Splitting a single staff over multiple lines

Post by Neal » Fri May 17, 2019 1:32 pm

Hello from a new Bach user!
I'm working on a generative score, with music displayed via [bach.score] for a single musician to read. I'd like the staff to break onto multiple lines -- so that it looks like sheet music to the player. Is there a setting so that [bach.score] displays one voice wrapped onto multiple lines (i.e. not the same as multiple voices on parallel staves)?
Thank you!
Neal

No, unfortunately there's no "page view" in bach.score nor bach.roll, currently.
You can however split "manually" the score into multiple systems. If you want 3 systems, you need 3 bach.score, kept in sync, and you can use the #inscreenmeas command to display specific measures in each of the systems.
Not ideal, but may be ok for some situations.

You can also change the displayed portion of score via the #domain, #inscreen and #inscreenpos messages.)

Hi Daniele,
Many thanks. I thought this might be the strategy, and it will work fine for my current project. It's good to have the confirmation before implementing it!
