Hello LilyPonders, I composed my first piece in proportional notation using a constant measurement of 1 second per bar (thus, each bar must always have the same length throughout the whole score). The notes consist of noteheads only, no flags, no beams, no stems, so the only reference for the players about the timing is the horizontal position of the note inside a bar (think of Xenakis' /Psappha/ but with a more irregular rhythm and less vertical lines for reference http://www.iannis-xenakis.org/partitions/partition_58.jpg )
I tried to notate this piece in LilyPond, but unfortunately it is not working so far: inside of a single bar, the relations are indeed proportional using the techniques described in the manual, but the problem is the relation between two or more bars in a system, or even between different systems. A piece like this should have always the same number of bars per system, and the barlines between any two systems should always coincide horizontally (since the bar lengths should be the same). So my question is: how to notate this with LilyPond? Is this possible? If someone wants to see more examples of this type of notation, just let me know and I can go through my scores to share some examples (this type of notation is fairly common with music from the 20th and 21th centuries). Thanks a lot.
