Hi guys,

Why would this notate but not play?

'((s f5 ffff t e4 = = = = s f4 pp t f3 >)
  (t f3 > t f4 > t f4 > e f3 > trem) 
  (e g2 ff s f5 ppp s g6 sfz stacc f3 mp))

 

it creates the score without any problems but will not play back...

thank you!

I have done that to.

Look in the lstener and it says:

Error: Attempt to diminuendo from pp to ff.

That makes sense.

Try this:

(setf piano-rh '((s f5 ffff t e4 = = = = s f4 pp t f3 <)   ; pp <
                 (t f3 < t f4 < t f4 < e f3 < trem)        ; < ff
                 (e g2 ff s f5 ppp s g6 sfz stacc f3 mp)))

 

The expression is correct and I don't see any error in notation or audition.

(setf piano-rh '((s f5 ffff t e4 = = = = s f4 pp t f3 <)
                 (t f3 < t f4 < t f4 < e f3 < trem)
                 (e g2 ff s f5 ppp s g6 sfz stacc f3 mp)))

 

You could test the expression with midi-display.

Test: 1. Addition the expression (snippet). 2. Notation snippet. 3. Choose 'Last Score-> Play' from the Tools menu or  ⌃⌥⌘P as for this:

'((s f5 ffff t e4 = = = = s f4 pp t f3 >)
  (t f3 > t f4 > t f4 > e f3 > trem) 
  (e g2 ff s f5 ppp s g6 sfz stacc f3 mp))

 

Attempt to diminuendo from pp to ff make no sense. The composer need to take care of that, naturally 

Try this:

'((s f5 ffff t e4 = = = = s f4 pp t f3 >)
  (t f3 > t f4 > t f4 > e f3 ppp trem) 
  (e g2 ff s f5 ppp s g6 sfz stacc f3 mp))

 

Thank you guys, yes it was the diminuendo to ff!!!

I am still not used to visually parsing the note events so I missed that. Must look at the listener more often!  :)

much appreciated!!!

Try this:

(setf piano-rh '( (s f5 ffff t e4 = = = = s f4 pp  t f3 <) ; pp <
  (t f3 < t f4 < t f4 < e f3 < trem)                                ; < ff
  ( e g2 ff s f5 ppp  s g6 sfz stacc  f3 mp) ))

Just tried to help. I meant that the error message is a good hint. It makes sense.

 

In this expression we have crescendo from pp to ff - grammar wise the OMN is correct, therefore there should be no error and I don'e see any.

(setf piano-rh '((s f5 ffff t e4 = = = = s f4 pp t f3 <)
                 (t f3 < t f4 < t f4 < e f3 < trem)
                 (e g2 ff s f5 ppp s g6 sfz stacc f3 mp)))

 

I have no idea where the error is coming form as we do not have any diminuendos (>) in the expression above.
Is it possible you evaluate some other expression?

Janusz,

There is no error. I am sorry for messing up things for you.

Try the code in the first post. I just corrected that one.
