Assembled Wisdom!
I am transcribing some Bach choruses for
string quartet, and I wish to use the
orthography of the Bach Gesellschaft, as
given in the Dover scores that I have.
To explain my problem, I ask you to first
look at the following extract from one of
my parts:
(start)--------------------------
\version "2.16.0"
global = {
\key d \minor
\time 3/4
}
% Here is a "hemiola"
|ees4 d c | c4. d8 bes4. | a8 a4. g8 | g2 r4 |
^
------------------------(finish)
The '^' marks the dot on the dotted Bb that I wish
to move into the next bar. The part compiles just
fine; but that measure, and many others like it,
confuse the player.
Of course I could tie over the bes4 into a bes8 in
the next measure, but I thought it would be nice to
transcribe just as the Bach Gesellschaft has it.
I am sure that Lilypond has provision for such a
treatment of the hemiola, but I can't find it in
the documentation. Any help would be gratefully
received!
