I used the first snippet posted by Simon for an Arrastres function. Then I noticed Davids post for afterGrace so I tried my hand at that.
Both work but I have a few questions. In the first posted by simon I did it my typical way. And it works like all my other functions. Typically I use modified lily functions like bendAfter (one of my favorite to use). In all cases I can't figure out how to add the command in the function. So although it works it could be better. Here is the code %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.18.2" Arrastres = #(define-music-function (parser location len mus note) (number? ly:music? ly:music?) #{ \afterGrace $mus { \once \override Flag.stroke-style = #"grace" \once \override NoteHead.extra-spacing-width = #`(,len . 1) s1*0 \stemUp $note } #}) mus = \relative c' { \time 2/4 \key g \major \stemDown dis16 fis dis b c a g \Arrastres #-3 fis \glissando c'8| <a c>2 } \score { \mus } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% My question is where do I add \glissando in the function so I don't have to write it everytime. The second modified from the snippet posted by David afterGrace works great and I even got it so i don't need \glissando. But again I have questions. Here is the code %%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.18.2" Fraction = #(cons 6 8) Arrastres = #(define-music-function (parser location len main grace) (number? ly:music? ly:music?) (_i "Create @var{grace} note(s) after a @var{main} music _expression_.") (let ((main-length (ly:music-length main)) (fraction (ly:parser-lookup parser 'Fraction))) (make-simultaneous-music (list main (make-sequential-music (list (make-music 'SkipMusic 'duration (ly:make-duration 0 len (* (ly:moment-main-numerator main-length) (car fraction)) (* (ly:moment-main-denominator main-length) (cdr fraction)))) #{ \once \override Flag.stroke-style = #"grace" #} (make-music 'GraceMusic 'element grace))) #{ \glissando #})))) \relative c' {c \Arrastres #6 c e8 e} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% well where to begin... first why is Fraction = #(cons 6 8) and not Fraction = #(cons 1 1) or 2 2 etc. 6 8 seams rather small. Is it so in some cases there is not to much space? second 'duration (ly:make-duration 0 len was set 0 0 ... again why. I assume the first number is notes occupied? and the second distance. Why 0 on the second. and isn't this just a recap of Fraction = #(cons 6 8)? or is one gliss length and the other note distance (both having the same effect -- so make one 0 )-- i assume. Thanks Stephen
