Technically we can print this with {tidygm}, because we just concatenate bars into lines, but it's clunky.
library(gm)
m <- Music() +
# add a 4/4 time signature
Meter(4, 4) +
# add a musical line of a C5 whole note
Line(pitches = list("C5", "C5", "C5"), durations = list("h","w", "h"))
show(m, to = c("score", "audio"))
I think we need our own special note to signify the pitch is to be held, it might already have a name in music theory.
For instance durations for both bars here would be list("h", "h"), but notes would be list("C5", "C5") and list("~", "C5").
It would then be changed into the right {gm} syntax by summing the appropriate durations and removing the "~".
We need also to control that a bar contains no more than what makes sense, by summing the durations.
Some pitches continue on next bar.
