Yes, the scaled durations are elegant and offer marvellous result (as Kieren showed). Thank you, I did not notice this functionality. However, it presumes, that I make the collation first outside lilypond, count the durations and necessary multiplicators "in advance", taking into account all the versions. And only then input this into the lilypond file. However, in the normal course of the work, I do not know in advance, how much skips are necessary or how big the multiplicator should be. This is something, which appears only after the collation of all the versions is done. What I see clearly in each the version, are just the common patterns. So, I would simply like to tell Lilypond: please, align vertically this certain bit of music in all staves. The scaled durations do not offer a solution, just a workaround. Lilypond still attempts to "count" the beats, aligning vertically beat after beat. What I would like to achieve is to force Lilypond not to count beats at all. Rather, to align vertically certain "bits of music" which I mark clearly somehow, for example by the "|" sing (as in parallel music). Is there such a possibility? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Creating-a-comparison-of-several-variants-of-unmettered-chant-tp27515617p27516680.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
