is it possible to get an automatism for smart rhythmic notation.
You can use patterns
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=654
but perhaps it is not what you wished
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\include "extractMusic.ly"
% the following would be fastly written, bad looks bad:
Music= \relative c'' { c16 b8 a g f e d16\bar"||" }
% the following looks good, but would be more work to do
smartlynotatedMusic = \relative c'' { c16 b8 a16 ~ a g8 f16 ~ f e8 d16
\bar"||" }
% the following needs to prepare a pattern only once.
patI = { c8 \samePitch { c16 ~ c}}
patMusic = \relative c''{ c16 \cPI { b a g f e } d16 }
\score {
\new Staff {
\time 3/4
\Music
\break
\smartlynotatedMusic
\break
\patMusic
} }
