Improve the MIDI output #202

Open Niols opened 1 year ago

Niols commented 1 year ago

I'm working on this at the moment. In particular:

Chords less loud, in particular beats 2 and 4, in particular in jig time
Swing, especially in jig time.

Play around with articulate and swing.

I tried:

It does not seem to have an effect but maybe in conjunction with Articulate. I should print the output and see what happens.

Couldn't get Articulate to do much and all it did was crap. Swing is quite promising, though, at least in jig time (but I think it's pretty nice in reel time as well). For a jig with a partial of one 8th note:

\applySwingWithOffset 8 #'(4 2 3) #(ly:make-moment 2 8)

does wonders imo! Edit: evidence: evidence.zip.

For a reel starting on the beat:

\applySwing 8 #'(4 3) {

is nice (but probably not necessary).
