Re: changing rhythmic representation to align 8ths with 4ths

Hey, thanks for the response, yes, \scaleDurations did the trick! I never had to use it before, so I didn't even know of it's existence. That's probably a problem for many, certainly with specific and rare situations, even finding the right terminology to describe the problem is sometimes hard to

Hi Bart, I'm not sure exactly which part of your example you want to be different, but perhaps you need to scale the durations somehow, to make 8ths seem like 4ths or vice versa? There is some info on how to do that here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/writing-rhythms#scaling

Hi Bart, But this results in a situation where the 8ths are not lined up as 4ths, which is what I need. Anyone here who knows how it might be done? Maybe something like this? \version "2.23.0" music = \relative c' {c'4 c c c } musicTwo = \relative c' {c'8 c c c } \score {   <<     \new St

Hello all, Working on writing down a renaissance piece, tablature combined with regular notation, I'm stumbling on the rhythm issue. For example, I have this piece where I've written everything in 2/8, to get the correct rhythmic representation in my renaissance tablature, but I want the modern n
