Using tags to produce mensural and modern music from the same source
By using tags, it’s possible to use the same music to produce both
mensural and modern music. In this snippet, a function menrest
is introduced, allowing mensural rests to be pitched as in the
original, but with modern rests in the standard staff position. Tags
are used to produce different types of bar line at the end of the
music, but tags can also be used where other differences are needed:
for example using “whole measure rests” (R1, R\breve etc.) in
modern music, but normal rests (r1, r\breve, etc.) in the mensural
version. Note that converting mensural music to its modern equivalent
is usually referred to as transcription.
