Tied rests in select-tree

Hi All,

When a rhythm tree contains “tied rests” they are selected by select-tree as if they were “notes”, even when not specified in the “places” index.

Perhaps there is a simple work-around to convert tied-rests to “normal” rests in a rhythm tree in advance?

Thanks,
Fergal!

Hi Fergal,

Although it is a strange musical concept to tie two rests, there is a workaround here: Use reducetree (from Functions->Score->Trees menu)

Hi Karim,

Thanks for your reply. I tried to reproduce your workaround but am having the same issue, and now reduce-tree seems to behaving unexpectedly.

This is because your rests are deep in a list. Use instead absolute-props. This will be added to the next upcoming 6.21 version.

Here is the patchcode to put in init:
absolute-props.lisp (898 Bytes)

Hope this will fix your tied rests.

That works perfectly.

Thanks very much,
