I wanted to jump in here because in this discussion, a lot of people have said or implied things like (paraphrasing) "top to bottom in << // // // >> should correspond top to bottom in the score", and suggesting naming conventions based on this. These thoughts, while well-intentioned, are bad

Maybe I'm misunderstanding mclaren's example, but the graphic he posted has a number of notational errors. To wit: in the third voice, if the meter is 11/8, then an 11:9 tuplet will not fill the bar, as it will only cover 9 eighth-notes. Perhaps he meant 9:11, in which case the meter needs to

Hi mclaren, aaah, now I see what you wanted to achieve. Same problem here: different blocks got messed up. It should look like this: % - #(set-default-paper-size "a4" 'landscape) \paper { indent=0 } \layout {

Hi mclaren, your second issue is easy to solve: - Don't put the /\paper/ block into a /\layout/ block. - The /indent/ statement must be inside the /\paper/ block. - /set-default-paper-size/ must be before that block. I you don't want the time signatures outside the staves, it's much easier to

I'm no Lilypond expert, so could be I'm just doing something wrong. Don't want to call it a bug if it's a case of user error. Anyway, this is a dead-simple polyrhythm. Nothing special here, just 4 simultaneous different meters working at once in the duration of the same barlength. The
