Subject: Octave shifts in polyphonic setting
Hi,
When entering a piece of music with some one-, some two- and some
three-voiced bars, quite often notes in previous bars go up or down an
octave, when entering new bars.
Restoring this from the first bars affected by adding or deleting
apostrophes or comma's, sometimes lead again to side effects. Rather
frustrating...
Is there a way to prevent this?
regards, Jogchum Reitsma
% There is no problem with using relative mode, per se.
% You just need to have an explicit \relative for every voice.
% So, instead of something like this,
% where you have to adjust the octaves at the start of each segment
\relative c'' {
c1
<<
{ c8 d e f g2 }
{ g,4 b2. }
{ e,8 d c d d2 }
>>
c'1
}
% You would use something like this,
% Where each segment is specified, and doesn't interfere what comes after.
\relative c'' {
c1
<<
\relative c'' { c8 d e f g2 }
\relative c'' { g4 b2. }
\relative c' { e8 d c d d2 }
>>
c1
}
