitches into two, the ones preceding the inversion point and > the ones afterwards and then raise the octaves of the preceding pitches > en bloc such that the first inverted pitch becomes higher than the last > non-inverted pitch. That’s more or less what I have in mind. Now I have to devise a somehow not-entirely-ugly implementation, which is where it gets unnatural to me. > That would not be exactly like repeated application of \raiseNote (which > could in theory end up "flattening" more than one interval happening to > be larger than an octave) Indeed. Flattened intervals are the antithesis of what we’re looking for here (if anything, interesting voicings come down to doing the opposite: injecting larger-than-octave intervals inside clustered chords primarily consisting of many seconds and thirds).
