<h3 class="unnumberedsec">Arabic improvisation</h3>
<p>For improvisations or <em>taqasim</em> which are
temporarily free, the time signature can be omitted and
<code>\cadenzaOn</code> can be used. Adjusting the accidental style
might be required, since the absence of bar lines will cause the
accidental to be marked only once. Here is an example of what
could be the start of a <em>hijaz</em> improvisation:
<pre class="verbatim">
\include "arabic.ly"
\relative sol' {
\key re \kurd
#(set-accidental-style 'forget)
\cadenzaOn
sol4 sol sol sol fad mib sol1 fad8 mib re4. r8 mib1 fad sol
}
</pre>

<h3 class="unnumberedsec">Makam</h3>
<p>Makam is a type of melody from Turkey using 1/9th-tone
microtonal alterations. Consult the initialization file
<code>makam-init.ly</code> (see the `Learning Manual 2.11.57,
4.6.3 Other sources of information' for the location of this file)
for details of pitch names and alterations.
<pre class="verbatim">
