Re: [Denemo-devel] Barlines, repeats and voltas

[Éloi Rivard]

Ok thank you for those answers. I will continue my importer then and ignores that the midi played is not what I expect.

What do you think of making barlines (and special endings) some denemo objects instead of lilypond ones. So when we would play the midi, it would just produce the expected sounds without further command ? I saw some old pieces of code in relation.

This is not completely black-and-white however - there is a whole bunch
of hard-coded LilyPond syntax for all the built-ins, and about six or
seven years ago we did have to alter it when they made a big shift from
prefix to postfix for slur markers. But generally we would like to keep
the embedded LilyPond syntax to core things.
