tuplets and :name

[Rob Canning]

hi,

re: bars 2, 3 and four in part two of the below example
what do i have to do to have 6 tuplet quavers rather than the way it is now with 5 tuplet quavers and then the subsequent and previous durations being drawn in to one big tuplet? (it will make sense when you look at it :)

also, part 1 :name "soprano" :abbrev "sop." : isn't causing the text soprano and sop. to be written to the output file?

thanks

rob

Try adding this line:

init :max-tuplet-dur 2

It seems like this setting always needs to be tweaked--I'll have to come
up with a rule that makes better guesses when it comes to appropriate
tuplet sizes--maybe a :preferred-tuplet-size setting is appropriate--I
think you shouldn't have to set a hard maximum to get the tuplets to
work right. I'll come up with a solution in the next release, this
max-tuplet-dur tweaking has been bothering me for a while

I haven't had a chance to look at the textnote issue yet (I should have
time this weekend...), but I think it's because of the carriage returns
in the input file:

(note 2 :off 0 :dur 0.333333 :notes (63) :marks (:staccato :F (:textnote"(3
1)")));


Should be an easy fix, I'll put in a replace-CRs-with-spaces function

RE: name & abbrev not appearing, I'll fix this by next release, not sure
when/why this stopped working--this is a bug in one of the backends
(maybe some file format has changed)--I'll commit all of these changes
to the dev branch as I fix them

v0.2.22
Fixed instrument names and abbreviations in LilyPond 2.10
Remove newlines from notetexts, etc..
Auto set timesig COMP slot to t for appropriate time signatures
(6/8, etc.)
Fix for textnotes in LilyPond (Kilian)
Changed maximum tuplet size to more reasonable number

TODO (soon, when I get the chance...)
better tuplet decisions
finish testing so-called chunks (which will let you use different
settings for different parts, sections, etc..)
