Homothetia

Karim, is homotetia function available somewhere? or is it part of those custom object not released?

another interesting thing I would like to understand is how to scale trees.
again thanks for your patience.

Dear Giorirgios,

Yes unfortunately hometethia is a custom made function that relies on timebloc objects.
But the principle is very simple :
First I convert all expressed figures of notes into a measure.
THen i can concatenate them as i want.
At last i can substitute n-measures into a new one.

Now the scaling proceedure is the same. It just multiplying the timesignature by a facture and then replacing it.
This is possible even in visual programing (i.e a patch). If you like, i will send soon a patch that does the three elementary arythmetic functions.

Here it is Giorgios,

It is a folder to be imported in a workspace.

Have fun

Ah great. Very kind from you!
The more I dive into OM the more I like it. It’s an incredible tool.

is there a reason for the patches to work only with the first measure?

Yes ,
it is considered as ONE measure = timebloc…
if you have a voice with n-measures, you should split it into : voice2voices -> voice to measures.
And this is the problem with the MEASURE class unresoleved issue.
if you need a function to do so i will send you a patch.

Thanks Karim a patch would be very nice. (I owe you a bottle of italian wine)
I’m getting some results with tree2ratio but I’d like to understand what happens with your scaling procedure.
