Re: Polyrythmic Align Bars

[Lukas-Fabian Moser]

Hi,

The 4/4-Bar needs to be played over the duration of the two 6/8-Bars and I want it to realign afterwards to continue both voices with a 6/8 time.

The 4/4-Part would need to have a different tempo, because if both play at the same tempo, they won’t align.

It is probably harder to write this down than to actually play it, but this should be the easiest way to notate this without using tons of tuplets.

Something like this?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.19.83"

 

\layout {

  \context {

    \Score

    \remove "Timing_translator"

    \remove "Default_bar_line_engraver"

  }

  \context {

    \Staff

    \consists "Timing_translator"

    \consists "Default_bar_line_engraver"

  }

}

 

\relative c'' <<

  \new Staff {

      \time 4/4
      \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 12/8)
      \scaleDurations 12/8 {
