Dear list,
I’m working on a bilingual edition of Telemann’s Singe-, Spiel- und
General-Baß-Übungen, a very nice little tutorial consisting almost entirely of
songs with a figured bass line and a written-out realization.
In the bass lines Telemann sometimes adds short straight lines parallel with
the note heads, a sort of straight slur, indicating that the right hand should
not play chords except on he first on these “slurred” notes. See the attached
Telemann's_Strich.png
Apparently this has also been used by other composers though I have not seen
any examples. I also do not know if there is an official name for it.
Nor have I found such a line among LilyPond ’s grobs.
For a quick fix I have used tweaked slurs with \override Slur.ratio = #0.0 and
in essence this works quite well except that, though straight, they still are
slurs with tapered ends.
Does any of you know of a better solution?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
