Quoting another voice: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 19:06, 10 December 2025

The quotedEventTypes context property determines which music event types should be quoted. The default value is (note-event rest-event tie-event beam-event tuplet-span-event), which means that only notes, rests, ties, beams, and tuplets of a quoted voice appear in the \quoteDuring expression.

In the following example, a 16th rest is not quoted since rest-event is not in the redefined value of quotedEventTypes.

For a list of event types, consult the “Music classes” section of the Internals Reference.

\version "2.24"

quoteMe = \relative c' {
  fis4 r16 a8.-> b4\ff c
}
\addQuote quoteMe \quoteMe

original = \relative c'' {
  c8 d s2
  \once \override NoteColumn.ignore-collision = ##t
  es8 gis8
}

<<
  \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "quoteMe" }
  \quoteMe

  \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "orig" }
  \original

  \new Staff \with {
    instrumentName = "orig+quote"
    quotedEventTypes = #'(note-event articulation-event)
