All,
Thanks very much for all the suggestions. I had asked for an easy way! Also,
I'm not 100% fussed about the exact layout as it's only for an example.
So I'm afraid that David's and Urs's solutions are overkill.
Rutger's seems good, - I hadn't realised you could use a repeatTie without a
repeat! But I want th laisserVibrer tie to match the length of the bar. I tried
changing its length using
{ c''1~ 1~ 1~ 1~ 1~
\once \override Voice.LaissezVibrerTieColumn.X-extent = #'( 0.0 . 50.0 )
1\laissezVibrer }
}
but this doesn't seem to have any effect on the length of the tie. Instead it
changes the amount of room after the tie, which is exactly what I don't want. I
also tried
\override Voice.LaissezVibrerTie.X-extent = #'(0.0 . 50.0 )
with the same result. Any ideas on how to do this?
Ben's is the easiest, but ties the markup to the music. Not a great problem in
my case, as I can split the music where I want it first and add the text later.
Best regards,
Peter
