Hi, Thanks for that Mats. As an aside, I have a sequence of (something like):
\notes { \time 4/4 a1 \< \! R1*4 <etc...> } This throws an error because the \! attaches to the following note, which is a multi-measure rest in this case! If I insert an "s4" before the R, would this throw out my time sequencing, and therefore, generate a bar check error on the R1*4? \notes { \time 4/4 a1 \< \! s4 R1*4 <etc...> } In this situation, I guess that I would have to revert to something like the following , and also for situations where I don't want the cresc/dim to extend to the next bar. \notes { \time 4/4 <{a1} {s4 \< s s \! s}> R1*4 <etc...> } It's a shame that the \< does not attach to the following note and the \! attach to the previous instead of the inverse as at present. I guess there are syntactic reasons why this is not the case. In any case, <{} {}> does provide some interesting options for spacing and insertion of multiple dynamic marks under single notes, which I will experiment with...

In this particular example, it's maybe easier and better to do a1 \< \! s4 but if you want both crescendo and diminuendo below the same note, I'm afraid you have to do this solution with a separate of line of silent notes to attach them to. /Mats Ralph Little wrote: > Hi all, > I having some trouble with crescs and dims. > How can I attach a cresc or dim. to a single note? > > I have tried something along the lines of > > \notes { > \time 4/4 > <{a1} {s4 \< s s \! s}> > } > > ...or something like that (sorry if syntax is wrong!) > > But the spacing does not seem very nice.
