this is my EWQLSO rules file. It also uses a custom expressionlist.tpk, the same as my rock setup.
So, the setup is as follows:
Whenever you see a KS, it's the KS master patch, and when I say DXF, choose your favorite DXF patch.
Midi port A:
1: PFL KS
2: PFL DXF
3: SFL KS
4: 3FL KS
5: 3FL DXF
6: SOB KS
7: 3OB Ks
8: 3OB DXF
9: SCL KS
10: 3CL KS
11: 3CL DXF
12: BSN KS
13: BSN DXF
14: SFH KS
15: 6FH KS
16: 6FH DXF
port B:
1: STP KS
2: 2TP KS
3: 2TP DXF
4: STB KS
5: 4TB KS
6: 4TB DXF
7: STU KS
8: STU DXF
9: 18V KS
10: 18VDXF
11: 11V KS
12: 11V DXF
13: VAS KS
14: VAS DXF
15: VCS KS
16: VCS DXF
port c:
1:CBS KS
2: CBS DXF
3:SVL KS
4: SVL DXF
5: SVA KS
6: SVA DXF
7: SVC KS
8: SVC DXF
9: SCB KS
10: SCB DXF
11: Harp pluck
12: all cymbals
13: All gongs
14: 3 snares
15: Timp hits LR
16: Bass drum concert
D:
1: Steinway master lite from EW pianos, not much to do here
Usage:
there are some custom expressions that apply to all instruments:
Repetition and End repetition, legato and end legato, portamento and end portamento turn on or off the respective switches in play. In te included expressionlist.tpk legato and portamento might be missing. They should be added as mlen and mlef and mpon and mpof.
Two more very important global expressions:
DXF: Switches to the dxf version of the instrument, it's a note expression, so it only applies to the note it's on. As you can see hairpin-cc is set to 1, so the hairpin directly affects the DXF instrument, allowing easy creation of swells right in the score without any midi editing.
division: There is divi. and unis. One switches to the solo instrument the other back to the section. This way you can create divisions inside 1 staff without having to split the staffs and having to create a third one for the section for division's sake. So instead of having 4 staves as Flute1, flute2, flute3 and 3 flutes. you can have one called flute and control division by these expressions. There is a limit to this of course, as you only have 1 patch loaded, but ultiple wouldn't fit into the 4 midi ports anyway and would be pretty hard on ram and cpu as well for me. And the limitation is just that you can't play the same note on 2 flutes, but it wouldn't be a good idea anyway due to phasing problems. Also, there is no division for strings. I wish I could do that, but even though there are smaller sections for each, they don't have a master KS patch with all the articulations I'd need, so I decided against it.
I'm not going into details specific to each instrument, they can easily be figured out from the rules file. But slurs do legato, espressivo and qleg are also two global expressions that switch on or off, then there is lyrical for those instruments that have it. These also mix, so using espressivo then placing some slurred notes uses the exp-leg patch, while using qleg then slurs uses qlegato. Basicly all the articulations are accessible that are in the master KS patches.
As I said the expressionlist.tpk might be missing some expressions as I changed them around when I did my realguitar setup and might have removed some in the process.
And again, overwriting the expressionlist.tpk is only advisable if you really know what you are doing and you can accept killing your Notion installation (and even then, make sure you backup the original one!). If either of these don't apply to you, don't do it. Also if you change your expressionlist, know that Notion overwrites it with each update. I wish it was calculated into Notion's philosophy as user editable as it's the most powerful tool we have.
And there are some choir rules on D 13-16. Basicly it just allows you to use slurs to hold the syllable. I was only able to do it, so the sylable is held over to the next note after the slur.
And then there are the soft-pedal, pedal and staccato rules for EWQL Pianos.
(Funny that .prules extension is not allowed by the forum engine, so I had to zip it
)
