From 5e7ba357ed642cad2e07f53d8c27d96128fe7dab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trevor Daniels Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2014 12:42:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Issue 4075: Doc: Correct the instrumentTransposition setting in NR 2.1.6 The value of instrumentTransposition affects the MIDI pitch. As all the notes in this example are entered at the correct sounding pitch no instrument transposition is required. Previously Kaspar sounded an octave too low. --- Documentation/notation/vocal.itely | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/notation/vocal.itely b/Documentation/notation/vocal.itely index 2a3f89d7ec..912378ab08 100644 --- a/Documentation/notation/vocal.itely +++ b/Documentation/notation/vocal.itely @@ -2575,11 +2575,13 @@ c c c Alternatively, if there are many character changes, it may be easier to set up @qq{instrument} definitions for each character at the top level so that @code{\instrumentSwitch} can be used to -indicate each change. +indicate each change.
