Re: Maxima...

[Bockett Hunter]

The r\maxima is documented in paragraph 1.2.2 of the Notation Guide.  It works for me, see below.

It is, of course, not right in perfect mode, with three breves to the long,

in which case each long rest should fill three spaces.

  \score {

    \relative c'' {

      \set Score.timing = ##f

      \set Score.defaultBarType = "empty"

      \override NoteHead #'style = #'neomensural

      \override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'neomensural

      \clef "petrucci-g"

        g1.  g2 \[ a\breve  g\breve c\breve b\longa \]

        g1.  g2 \[ a\breve  g\breve d'\breve c\longa \]

          \break

        g1.  g2 \[ g'\breve e\breve c\breve b\breve a\longa.\]

r\maxima

        f'1. f2 \[ e\breve  c\breve d\breve c\maxima \]

    }

  \layout {

    \context {

     \Voice

      \remove Ligature_bracket_engraver

      \consists Mensural_ligature_engraver

      }

    }

  }

Hi, all.

In the project I'm working on, I've hit a need for a maxima (hooray!).
Okay, it is -real- music, more pedagogic, but what the heck! It's a
maxima!

However, oddly (to me), the standard noteheads support a maxima rest,
but not a maxima note. To get the notes, I need to slip into the
Baroque, and there is some oblique reference to this in the
documentation.

Personally, I'm not sure why this is so. Any thoughts?
