Yes. We need a string->moment function, as well as a better string->duration. > Second, unlike the helper function parse-simple-duration, > string->duration doesn't account for durations longer than a semibreve > since they can't be directly converted to a number. Ideal answer: oh yes, that is definitely a limitation. Pragmatic answer : hmm, do we really need \breve in metronome marks? > So, in conclusion, close but no cigar. ;) Hey, now it's your turn! The main issue I've been working on was: how to pass the text string as an argument to the metronomeMarkFormatter. Currently, it's a bit dirty (and heavy) but at least it produces a decent graphical output. I don't (yet) understand ly:make-duration and ly:make-moment well enough to improve the MIDI result. I have never been studying maths, programming or science (my studies were about ancient literature), so I'm learning everything from scratch here...
