Re: [abcusers] ghostnotes
Is it possible in abcm2ps, whish I'm running, to notate ghostnotes,
either with the note in ( and ), with a cross for note head or
as a smaller note?
Gracenotes {} won't do, since that makes a slur to the following note.
That slur is a design bug in abc2ps. No other program makes the same
blunder, and there are fixed versions of abc2ps available.
What's a ghostnote, anyway? When you say crossed noteheads, do you
mean the unpitched notes used to indicate claps, stamps and the like?

Hmmm What's a ghostnote, anyway? Well first I should say that I'm a jazz-musician. A ghostnote is a note that is more felt than heard. Some people find this hard to handle and would argue that either the note is there and you write it or it's not and you don't. But it's common practice to write the note you feel in brackets. This all comes down to transcribing jazz-solos being half transcribing and half analysis - what is the soloist's intention here. For instance you notate laidback phrases as if they were being played right on and maybe put laid back over the passage. When you say crossed noteheads, do you mean the unpitched notes used to indicate claps, stamps and the like? Yeah. Often the note is of uncertain pitch (low notes on a trumpet for instance), so you write crossed notehead normally where the note should be. -- Atte To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
