Hello! I need some help with AMK.
With the l-command, you can set the default length for all following notes, but you can't specify the length as exact ticks as far as I know, only as fractions of a whole note. With that way to specify length, there are some tick counts you simply can't achieve because of math. l11 results in 17 ticks, and l10 results in 19 ticks.
For notes (and rests and ties), you can apparently type "c=18" to get a c with a duration of exactly 18 ticks. Can I do something similar with the l command?
I've tried the following but nothing works:
l=18
l$12
l11^192
It seems it only accepts an integer between 1 and 192, and it's always interpreted as fraction of a whole note.
The only convenient workaround I've found is to assign some character to a tick-count, like this:
"_==18"
And then add that character at the end of every note, like this:
o5c_ e_ g_ ^_ r_
Is there a better way?
