Re: GDP: addition for Rhythms?

[Palmer, Ralph]

It may not be pertinent to this particular discussion, but there's another kind 
of "real" polymetric music : where there is a regular alternation between 
different times (e.g., 3/8 - 7/8, or maybe even 5/8 - 3/4 ; in Hindustani 
classical music, there's an 11 beat tal that's counted 2 2 2 2 1.5 1.5).

There are two kinds of polymetric music AFAIK: "real" polymetric
pieces, where the timeSignature are always different between parts,
and "false" polymetric pieces, where such a method is just used
temporarily, as a special effect, for a more or less short section.

As Mats pointed out, adding bar numbers in a polymetric piece of the
first kind would be somehow pointless. In a piece of the second kind,
you may use a function such as:

However, if have a snippet to propose to make this whole thing more
self-explanatory, it could be great :)

Cheers,
Valentin

That sounds like en excellent example of when you want to use positions, 
right?

Hi,


The following code generates the markups but not the brackets. 
Is there some way to get brackets printed when they are attached to spaces? 

many thanks,

-- eliot


\version "2.10.33"

\header { title = "Brackets don't work with spaces" }

A = {
  \time 4/4
  \clef treble
  s2\startGroup^\markup { \column { 1 } } 
  s2\stopGroup^\markup { \column { 2 } } 
  \bar "|."
}

\score {
  << 
    \new Staff << \A >>
  >>
  
\layout {
    \context {
  \Staff \consists "Horizontal_bracket_engraver"
}
    
  }
}
