[Rob Canning]

hi,

this may be me doing something wrong but...
bar 3 in the second part why has the long tied note got a triplet over it

also.. this may be my poor musicianship but... in 6/8 shouldn't it be
two tied dotted crotchets or a dotted minum rather than a tied crotchet
and a minum?

thanks
rob

[David Psenicka]

Rob,

I think you want :comp set to t in the time signature:

TIMESIG :OFF 0 :TIME (6 8) :COMP t

Then it should give you the dotted notes (fomus also interprets 1 beat =
dotted quarter like it should). I'll make this the default behavior for
any time signature divisible by three (like anyone would expect :) )

In the output (after I changed it to comp = t) I saw a funny beam or two
(I keep running into this issue)--another small bug to fix.

Thanks again,

-David

hi,
this may be me doing something wrong but...
bar 3 in the second part why has the long tied note got a triplet over it
also.. this may be my poor musicianship but... in 6/8 shouldn't it be
two tied dotted crotchets or a dotted minum rather than a tied
crotchet and a minum?
thanks
