Re: polymetric help

[Andrea La Rose]

Dear Phil,

Thanks for your reply.

I used that exact code that you pasted, minus everything after the
comment because I copied and pasted it into my own document.

(aside: If this helps, I'm trying to put these eight parts into one
score: http://reloadsanear.com/composition/putrefaction.html)

First I put it at the end, because for some reason I was under the
impression that \layout goes after \score. When I did this, the
program said it had a problem with \Score, which only appeared in the
\layout section.

Basically, when I cut and pasted that code into my document, the
program couldn't produce any notation.

Then I tried the second way as I described in my OP, and I got
notation, but everything was off and the only error message I got was
the many declarations of "I am not spanned!"

Is that clearer?

Now I'm trying to parse Ole's reply (thanks! I've been writing an
email full of more questions...) and yours and I think I'm getting
closer. It seems I have some confusion about the order of operations,
as it were. Ole's example "breaks" a lot of the "rules," which is
adding to my confusion.

I'm happy to attach my file, but it's not short and I don't blame
anyone for not wanting to parse it.

Thanks again for your help!

I'll keep plugging away and keep you posted...

cheers,
andrea
