Hi all Using 2.18.2, I'm having problems with a long tempo bumping into another tempo marking a couple of bars later. I'm transcribing music for brass bands, so I tend to put the timing structure in a variable so it can be used for other instruments easily. So something like *this*:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.18.2" timing = { \tempo \markup { \column { "Moderato Con" "Dolore e Fuoco" } } 4=94 s1*2 \tempo "accel." s1 \bar "|." } eflatMusic = \relative c { \markLengthOn <f c>1->\ff ~ | <f c>\> ~ | <f c>8\p r8 r4 r2 } \score { \new Staff { << \timing { \clef "treble_8" \eflatMusic } >> } } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% works well, producing [image: Inline images 2] However, when I try and make the decrescendo start half-way through the bar, I get *this*: [image: Inline images 3] Here's how I'm making the decrescendo start halfway through: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% eflatMusic = \relative c { \markLengthOn <f c>1->\ff ~ | << { <f c>\> ~ | <f c>8 } \new Voice { s2 s\> s8\p } >> r8 r4 r2 } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% but I get the same effect if I put the dynamics in a separate variable and add a \new Dynamics into the score. It just seems weird that adding in an extra voice destroys the effect of \markLengthOn. Any ideas? Dave -- Stop the Madness.
