quantize notelengths without ties

[chrislos]

Dear all,

thanks so much for your awesome project. It opens a really new world in max.

I've a question according quantization options.
I'm currently try to implement a cage markov based markov prediciton for rhythms.

Is it possible to read and quantize midi sequences WITHOUT tied notes and only use punctated notelengths instead?
Otherwise I can't distinguish between the correct amount of notes because I would always need a t-flag.

Thanks in advance,
Christian

Hi Christian, I am not sure I fully understand; in bach.score, there's a @maxdots attribute handling how many dots you may have at most, but then again, not all music figures can be written simply with dots – and then there are all the @syncopation... attributes handling how syncopations should be transcribed. And if the tie is across the measure barline there's no way you can put a dot to that...

Long story short, if you need to have the full length of tied sequences, there's a simpler way: I strongly advise you to use [bach.beatunbox] which has specific options for that. Have a look at its help file!

Does this make sense?
