(2) have a style option for verovio such as <code>--mensural-dots center|left</code> to chose a particular sytle if others prefer centered dots.</p> <hr /> <p>Example in mensural music can be found on the Tasso in Music Project work pages such as:</p> <p><a rel="noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.tassomusic.org/work/?id=Trm0048a">https://www.tassomusic.org/work/?id=Trm0048a</a></p> <img width="1067" alt="Screenshot 2024-01-21 at 11 58 42" src="https://github.com/humdrum-tools/verovio-humdrum-viewer/assets/3487289/09682c68-ecba-4a8e-83be-8eb2320734da"> <p>Click on the "m" button in the notation toolbar to display music in mensural form.</p> <p>Centering the dots in the score view causes some confusing in readability, particularly at small sizes where the dot and rests are too similar to each other. Ofsetting the dot from where a rest would be placed helps with this readability problem.</p> </div> </div> <div class="page-bar-simple"> </div> <div class="footer"> <ul class="body"> <li>© <script> document.write(new Date().getFullYear()) </script> Githubissues.</li> <li>Githubissues is a development platform for aggregating issues.</li> </ul> </div> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jquery@3.5.1/dist/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="/githubissues/assets/js.js"></script> <script src="/githubissues/assets/markdown.js"></script> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/highlightjs/cdn-release@11.4.0/build/highlight.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/highlightjs/cdn-release@11.4.0/build/languages/go.min.js"></script> <script> hljs.highlightAll(); </script> </body> </html>
