Re: Analysis brackets

Many thanks for this. I need to experiment a little to see if I can fit the
brackets into a rather congested setting.
With best wishes, MT

Dear David,
Many thanks for this. I was curious about the curly analysis brackets when
I saw this in Snippets http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Search?q=curly but
couldn't figure out how (or if) these
shapes could be used for what I wanted. The only application I could find
was to group an
ensemble within a larger instrumental contingent.
With best wishes
Michael

Analysis brackets

2020-04-07 Thread Michael Taylor
Dear collective wisdom, in transcribing analytical markings I encountered a
curly horizontal bracket over a number of pitches. Is it possible to format
the existing analysis bracket to reproduce this, or are there other
solutions? Would it be possible in a future version to have the option of
placing text within analysis brackets as well as the default above? MT

No, the arrow modifications are the only departures from standard notation.

Re: Pitch inflection

2018-01-31 Thread Michael Taylor
Thank you for your message. I am hoping to reproduce the arrow notation used by 
the composer,
rather than substituting a different notational convention (which this composer 
has employed in other pieces).
The fact that he implies a difference between a slightly lowered F & a slightly 
raised E makes me think that he
is seeking to inflect the note rather than achieving an identifiable 
quartertone. Thank you also for alerting me to the
resources you mentioned which I had not found.

One can use Helmholtz-Ellis notation in E53 using OpenLilyLib, SMuFL, and 
Graham Breed's regular.ly <http://regular.ly/>.

Pitch inflection

2018-01-29 Thread Michael Taylor
I am transcribing sketches in which small pitch adjustments are notated
using up & down arrows. As my aim is to reproduce the composer's notation
as closely as possible I don't want to substitute quarter-tone symbols. Is
there a simple way to insert arrows in place of accidentals? Playback is
not an issue.
