Timing_engraver
Responsible for synchronizing timing information from staves. Normally in Score . In order to create polyrhythmic music, this engraver should be removed from Score and placed in Staff .
Properties (read)
currentBarNumber (integer)
- Contains the current barnumber. This property is incremented at
every barline.
measurePosition (moment)
- How much
of the current measure (measured in whole notes) have we had. This
can be set manually to create incomplete measures (anacrusis, upbeat),
the start of the music.
measureLength (moment)
- Length of one
measure in the current time signature last?
oneBeat (moment)
- How long does one beat in the current time signature last?
timing (boolean)
- Keep administration of measure length, position, bar number, etc?
Switch off for cadenzas.
skipBars (boolean)
- Set to true to
skip the empty bars that are produced by multimeasure notes and rests.
These bars will not appear on the printed output. If not set (the
default) multimeasure notes and rests expand into their full length,
printing the appropriate number of empty bars so that synchronization
with other voices is preserved.

r1 r1*3 R1*3 \\property Score.skipBars= ##t r1*3 R1*3
@end lilypond
defaultBarType (string)
- Sets the default type of bar line. Available bar types: [FIXME];
This variable is typically read at Score level, so overriding
Staff.defaultBarType will have no effect.
barAlways (boolean)
- If set to true a bar line is drawn after each note.
whichBar (string)
- This property is read to determine what type of barline to create.
Example:
\property Staff.whichBar = "|:"
This will create a start-repeat bar in this staff only.
If not set explicitly (by property or bar ), this is set
according to values of defaultBarType , barAlways ,
barNonAuto and measurePosition .
Valid values are described in (lilypond-internals)bar-line-interface.
.
barNonAuto (boolean)
- If set to true then bar lines will not be printed
automatically; they must be explicitly created with
bar
keywords. Unlike with the cadenza keyword, measures are
still counted. Bar generation will resume according to that
count if this property is set to zero.
timeSignatureFraction (pair of numbers)
-
pair of numbers, signifying the time signature. For example #'(4 . 4) is a 4/4time signature.
