2023-04-21 Thread Victor Eijkhout
I’m trying to notate 1200-ish School of Notre Dame modal notation, and the Gregorian notation works out reasonably well. 1. I’m not finding a symbol for a “plica”: single note with ascending or descending tail on both sides. Does that exist? 2. More seriously: if I don’t include a Lyrics line,

I'm writing a piece in 14/16, and that's not 7/8: it's counted 4+3+3+4 sixteenths. 1. Is there a way to make beaming automatically to 4-3-3-4? 2. If I have a whole measure rest, I find that \times 14/16 {R1} gives a nice simple notation. Now I want a note that is held for a whole measure look

Meaning, not lyrics, but the notes. Suppose I want to shrink a whole score by a few percent so that it takes one page less? Or in piano + solo instrument, it's customary to print the solo slightly smaller in the score. How do I do that? Victor.
