Hi,

I want to distribute every second note (with its length) to one voice (instrument) and every first and third note to another voice (instrument)

like in the example.

Is there a way to do this automatically? What I want it to spread a voice to different instruments, preserving the position..

Thanks for help!

edit: I just saw that half of the work could be done with gen-swallow, just need to change every nth length-value into a rest-value (preferably leaving my sublists (bars) untouched)..something like length-to-rest for position instead of size of the length.

(setf stimme1 '((h d4 q a4 g4) (q a4 e4 h f4) (h e4 g4)
              (q f4 e4 d4 cs4) (h d4 q a4 a4)))

(flatten (omn :pitch stimme1))
=> (d4 a4 g4 a4 e4 f4 e4 g4 f4 e4 d4 cs4 d4 a4 a4)

(omn :length stimme1)
=> ((1/2 1/4 1/4) (1/4 1/4 1/2) (1/2 1/2) (1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4) (1/2 1/4 1/4))

(setf sieve '(d4 g4 e4 e4 f4 d4 d4 a4)) ;first, third, fifth pitch and so on 

(setf sieve-rhy 
'((1/2 -1/4 1/4) (-1/4 1/4 -1/2) (1/2 -1/2)
  (1/4 -1/4 1/4 -1/4) (1/2 -1/4 1/4))
;every second length is replaced by rest

(make-omn :length sieve-rhy
          :pitch sieve)
=> (h d4 -q g4 - e4 -h e4 - q f4 - d4 - h d4 -q a4)

(setf sieve2 '(a4 a4 f4 g4 e4 cs4 a4)) ;the other way around

(setf sieve-rhy2 '((-1/2 1/4 -1/4) (1/4 -1/4 1/2)
                   (-1/2 1/2) (-1/4 1/4 -1/4 1/4) (-1/2 1/4 -1/4)))
                   ;the other way around

(make-omn :length sieve-rhy2
          :pitch sieve2)
=> ((-h q a4 -) (q a4 - h f4) (-h g4) (-q e4 - cs4) (-h q a4 -))

Here it is:

(setf stimme1 '((h d4 q a4 g4) (q a4 e4 h f4) (h e4 g4)
                (q f4 e4 d4 cs4) (h d4 q a4 a4)))

(setf pitch (omn :pitch stimme1))

(setf len1
(length-rest-series
 '(2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2)
 '((1/2 1/4 1/4) (1/4 1/4 1/2) (1/2 1/2) (1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4) (1/2 1/4 1/4))))
=> ((1/2 -1/4 1/4) (-1/4 1/4 -1/2) (1/2 -1/2) (1/4 -1/4 1/4 -1/4) (1/2 -1/4 1/4))

(setf len2
(length-rest-series
 '(1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2)
 '((1/2 1/4 1/4) (1/4 1/4 1/2) (1/2 1/2) (1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4) (1/2 1/4 1/4))))
=> ((-1/2 1/4 -1/4) (1/4 -1/4 1/2) (-1/2 1/2) (-1/4 1/4 -1/4 1/4) (-1/2 1/4 -1/4))

(make-omn :length len1
          :pitch (gen-swallow len1 pitch))
=> ((h d4 -q g4) (-q e4 -h) (h e4 -) (q f4 - d4 -) (h d4 -q a4))

(make-omn :length len2
          :pitch (gen-swallow len2 pitch))
=> ((-h q a4 -) (q a4 - h f4) (-h g4) (-q e4 - cs4) (-h q a4 -))

thanks!!
