Re: Jianpu Notation

[MING TSANG]

Paul,

Thank you for the update to jianpu5.ly.

 I just spotted \time 3/4 or 4/4, jianpu display " 6 - ." , I think it should be "6 - -".   Please refer to .png

Technically it is ok- the . represent 1/2 of "6 -" which is three beats.

"6 - -" also depict three beats -- I saw all jianpu use this notation.

When you have time please update this. Thank you for your time and patience.  

Immanuel,

Ming Tsang.

Good catch.  I see now that the octave dots in Jianpu are not based on the absolute octave of the note but are relative to the current key / key signature.  In other words, the Jianpu octave increases between 7 and 1, and not between b and c. 

Attached is a new version jianpu5.ly that gets the octave dots right.  Let me know if you see anything else that’s not correct.

I have also changed the name of the custom staff context to JianpuStaff to match the other staff contexts in LilyPond.  (Although I have a slight preference for having it the other way around, consistency is good.)

Thanks for your appreciation!
