About reading of a PDF file (basso continuo).

• Aug 7, 2017 - 04:16

I enjoy the making of score mainly on Early Music.
I use it about the experimental service including the reading of the PDF file usefully.
There are many cases where the number of the basso continuo is converted to the tuplet if you read the score of the basso continuo.
In that case, the total value in the bar is not often right.

I add a postscript to it newly after deleting all the note in the bar as the editing of tuplet keeping a value is difficult and revise it.
This thinks that it is "a specification", but is in trouble as Sextuplet, Quartuplet come out everywhere.

If there is good end run, please instruct it and would like something.

Basse Continuo or Figured Bass is defining chord position (inversions):

Bold notes is bass, underlined notes is target.

For Triads: (examples on C chord.)
3 5 (or blank) is root position. 3=c -> e, 5 = c -> g
6 (or 3 6) is first inversion. 6 = e -> c6
4 6 is second inversion. 4=g -> c; 6 = g -> e6

Sevenths: (examples on C7 chord.)
7 (3,5,7) = root position. 7=c -> Bb.
5, 6 (3,5,6) = 1st inversion. 5= e -> Bb; 6 =e -> c.
3, 4 (3,4,6) = 2nd inversion. 3=g ->Bb; 4= g -> c.
2 (2,4) (2,4,6) = 3rd inversion. 2 = Bb -> c.

I know the meaning of the numbers of basso continuo.
It is a problem by import from PDF File provided as a function of Musescore to MSCZ File.

When converting a PDF file including basso continuo to Musescore's MSCZ File, a problem occurs.

For example
"6" of basso continuo is changed to sextolet.
And "4" is converted into 4 groups of notes.

It means that the continuous bass with the number is not recognized definitely.
I want to know this workaround.

Thank you!
