Re: [TeX-music] Setting different time signatures
Hi Don,
Yes I was going to replace with triplets. In 12/8 time signature was a way
that many composers use to avoid scaring away a performer by having a
movement filled with triplets all over the place. i.e. a dotted crotchet
equals the value of a normal crotchet in common time. So there are 4 dotted
crotchet groups in 12/8 time and 4 crotchets in the common time. All
performers are counting in four it's just the subdivisions are counted
differently.
I've already replied to Olivier's helpful advice but while it does work.. it
only works on the first bar of a piece. The change of time signatures occurs
halfway through the piece.
More importantly I am trying to have a quaver triplet made as one dotted
crotchet.

But just remember that if you do it this way, PMX will not know about the
12/8, so to make the triplets you'll have to do something like c4x3n d e ...

You have to use the command \setmeter. This example shows you how to use
it:
8<--
3 3 4 4 0 6 0 0
1 1 20 0
ttt
./
\\setmeter3{{\meterfrac{12}{8}}}\

[TeX-music] Setting different time signatures
Hello, I can finally send messages again. Thanks to both Christian and Maurizio! Now for my questions: How can I set different display time-signatures. I have 3 staves the top 2 need to be 12/8 time and the 3rd Common time. All three will be set in common time, but the top two will show 12/8. This was a an easy way to set a lot of triplets without writing a lot of triplet figures all over the place. Also is there a way to make a triplet of with just one dotted crotchet: i.e. a triplet of 8 notes put together to make one dotted crotchet. Any help appreciated, Trent ___ TeX-music mailing list TeX-music@icking-music-archive.org http://icking-music-archive.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
