Robin,

Thank you so much, that works perfectly!

It gets closer when you add the line

  \set completionUnit = #(ly:make-moment 1 8)

If this needs further improvement, try to understand what
completionUnit and completionFactor do.  [I haven't ...]

Hi Simon,

That's very close to what I need! The only time it doesn't work is when the
note doesn't wind up crossing a bar line: If I'm in 4/4 and write "c8*5" on
the downbeat, I get something that looks like an eighth note instead of a
half tied to an eighth. Is there a way to force that expansion, or should I
look into Abjad as Nathan suggested?

Many thanks,
Brin

Just write your durations like
{ c8*17 }
and the Completion_heads_engraver will handle them fine.

Hey all,

I'm working on an algorithmic piece where all the rhythmic durations
are an integer number of eighth notes long. I'm using
Completion_heads_engraver to handle the bar lines, but I'm running
into trouble when I need to write notes that are five eighth notes
long. Is there a way to send an arbitrary rhythmic value (i.e. one
that can't be described with the 8, 4, 4., etc system) to the
Completion_heads_engraver, or do I need to enter all the "half note
plus an eighth" rhythmic values by hand without automatic note
splitting?


hi brin,

i'd say that's kinda outside the scope of lilypond, although you could 
probably put it together with scheme magic. instead, you should check 
out abjad (http://abjad.mbrsi.org/), which is perfect for that kind of 
thing.
