Thank you, Graham and Guoguocuozuoduo, I didn't get it was a setup variable (maybe working late at night doesn't help) and finally I found make-duration in the manual (maybe google doesn't work well at night either). So it's just a variable, but wonderfully it works like a new duration:
\version "2.18.2" breveTP = #(ly:make-duration -1 0 3/2) %brevis Tempus Perfetum minimaPP = #(ly:make-duration 1 0 2/3) %minima Prolatio Perfecta notesa = { \time 3/1 a\breveTP g1 g g a\minimaPP a a a a a a a a } notesb = { \time 3/1 a1 a a a\minimaPP a a a a a a a a g1 g g } \score{ << \new Staff << \notesa >> \new Staff << \notesb >> >> } Cool, thank you! -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Setting-note-durations-tp168862p168883.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
