Renaissance 4/2 time signature

2015-12-04 Thread Andrew Bernard 
Greetings All,

My first foray into setting a Renaissance keyboard piece into modern notation. 
This is a keyboard piece by Claudio Merulo, published 1592. So it’s not 
mensural notation, but early Renaissance. In my option this piece is in 4/2 and 
I want to set it as such, and I want to retain the cut c time signature used by 
the original printer. That’s not a mensural time signature, so how does one do 
that in lilypond?

Image attached.

Andrew

HI Malte,

Thank you. Works just fine. And bar checks in their proper places also work.

Ahh, welcome to the wouderful world of early music, and don't

That looks much like white mensural notation with slurs and bars added.
It couldn't be early "renaissance", I guess you ment early barock.

I found your source as:
 Canzoni d'Intavolatura d'Organo, a quattro voci, fatte alla francese, Book 1 
(1592)

  \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = #'(2 . 2)
  \time 4/2
