\chordmode vs. \figuremode #13

Closed th-we closed 7 years ago

th-we commented 7 years ago

What should be the logic for distinguishing what <harm> elements belong to \chordmode and which ones belong to \figuremode?

I think the guidelines and sample set are quite clear that for figured bass, <fb> markup inside <harm> should be used. Therefore I'd use \figuremode for everything with <fb> and \chordmode on everything else.

It has to be kept in mind that both \chordmode and \figuremode might be required in parallel.

I left it out, because <harm> for itself is totally unstructured (unlike in MusicXML). So there is no straight way to convert those to lilypond's \chordmode. Instead for converting <harm> without <fb> we should use given @startid and treat it as simple \markup (similar to <dir>).

For a more structured approach in MEI you should open a bug over there.
