However, I see a very important feature missing in this approach:
An incipit should (at least in my view) be thought of as the
beginning of a piece written in notation that comes close to the
autograph or first publishing. That is, the incipit actually starts
the music. Then, at some point (e.g. after the clef or after the
first note of each voice or after the first few notes), the music is
reset to its start, the notation switches to modern style, and
printing starts again, this time from the very beginning to the very
end.
In particular, as Laura points out, many people want to include one
or more notes in the incipit. More generally, virtually any music
expression could appear in an incipit -- it's just printed in an old-
fashioned style or otherwise coming much closer to the original.
Thus, the ideal behavior of an incipt engraver would be to ordinary
start printing the piece, using (for example) a mensural context and
the info from IncipitClef, IncipitSignature, and
IncipitTimeSignature. Then, when the InciptEngraver has done its
work, the music should rewind back to the very beginning, and
ordinary type setting should start.
A couple of weeks ago, I think I already posted the idea of having a
scheme function, say "\makeIncipit { <music> }", that takes all of
the music as argument and creates from it another music expression
with the incipit. You could then say something like "\makeIncipt
{ <music> } <music>" to create the incipit, followed by the actual
music. However note, that currently it is not possible to implement
such a scheme function for several technical details, such as the
system start delimiter that would also have to be placed *after* the
incipit. Maybe with some more changes at your incipit engraver,
this engraver can be used to actually implement the "\makeIncipit"
scheme function. This is what I thought of when I used the word
"challenging". ;-)
Grr, I just wanted to simply print two different clefs at the
beginning of a score, and now I found myself trying to implement
full featured incipits, damnit!
I have something, based on the instrument name hack, which gives
the following result:
The score looks like:
\score {
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff <<
\set Staff.instrumentName = \markup Toto
\vocalIncipit { \clef "neomensural-c1" c'4 d' e' f' }
\lyricmode { do ré mi fa }
\new Voice = melody {
\clef "treble" c'4 d' e' f'
c'1
}
\lyricsto melody \new Lyrics \lyricmode { do re mi fa }
>>
\new Staff <<
\set Staff.instrumentName = \markup Titi
\incipit { \clef "neomensural-c2" c'4 g c'2 }
{
\clef "alto" c'4 g c'2
c'1
}
>>
\new Staff <<
\set Staff.instrumentName = \markup Tutu
\incipit { \clef "neomensural-c3" c'4 g c'2 }
{
\clef "alto" c'4 g c'2
c'1
}
>>
>>
\layout {
indent = 5\cm
ragged-right = ##t
\context {
\Staff
\remove "Instrument_name_engraver"
\consists "Incipit_engraver"
}
}
}
Is it nearer to people expectations wrt to incipits?
