Custos when starting psalm tone on a new line #26

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Steven and I weren't able to figure out if this was possible in Gregorio before:

When a psalm tone starts on a new line, the custos on the previous line is 
ideally left out. Any thoughts?

I put in a block custos command before the (z) and (Z).  I'm wondering if I 
should simply always throw this in between the antiphon and the psalm tone 
though, so that if the psalm tone naturally starts at the next system, no Z or 
z will have to be put in.

This is fantastic, Benjamin.

Steven - Could you confirm if we want this:

Does this mean that when you put a (z) in the middle of an antiphon to edit the 
horizontal alignment by hand, there will be no custos? That shouldn't be the 
case, of course.

I think you will only get a psalm tone on a new line if:
a) you use a (Z) at the end of the antiphon. This is the only time you will use 
(Z), so blocking custos before (Z) looks okay
b) the antiphon ends on the right end of a staff, and the psalm tone is started 
automatically on a new line. There may no (Z) or (z) before the psalm tone. Is 
this handled as well? Or should you use (z) at the end of the antiphon here? I 
think it's best to use (Z) instead.

If I'm right, blocking custos before (Z) should be sufficient.

This may indeed handle the situation described under b) above.
