1. Can I use the same tweak at several points in time? Or do I have to
add and \editionMod every time.
In a recent list post (by Urs, I think) I saw an \editionModList command
to do this.
2. What do the letters mean in edition.Staff.A?
A numbering? How can I know which voice is which?
Can I test that (like \displayEngraverNameHere)?
3. How can I address a temporary voice in some measure?
a) One with << · \\ · >>?
b) One with << · \new Voice { · } >>?
4. What does the word 'edition' after the \editionEngraver mean?
Can I choose this name? Why would I need more than one?
5. Can I put tweaks with the edition engraver?
Like coloring the second of three note heads in a chord?
{ <c \tweak #'color #red e g> }
And more style-guide like:
6. Would you consider \voiceOne etc. content or layout? \noBeam?
\tempo? \bar? I.e. would you enter it in the musical content
or via the edition engraver?
I’d phrase it this way: everything that is decided by the
composer/arranger is content, everything that is decided by the
typesetter/editor is presentation. Where exactly the border is to be
drawn, depends. But for the examples you gave, I’m pretty sure they
belong to the content.
7. Would you write a Dynamics context using spacer rests or entirely
using the edition engraver? { s1\p | s | s\ff … } or { s1*55 } and
the rest is done by the edition engraver? Is that possible at all?
8. And unrelated to the edition engraver: What do you prefer:
a8\noBeam a16 a or a8 a16[ a] ?
Well, I’d say they’re completely synonymous, so it’s up to your likings.
Yours, Simon
