I am working on a new omn symbol VOICES and wonder which way is more natural to write. I would like to hear your comments and ideas on this. Here are the two examples. With symbol :vx 1) Each voice after each event, next to each other (1 bar 4/4): symbol option :vx (:v1 q cs5 ff :v2 q gs4 ff :v3 q f4 ff :v4 q f3 ff :v1 q eb5 ff :v2 q gs4 ff :v3 q c4 ff :v4 q gs3 ff :v1 q cs5 ff :v2 q gs4 ff :v3 q f4 ff :v4 q cs3 ff :v1 q f5 ff :v2 q cs5 ff :v3 q gs4 ff :v4 q cs3 ff) symbol option :x (:1 q cs5 ff :2 q gs4 ff :3 q f4 ff :4 q f3 ff :1 q eb5 ff :2 q gs4 ff :3 q c4 ff :4 q gs3 ff :1 q cs5 ff :2 q gs4 ff :3 q f4 ff :4 q cs3 ff :1 q f5 ff :2 q cs5 ff :3 q gs4 ff :4 q cs3 ff) 2) Each voice in a separate bar (1 bar 4/4): symbol option :vx (:v1 (q bb4 ff g4 gs4 e g4 f4) :v2 (q cs5 ff b4 gs4 fs4) :v3 (q f4 ff bb3 gs3 e bb3 gs3) :v3 (q d3 ff e eb3 d3 q c3 bb2)) symbol option :x (:1 (q e4 ff h f4 q c5) :2 (e fs4 ff gs4 bb4 gs4 q fs4 f4) :3 (s g3 ff gs3 q bb3 s gs3 g3 q gs3 f4) :4 (q c3 ff h f2 q f3)) The symbol option :1 :2 :3 :4 (:1 (q e4 ff h f4 q c5) :2 (e fs4 ff gs4 bb4 gs4 q fs4 f4) :3 (s g3 ff gs3 q bb3 s gs3 g3 q gs3 f4) :4 (q c3 ff h f2 q f3)) will print in the Listener: (:|1| (q e4 ff h f4 q c5) :|2| (e fs4 ff gs4 bb4 gs4 q fs4 f4) :|3| (s g3 ff gs3 q bb3 s gs3 g3 q gs3 f4) :|4| (q c3 ff h f2 q f3)) I personally think the second option is better to control. Best wishes, JP

Hi everyone, this one should be pretty simple but I can't seem to figure it out yet. I am trying to notate this (see attachment) first bar in OM. So far I have this: (h e3c4g4e5 f3f4a4d5 z^q g4 f4 h g3d4b4 c3c4e4c5 ) Which doesn't work yet, although it's close. Additionally, I would love to use the same figured bass notation (with the brackets and everything). I know how to use the text attribute for Instruments but it seems to map everything based on white-space between the text, maybe I'm missing something? Thanks! - Jor

Hi, here are the two functions i use daily in my workflow. The first gen-pitch-line can be used as this but is also required for the second function svoice1. svoice1 is a generic omn generator i find useful for my work. ;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ;;; GEN-PITCH-LINE ;;; Fonction de génération de hauteurs basées sur une conversion de vecteur de bruit ;;; avec un grand choix de type de bruit, taux de compression du vecteur, filtrage des répétitions et ambitus.
