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
