Hello, Rick: I try to keep as much as possible OUT of the notes list Me, too! I've been thinking of using the new \parallelMusic feature as a replacement mechanism, e.g., %% CODE BEGINS \parallelMusic #'(notes dynamics) { g'4 g' g' g' | s1\f | g'4 g' g' g'

As a matter of practice, I put the dynamics directly in the note code, even though my philosophical preference is to separate notes from interpretation as much as possible. I'm not sure why--maybe to keep down the number of independent music parts, I guess. > In any case, I'm happy to be shown whe

dynamics: integrated or separate variable?

2006-04-10 Thread Kieren Richard MacMillan
Hey, all! Just wanted to take an informal survey... How many 'Ponders put their dynamics directly in the "note code", e.g., notes = { a\pp b } and why? How many 'Ponders use a separate dynamics variable, e.g., notes = { a b } dynamics = { \pp } << \notes \dynamics >> and why? How many
