Re: Different spacings indifferent staves

[Les Éditions Valmajour - pg]

Hi Andrew

Thanks for your interest! Yes, I'd like to go further in this. The thing is that the solo and piano part are not necessarily corresponding in terms of rhythm; the solo starts to play alone some random rhythms on the written notes, and after a few seconds the piano starts, with the arpeggio, but there is no notion of precise tempo or vertical correspondence of rhythms between the 2 instruments.

That's why I'd like have the solo notes at an equal distance to each other and the piano arpeggio randomly placed on the staves, but of course I can't place it "really" randomly, so lily tries to make everything look right, when I just need the opposite :-)

If there is another way to write this ijn Lilypond, I'm very interested!

Hello Pierre,

Did you want to pursue this? I did not see any good answer on the list but I may have missed it. With all due respect and no criticism intended whatsoever, there are a lot of things wrong or strange about this score. The different staff sizes may be an issue, and I am confused about your use of 7/4 and so on. Is this not a simple case of two 32's against 16's? Also, the repeat barlines mess up spacing, as they have to be accounted for, and the choice of accidental style also gets in the way. If this piece is really as simple as two 32 against 16's, then proportional spacing can be made to work pretty well.

Let me know if this is worth working on and I will help you out. I took some time on it tonight but I need your guidance as to the actual musical structure. Do let me know - I am happy to help.

As a side note, I use proportional notation in all my complex work, but it is never quite right. Somehow lilypond has a hard time doing what we intuitively feel should be simple, even, horizontal spacing. I do not fully understand the reasons for this, but there must be some deep and difficult underlying layout engine problems that can't be solved. Nevertheless, you can get pretty close a lot of the time.

Hello co-listers,

does anyone know if there a way to apply different horizontal spacings to different staves, whithin the same bar?

In the attached example, the stemless notes are 16ths. I would like the stemless notes to be strictly evenly spaced, regardless to what is written in the piano part. I have the feeling that it can be easily set, but I can't figure out how.

Thank you all!

Pierre
