Re: Dodgy dotted notes

2007-11-16 Thread Ossie Wilson
I am using Version 2.8.6 on Windows 98.
Clementi Sonata op.7 no.3 has some bars with dotted quaver followed by demi-
semi-quavers and then other notes which can give bar lengths varying from the 
time sig by 1 to 2 demi-semi-quavers. Manual typesetting can handle this but 
LP ends up with bar-creep.
Any suggestions how to print the notes in the correct places and still end up 
with no bar-creep.

Thanks in advance

I take it that you mean that there are too many notes in the measure. You
can either use \times to create a tuplet and then hide it with 

\once \override TupletNumber 'transparent = ##t

or scale the durations with something like 

a4. b16*2/3 c16*2/3 b16*2/3

where the three 16ths will equal an 8th note.

See the manual, chapters on Scaling durations and Tuplets.
