[Csnd] Bandpass and notch through lowpass and highpass (parameter questions)

Subject[Csnd] Bandpass and notch through lowpass and highpass (parameter questions)
Hey hey,
my understanding is, that both bandpass and bandreject or notch filters can be 
created by lowpass and highpass filtering a signal in series or in parallel, 
respectively.

My question: how is the q parameter for the resulting filter adjusted? Is it 
the distance of cutoff frequencies or a change in q-values for the two filters 
or a combination thereof?

If the answer can widely vary, I'm most interested in the answer as would 
apply to a typical analogue statevariable filter model, as found on a 
Steiner-Parker filter or in Csound the zdf_2pole or statevar. Alas, my code 
reading skills are insufficient for an unassisted explanation.

Best wishes and thanks for any help,

Jeanette

I guess it depends on the filter, but for resonant lp and hp, the Q value generally is to do with the resonance region, so it would not set the bandwidth of a combined filter,
but the separation of the cutoff freqs will.

What the Q of the individual filters would change is the resonance peaks at the edge of the pass/stop band.
