Re: Solving espressivo problem

[Lukas-Fabian Moser]

Here’s one approach:

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.25.11"

esp = \markup \lower #1 \scale #'(1.375 . 1) \musicglyph #"scripts.espr"

stuff = \relative {
    \time 4/4
      r4 b'4 a2-\tweak self-alignment-X #-1.25 _\esp ~
      a2 b4 4(
      c1)-\tweak self-alignment-X #-0.5 _\esp
      b2-\tweak self-alignment-X #-1.125 _\esp d2
      c1-\tweak self-alignment-X #-0.5 _\esp
     \bar "|"
}

\score {
    <<
        \new Staff
        \stuff
    >>
}%
%%  SNIPPET ENDS

Or equivalently, saving some keystrokes:

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.25.9"

esp = _\markup \lower #1 \scale #'(1.375 . 1) \musicglyph #"scripts.espr"

shift = \tweak self-alignment-X \etc

stuff = \relative {
   \time 4/4
     r4 b'4 a2\shift -1.25 \esp ~
     a2 b4 4(
     c1)\shift -0.5 \esp
     b2\shift -1.125 \esp d2
     c1\shift -0.5 \esp
    \bar "|"
}

\score {
   <<
       \new Staff
       \stuff
   >>
}%
%%  SNIPPET ENDS
