Dear Collective Wisdom, I'm at it again and trying new things. It looks promising, but still not working right.
I looked at this snippet again: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/snippets/rhythms#printing-music-with-different-time-signatures And realized I missed this little tidbit: global = { \time 3/4 { s2.*3 } \bar "" \break { s2.*3 } } If I understand correctly, this is the "meta-voice" that Jan-Peter is talking about; a command that tells the engraver to break lines every three measures. So I used the same sort of set-up for my piece, tweaking the numbers, of course. It works on the first page very nicely: http://old.nabble.com/file/p31887010/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-06-20%2Bat%2B5.33.10%2BPM.png I thought, fantastic! No extensive calculations. No fancy logarithms (I know that's basic math for most of you, but that's precisely when I checked out of math classes. Oops.). But it didn't work on the following page: http://old.nabble.com/file/p31887010/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-06-20%2Bat%2B5.34.05%2BPM.png I can't figure out why. Why would it work on one page and not the following? Neither of them have convenient places to break. I copied all of my changes to my short "test" version of the piece, and with that, it breaks after the first two measures. Again, I'm not really able to figure out why. Thoughts? I've attached the test version and the pdf thereof. I have avoided attaching the full version of the piece because of its size, but if anyone wants to see it, just say the word... Thanks for your help! cheers, Andrea http://old.nabble.com/file/p31887010/putrefaction_test.ly putrefaction_test.ly http://old.nabble.com/file/p31887010/putrefaction_test.pdf putrefaction_test.pdf -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Polymetric-music-and-page-breaks-tp31728865p31887010.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
