Re: Where is the latest articulate.ly?

I continue to get very odd results with articulate.ly.

Please study the relevant section in NR
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/the-articulate-script
There you can read
"After altering your input file this way, the visual output is heavily
altered, but the standard \midi block will produce a better MIDI file.
"
Thus it's good practise to use two scores, one with \layout only
another with \midi only

Got it.

Here’s a zip file
with the problem.

It's quite tedious to have a zip file, better attach the code in one file.

Please do ‘lilypond test.ly’ with articulate.ly available
to be included.

The problem looks like it’s generating 2 voices instead of one. One voice is
all rests. It’s not due to the ‘global’ voice I have, because I removed that
and the problem remains.

1) The notes and rests are much more than should fit in the bar, and
2) they don’t make any sense to read, and

see above

Got it.

3) The midi sounds just like it did before articulate.ly

try:

\include "articulate.ly"

#(define ac:normalFactor '(1 . 2))

So, the default is 7/8 (though I’m not sure yet what 1 . 2 is…) but I wondered about 7/8. CPE Bach says normally notes are play for 1/2 their duration, so 7/8 is not detectable I think.

Anyway, that did it. Apparently you’ve had to write this to many others as well…

I doubt 7/8 is correct for anything except perhaps organ…

Anyway, thanks a lot, Harm.
