Re: Implementation of \tuplet allow both incorrect and correct musical expressions

Re: placement of dot after notehead
Another thought, which is a musical solution rather than a lilypond tweak. You can use an equivalent time signature that may make it preferable in terms of readability. 12/8 is logically 4/4 (at a different tempo) and you use triplets. This can be easier one the eyes instead of all those dots.

Re: placement of dot after notehead
Hello Ming, here’s the best I could come up with. I remember that in hand-engraved scores, this is resolved by shifting the two notes further apart and placing the dots close to each one, which I now mimicked, albeit very poorly: the dot placement looks very odd now. Perhaps you’ll want to fiddle with extra-offset more, adjusting also the Y value (which I didn’t; you may also make the music function take it as another argument – see the Extending Manual on explanations), so it will look good.

Full header on every page vertically centered staves?

Re: Implementation of \tuplet allow both incorrect and correct musical expressions
Peter, My strange example of tuplets using neither Math Rule nor Nearness Rule will be clarified if I show the context. Here is that context from a part of the piece I wrote for solo bassoon: \version 2.18.2 \language english \score { \relative c' { \partial 4 \clef bass \key af \major c,,8( { \tuplet 5/2 { g'16 c ef g c) } } | ef4\fermata \tuplet 3/2 { df8 ef df } \tuplet 3/2 { c df c } \afterGrace bf4 \startTrillSpan { a32 bf \stopTrillSpan } | af,8-.[ c'-. bf-. g,-.] f-.[ af'-. g-. ef,-.] | df8( { \tuplet 7/2 { f16 bf df f bf df f~) } } f4~\fermata \tuplet 3/2 { f8 ef( f } \tuplet 3/2 { g16[ af g } f16 g]) | } %relative \layout { } \midi { } } %score My point is that in this context, the 5/2 and 7/2 tuplets seem more elegant than if you followed the Math Rule using 5/4 and 7/4, and that the player would not be confused when playing the score. These two tuplets are the only ones in this section and the triple beams (required by Math Rule) look rather messy by comparison. Even messier is the Nearness Rule giving 7/8 for the septuplet with a quaduple beam. In fact, a music jock college friend at the time (36 years ago) recopied my chicken scratches of the autograph and used precisely the 5/2 and 7/2 notation for the quintuplet and septuplet---I didn't even notice when I was engraving the LilyPond version from his hand-written score. It was only later that I realized that the 5/2 and 7/2 tuplets did not follow the Math Rule. Food for thought. - Original Message - From: Peter Bjuhr To: Simon Albrecht ; Ralph D.

Even messier is the Nearness Rule giving 7/8 for the septuplet with a quaduple beam. Thanks for sharing the full snippet! You have learned LilyPond quickly! And it's now easier to see what you are aiming for. The first bar is an upbeat (partial) so the timing isn't exact anyway. But the last bar with the septuplet is too crowded in my reading. I'd definitively prefer 32ths here instead of 16ths. But when you write that the 16ths are more elegant it suggests to me that you're aiming for a notation with more rhythmical freedom like grace notes or a cadenza. (You also use excessive brackets to enclose these tuplets that to me invoke the feeling of something (rhythmically) exceptional.) Interesting that you perceive it that way. Certainly, it looks less ‘impressive’. :-) Personally, I’d probably prefer following the Nearness Rule here. But, you see, for that reason it’s good that Lily gives us the freedom to choose ourselves. I totally agree! Lily should be a flexible tool and give the full freedom that it is up to the composer/engraver to master.

Steve, 1. Remember that the { } \\ { } ... syntax automatically (implicitly) applies \voiceXXX in ascending order. 2. Putting notes in proper voices usually eliminates any need to manually specify \stemUp and \stemDown, note\rest, etc. 3.

Re: Implementation of \tuplet allow both incorrect and correct musical expressions
Am 26.03.2015 um 20:59 schrieb Ralph D. Jeffords: Peter, My strange example of tuplets using neither Math Rule nor Nearness Rule will be clarified if I show the context. Here is that context from a part of the piece I wrote for solo bassoon: \version 2.18.2 \language english \score { \relative c' { \partial 4 \clef bass \key af \major c,,8( { \tuplet 5/2 { g'16 c ef g c) } } | ef4\fermata \tuplet 3/2 { df8 ef df } \tuplet 3/2 { c df c } \afterGrace bf4 \startTrillSpan { a32 bf \stopTrillSpan } | af,8-.[ c'-. bf-. g,-.] f-.[ af'-. g-. ef,-.] | df8( { \tuplet 7/2 { f16 bf df f bf df f~) } } f4~\fermata \tuplet 3/2 { f8 ef( f } \tuplet 3/2 { g16[ af g } f16 g]) | } %relative \layout { } \midi { } } %score My point is that in this context, the 5/2 and 7/2 tuplets seem more elegant than if you followed the Math Rule using 5/4 and 7/4, and that the player would not be confused when playing the score. These two tuplets are the only ones in this section and the triple beams (required by Math Rule) look rather messy by comparison. Even messier is the Nearness Rule giving 7/8 for the septuplet with a quaduple beam. Interesting that you perceive it that way. Certainly, it looks less ‘impressive’. :-) Personally, I’d probably prefer following the Nearness Rule here. But, you see, for that reason it’s good that Lily gives us the freedom to choose ourselves. Yours, Simon In fact, a music jock college friend at the time (36 years ago) recopied my chicken scratches of the autograph and used precisely the 5/2 and 7/2 notation for the quintuplet and septuplet---I didn't even notice when I was engraving the LilyPond version from his hand-written score. It was only later that I realized that the 5/2 and 7/2 tuplets did not follow the Math Rule.

From the context I assume you're referring to my post about tuplets on the LilyPond blog: http://lilypondblog.org/2014/09/how-to-write-readable-tuplets/. I'm really glad you found it interesting! The documentation mentions nothing about the intricacies of using tuplets---why isn't there a link to this article from the section 2.1.7 of the Learning Manual where tuplets are first discussed? Even before I read the essay I had some second thoughts that \tuplet 7/4 { c16 ... } might be clearer to the player if annotated as \tuplet 7/8 { c32 ... } since 7 is closer to 8 than to 4 (i.e., I anticipated the Nearness Rule). I also found that certain arpeggios which appeared in a bassoon composition of mine ( I just downloaded LilyPond about 10 days ago, knowing nothing about it before, and learned enough of the basics to engrave that composition) Welcome as a LilyPond user! [The arpeggios] seem easier to read if the notes are nominal 16ths rather than following the Mathematical Rule: { c,,8( \tuplet 5/2 { g'16 c ef g c ) } } { df8( \tuplet 7/2 { f16 bf df f bf df f~) } } So definitely there is a need for flexibility in using tuplets. My main point in the text is that the flexibility of LilyPond has to be used with care not to make the tuplets unnecessarily obscure. Your example above seems strange to me. Compare this: |{ c,,8( \tuplet 5/2 { g'16 c ef g c ) } c8 d2 s8 }|| || ||{ df8( \tuplet 7/2 { f16 bf df f bf df f~) } f8 d2 s8 } | with this: |{ c,,8( \tuplet 5/4 { g'16 c ef g c ) } c8 d2 }|| || ||{ df8( \tuplet 7/4 { f16 bf df f bf df f~) } f8 d2 }| When placing five (5) and seven (7) 16ths over two (2) 16ths it seems to me that you end up with an excessive 8th compared to what one expects from reading the notation. I am definitely impressed with LilyPond's capabilities and the input language (I was a heavy user of LaTeX in my life before retirement, so I am a fan of WYSIWYM tools). Sincerely, Ralph D. Jeffords P.S. A bit about myself: I was a Research Computer Scientist before I retired, but I'm also a bassoonist and even play the piano a bit (my mother was a piano teacher).

Hi all, consider the following code: \version 2.19.17 mus = \relative c'' { { \voiceOne c r c r } { \voiceTwo r a r a} } \new Staff \clef G_8 \mus \new TabStaff \mus It returns some warnings.

Though, using \new Voice like: mus = \relative c'' { { \voiceOne c r c r } \new Voice { \voiceTwo r a r a} } \new Staff \clef G_8 \mus \new TabStaff \mus ouputs an additional Staff, entering TabVoice would output an additional TabStaff. It's absolut clear to me why this happens, though how to code that Staff _and_ TabStaff behave as wanted? Best would be to have a neutral Bottom-context. Though, I found no way to do it within LilyPond, best I can come up with is: mus = \relative c'' { { \voiceOne c r c r } %\new Voice { \voiceTwo r a r a} #(context-spec-music #{ \voiceTwo r a r a #} 'Bottom foo) } \new Staff \clef G_8 \mus \new TabStaff \mus Is there a better way to do it?
