Re: OT: high-precision tuner app

2016-05-23 Thread Andrew Bernard
Hello Andrew,

Apart from doing engraving scores with lilypond, I am also a harpsichord maker 
(and tuner obviously) and a player. I have decades of experience doing 
professional tuning. Also having a background in maths and computing, I take an 
interest in temperaments, tuning theory, and tuning programs.

There are many tuner programs for Android available. But the ones that let you 
enter and tune custom temperaments only support 12 notes per octave. As far I 
am aware there are no programs that support more notes per octave. Also, in 
relation to accuracy, no phone tuner app is more accurate than 0.1 cent. in 
testing, even that is doubtful, to tell the truth, and you are lucky if a phone 
is accurate to one cent (depressingly). You cannot find a program that is 
accurate to 0.01 cents as you require. One reason for this is that phones do 
not have particularly accurate ADC/DAC chips. The other reason is that the ear 
simply cannot hear a hundredth of a cent difference, even when comparing two 
notes in a just intonation and listening for beats and so on. There are many 
papers in psychoacoustics that have established this.

It seems to me that what you actually want is a high precision frequency meter 
instead. There are tools like this for computers, but you are unlikely to find 
that sort of laboratory accuracy application for a mere phone.

If you have a Mac you could look at:

http://www.faberacoustical.com/apps/mac/electroacoustics_toolbox/

Or  could use this for accurate frequency measurement:

http://www.baudline.com/index.html

Other than that, better write your own app. I am sure there are a lot of just 
intonation folks who need such a tool.

Andrew

I’m not sure what you’re talking about: Frescobaldi doesn’t add things 
to the LilyPond code you see. And LilyPond does what you tell it to do. 
So a time signature is only present where you put a \time command.


The following code adds a “C” time signature to the end but only because 
it tells LilyPond to do so:


\version "2.18.2"
{
  b1
  \time 4/4
}

Are you sure you mean “time signature” and not f. e. “bar line”? If so, 
why don’t you want the bar line?


If this doesn’t help please show your code that produces the problem you 
describe (preferrably a tiny example: 
http://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html).

I'm sorry but this description doesn't seem to make much sense to me. In
order to get assistance (which you will most likely get from this list)
you should provide us with
- a minimal working code example
- maybe an image of the result (attached, not inline)
- a description what on that page isn't correct in your opinion

This will give us the chance to see what is going wrong.

Welcome to the group!

I'm pretty sure it isn't Frescobaldi that's doing it, but either way, if
you could attach (either inline or as a separate file) a minimal working
code sample that shows this problem, we'd be happy to help.

Best,
Abraham

P.S. Trimming your code down to a "minimal working sample" may help you
find the answer without our help, FYI.

Even more concise:

Well, as soon as polyphonic happens it will produce strange output, see:

mus = {

\tuplet 3/2 { a'8 b c }

Indeed.
860 was one of my early codings, far too complicated thinking.
Actually it redefines parts of `ly:tuplet-bracket::calc-direction' ...
Otoh, it is aware of kneed-beams, sort of.

Though, it has the same problem as mentioned above and I'm not sure
how to avoid it.

Mi Mats,

Take a look at PitchLab, which already has a long list of built-in
historical temperaments and lets you specify your own (see also
http://polettipiano.com/wordpress/?page_id=1029).

that app only seems to allow me to pre-set a temperament with 12 distinct
pitches to the octave. I'm using a system of scales with over 180 distinct
pitches (and which is theoretically unlimited; I just chose to stop there).

Re: Typesetting a Bach Ornament; Sarabande, French Suite 5

2016-05-23 Thread Andrew Bernard
Hi Simon,

You yourself mention Henle’s critical apparatus is poor. Henle is not well 
regarded in terms of scholarly excellence. And their editions  are full of 
mistakes. Their so called ‘urtext’ editions are far from it, and as for 
providing piano fingering for Bach harpsichord works, it leaves me dumbfounded. 
[One of the nice things about their new app is that you can _remove_ the 
fingerings – something I suppose the publishers did not think was a benefit, 
but it is!] And furthermore, the engraving is nowhere near as good as Lilypond!

Re BWV 815, I am going with Bach’s own MS, not Henle. The several other copies 
by various copyists may have additional marks, but that’s not what Bach wrote 
in this case.

Listening in to [1], I think it has been added by the editor to indicate that 
the ornament should start on the auxiliary, the note above the written note, as 
was done in the Baroque period. It sounds it is played as an ordinary Baroque 
trill (my dictionary says the pralltriller was introduced later by C.P.E. Bach).

Certainly it hasn’t been overlooked, and there is a way to do it. Only 
noone yet felt like looking for it, or had time.

Hi Andrew,

I think you’re being a bit too rash here. The Henle ‘Urtext’ edition I 
have here also has the appoggiatura, written as in Harm’s second 
version, and although the Critical Report is laughable in that it 
doesn’t even list the sources used I’m sure there is a source from 
Bach’s environment that has the ornament, and it’s likely too easy to 
just say ‘the autograph is what Bach definitely intended’.

Sorry I can’t say more, maybe I’ll have a look at the NBA at the library.

Best, Simon
