slashes and figures and time
musify gives you a way of displaying figured notation too. It isn't perfect, but you might find it neater and closer aligned to normal script. Back to our progression again:
figured notation
You can state the voicing using this notation: {{outer interval@inner interval}}
Type G{{5@3}} | C{{6@4}}
G{{5@3}} | C{{6@4}}
For Roman figured, just replace the notes with Roman numerals. Note that musify leaves anything it does not understand, so you can enter text within the paragraph too.
Type in C[maj.]: V{{5@3}} | I{{6@4}}
in C[maj.]: V{{5@3}} | I{{6@4}}
Sometimes the figure is sub-scripted: this is possible too. The method: [-stuff you want to sub-script-].
Type in C[maj.]: VII[-{{6@$5}}-] | I[-{{6@4}}-]
in C[maj.]: VII[-{{6@$5}}-] | I[-{{6@4}}-]
slash chords
This is similar but with one change: {{top bit//bottom bit}}
Type {{7@4}} {{G//d£}} | {{12@8}} {{C//c#}}
{{7@4}} {{G//d£}} | {{12@8}} {{C//c#}}
time
The short-hand for figures above also gives you a rudimentary way of denoting a time signature:
Type {{7@4}} G | {{12@8}} C
{{7@4}} G | {{12@8}} C
However, if you are writing for text browsers it is better to use a visible slash so that the numbers are separated.
Type {{7//4}} G | {{12//8}} C
{{7//4}} G | {{12//8}} C
If the numbers don't align properly in the font you choose, it is likely that you will need to make small changes to the margin-right property for the timden
class in musify.css.
A simile mark or single bar repeat sign is made using the percent symbol (%)
Type Am | % | Bm | %
Am | % | Bm | %
ties and other symbols
musify can produce two ties, and an ellipsis to simulate a dotted tie. This allows you to represent macro analysis in a functional way.
A overhead tie: ==
Type G==C
G==C
A under-hanging tie: --
Type G--C
G--C
A dotted tie: ...
Type G...C
G...C

Set theory
In set theory, wide-angle brackets are sometimes used for ordered pitch classes. You can get these by using <|...|>
Type <|0, 3, 2|>
<|0, 3, 2|>
