2.2.154 Timing_translator
This engraver adds the alias Timing to its containing context.
Responsible for synchronizing timing information from staves. Normally in
Score. In order to create polyrhythmic music, this engraver should be
removed from Score and placed in Staff.
Music types accepted:
alternative-event, bar-check-event, bar-event, fine-event and partial-event
Properties (read)
alternativeNumberingStyle(symbol)The scheme and style for numbering bars in repeat alternatives. If not set (the default), bar numbers continue through alternatives. Can be set to
numbersto reset the bar number at each alternative, or set tonumbers-with-lettersto reset and also include letter suffixes.baseMoment(positive moment with no grace part)Smallest unit of time that will stand on its own as a subdivided section.
currentBarNumber(integer)Contains the current bar number. This property is incremented at every bar line.
internalBarNumber(integer)Contains the current bar number. This property is used for internal timekeeping, among others by the
Accidental_engraver.measureLength(positive moment with no grace part)Length of one measure in the current time signature.
measurePosition(moment)How much of the current measure have we had. This can be set manually to create incomplete measures.
timeSignatureFraction(positive, finite fraction, as pair)A pair of numbers, signifying the time signature. For example,
'(4 . 4)is a 4/4 time signature.
Properties (write)
alternativeNumber(non-negative, exact integer)When set, the index of the current
\alternativeelement, starting from one. Not set outside of alternatives. Note the distinction from volta number: an alternative may pertain to multiple volte.baseMoment(positive moment with no grace part)Smallest unit of time that will stand on its own as a subdivided section.
currentBarNumber(integer)Contains the current bar number. This property is incremented at every bar line.
internalBarNumber(integer)Contains the current bar number. This property is used for internal timekeeping, among others by the
Accidental_engraver.measureLength(positive moment with no grace part)Length of one measure in the current time signature.
measurePosition(moment)How much of the current measure have we had. This can be set manually to create incomplete measures.
measureStartNow(boolean)True at the beginning of a measure.
timeSignatureFraction(positive, finite fraction, as pair)A pair of numbers, signifying the time signature. For example,
'(4 . 4)is a 4/4 time signature.
Timing_translator is part of the following context(s) in \layout: ChordGridScore, Score, StandaloneRhythmScore and VaticanaScore;
in \midi: ChordGridScore and Score.
