Re: tuplets (was: GDP for kids :)
2007/9/21, Trevor Bača [EMAIL PROTECTED]: In German the word is Tupel vs. Duole, Triole, Pentole etc. I never really heard Tupel in musical context, only mathemathically. My musical lexicon doesn't know it - but my favourite online dictionary doesn't know tuplet either. Yeah, I may be spreading unsubstantiated rumours here, but the term seems definitely to have shown up first in English (rather than FR or DE) and I *think* it actually originated in an early version of the Finale user manual (God help us). I've never been able to verify this last bit, but, if true, it would at least explain why the word doesn't seem to exist in any EN dictionaries yet. Henning, is das (?) Tupel the same word that gets used in math to talk about ordered collections of stuff like (17, 18, 29)? EN has tuple for such things ... and tuplet (with the final t) seems to be a completely novel musical term backformed from triplet, quadruplet, quintuplet, [s|h]extuplet, etc. Maybe DE has to make due with only one form of the word? Or possibly you guys could borrow in Tuplet? Or perhaps that simply looks absurd ... As Mark Knoop wrote, (indeed das) Tupel is normally a vector and as a musical term seems to be as common as tuplet. For the German tuplets named Duole, Triole, Quartole, Quintole/Pentole etc. the neologism would have to be die Tupole, but I guess that's silly.

Halfprall and accidentals
Using the before mentioned Unicode font Euterpe and the Unicode character U+1D19D (written \U1D19D below) in it, I was able to create an ornament sign similar to \prall (but shorter) using the definition halfprall=^\markup {\override #'(font-size . 3.5) {\U1D19D}} However, when combining an accidental, as say in b^\halfprall^\sharp, the accidental may erratically end up below, different uses on long distances may influence each there. So I suspect I should define a proper markup object, as in the file script.scm, which defines (define-public default-script-alist '(... (prall . ((script-stencil . (feta . (prall . prall))) (padding . 0.20) (avoid-slur . around) (direction . 1))) ... But I am not sure exactly how to do that for the character U+1D19D. And it would be nice to define a markup similar to b-., but with the . replaced by U+1D19D, which then should expand to \halfprall. Is that possible?

2007/9/24, Johan Vromans [EMAIL PROTECTED]: To generate a complete midi from a score, I need to unfold D.S. al Coda repeats. Any suggestions how to do this? There is no automagical way to do it (at least there wasn't when I asked last time). Try to split your voives in several parts, assign them to variables and use different sections (and sets of those variable-bound music) to construct print and midi output. I use that e.g. for rounds - the PDF should just show the one voice, but the MIDI plays the whole harmony. In this case it's simple, I just use the same voice several times, offset by some rests.

Personally, I thought it was a strange term when I first came across it -- yes, in the Finale manual -- especially since 90% of all tuplets are TRIplets, but on the other hand, once one gets used to it, it is a handy term. Just wondering. Eyolf -- It is commonly reported, my dear Georad, that there exists great natural virtue in the melange experience. Perhaps this is true. There remain within me, however, profound doubts that every use of melange always brings virtue. Me seems that certain persons have corrupted the use of melange in defiance of God. In the words of the Ecumenon, they have disfigured the soul. They skim the surface of melange and believe thereby to attain grace.: They deride their fellows, do great harm to godliness, and they distort the meaning of this abundant gift maliciously, surely a mutilation beyond the power of man to restore. To be truly at one with the virtue of the spice, uncorrupted in all ways, full of goodly honor, a man must permit his deeds and his words to agree.

I hate to ask, but... :( Ravel died in 1937 but the Sonatine was finished earlier, in 1905 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonatine_%28Ravel%29). Isn't copyright something like 75 years max? If so the Sonatine should be public by now, though it's possible that any of his various publishers along the way may have taken out renewals or something. Please somebody correct me, but my understanding of fair use is that a snippet of absolutely anything, regardless of medium -- score, soundfile, text, film, whatever -- is perfectly acceptable to use, so long as you're not trying to make any money with it (which we're in the bizarrely unique position of). So I would assume that a snippet of any score -- even a bit of Grisey published only a couple of years back -- should be completely acceptable; I seem to remember the upward limit being something like no more than 10% of a work quoted, even if in separate fragments. At any rate, there are three separate copyright strategies (at least) that we can take with the headwords: 1. Use only stuff that we're absolutely certain is public domain, which in our case means tonal stuff from the common practice; 2. Use whatever we want, so long as we're respect fair use guidelines in a professional way; 3. Write our own examples. Copyright strategy #1 is certainly the safest and there is without doubt an abundance of beautiful material in scores of the common practice. But many of the most beautiful scoring achievements of all live in later centuries. Copyright strategy #2 should be fine. This is the point of fair use, after all. Copyright strategy #3 is actually a possibility for our team -- we have a community of composers available (and I'm not just guessing here -- I've traded score with many new friends on the list, and I've been quite astounded in some cases). So this might ultimately be the most interesting strategy of all -- commission each chapter's headword from a different composer on the list. I'll get the ball rolling by hacking up an original headword for 1.2 Rhythms, just as you had suggested. If the example works (beautiful and characteristic of Lily, both interesting and inviting) then maybe we can ask some of the other composers on the list to contribute, too, or extend an open invitation; I'd be happy to help guide the process and make selections. 2.

OK, it's not a requirement. What *is* a requirement is getting rid of that hideous line-breaking with the slurs at the beginning of line two.

Err... no, that is totally incorrect. Movie piracy (on the internet, not in physical form) is almost entirely not trying to make money with it, but is forbidden by law in most countries. (let's not get sidetracked by a discussion about morality; I'm only addressing the legal status of fair use or fair dealing, as I understand them with my non-expert knowledge, in Western countries) So I would assume that a snippet of any score -- even a bit of Grisey published only a couple of years back -- should be completely acceptable; I seem to remember the upward limit being something like no more than 10% of a work quoted, even if in separate fragments. Again, no. Many university post a no more than 10% of the work rule in various places, but that's already using their special educational exceptions. 2. Use whatever we want, so long as we're respect fair use guidelines in a professional way; I'm not positive that fair use applies in this case. If we were evaluating the musical worth of Ravel -- particularly if we were comparing it to something else -- then quoting six bars is totally fine. But we're not reviewing his work; we're using his music as an example of our typesetting quality. 3. Write our own examples. This is my preferred option. That's why I started composing, after all.
