Inputs

Output

Description

The merger takes two Voice s or Measure s and returns a single object of the same type containing them both. It is as if they were played simultaneously and the result transcribed into a single object.

Examples

Merging two rhythms

Here we use two Measure objects to merge two rhythmic patterns into a single element which contains them both. The first Measure is initialized with the rhythm tree:

(4//4 ((1 (1 1 1)) (1 (1 1 1)) (1 (1 1 1)) -1))  

Representing a measure with the following structure:

The second Measure is given the rhythm tree

(4//4 ((1 (1 1 1 1)) (1 (1 1)) 1 -1))  

Representing a measure with the following structure:

The two are passed to merger , the output connected to a Voice object (of which the first input can accept a Measure ). The resulting rhythm, displayed below, is

(1 (((4 4) ((1 ((1 (3 1)) (1 (1 1)) (1 (1 3)))) (1 (1 (1 (1 1)) 1)) (1 (1 1 1)) -1))))
