Questions on plotting expression indications

[Lucas H.]

Hello everyone!

I have three questions about the coding of the Bartók piano piece below:

1. How can I link dynamics indications with expression indications? (e. g. bars 4 and 14: p poco caproccioso; bar 11: poco forte).

2. How can I plot expression instructions between the two staves? (e. g. bar 18: cresc.)

3. How can I plot the fingering in the left hand under the notes?

Thanks for the help!

Lucas

Hi Lucas,

I have three questions about the coding of the Bartók piano piece below:
1. How can I link dynamics indications with expression indications? (e. g. bars 4 and 14: p poco caproccioso; bar 11: poco forte).

Placed a layout parameter before the dynamic with this contents:

!LO:DY:t=%s poco capriccioso

The %s characters will be replaced with the data contents (p).

 

2. How can I plot expression instructions between the two staves? (e. g. bar 18: cresc.)

https://verovio.humdrum.org?t=KiprZXJuCSoqa2Vybgo9MQk9MQohCSFMTzpUWDpjOnQ9bWlkZGxlCjFDQwkxY2MKPQk9CiotCSotCg==

(1) Place the text in the top staff spine.  

(2) Add the "c" parameter which means center between this staff and the next one lower in the score

Global text (!!LO:TX) cannot be centered between staves (I could make an exception for two-staff scores).

However in this case you should instead encode "cresc." as **dynam data (using "<" for a crescendo).

The text mapping for < can be changed if needed (more common for decresc./dim. cases):

 

3. How can I plot the fingering in the left hand under the notes?

Add the tandem interpretation *below to display fingerings below the staff (or *above to move back above):

4. You can add a breath mark to the score with a comma on the note/rest before the mark:

    

5. Placement of the 3 fingering is incorrect, but it is not possible to adjust this yet (it should go below the text by default):

Here is the adjusted file:

To add an indent on the first system, give an empty instrument name: *I"

(to one or both **kern spines).

I am attaching the Humdrum file as MIME encoded text since pasting into Google mail has a bug that messes up the tab characters (your post had tabs in the text so I did not have problems extracting it to edit).

You can copy-and-paste the above text into the VHV text editor: https://verovio.humdrum.org

To see the original Humdrum score, click on the File->MIME Decode option:

I notice you are using expanded tab display, which is good for editing in VHV.  It will be best to compress the tabs after editing the score, since the original Humdrum Toolkit commands are not aware of expanded-tab encoding (this is what I do).  Alternatively you can remember to collapse doubled tabs when inputting into the original Humdrum Toolkit commands.   On the command line:

cat input.krn | tr -s '\t' | census 

The -s option will "squeeze" multiple tabs into a single tab.

The humlib tool "tabber" can add tabs back to the expanded mode on the command line (and is also used in VHV for the tab expansion button).
