Hello, all --
Just in case you haven't stumbled across this one, I seem to have
found a nice way of controlling the end of hairpins without
instantiating extra voices... [Haven't found any negative side-
effects yet, but if you can see one, please warn me!]
For example, David Sanders wrote:
One of the most annoying things I found when transcribing music
was the necessity of entering hairpins on single notes
with the very clumsy notation of the type
<< {c1} {s4 \< s s s \!} >>
I was wondering if someone has written a scheme function
or whatever to make this kind of thing simpler?
I've (just) discovered that the following works nicely:
c1*15/16\> s1*1/16\!
In other words, you use a note value to generate the "displayed
note", then use a factor to shorten the note's "internal length", and
add an invisible (skipped) "remainder" to anchor the end of the hairpin!
Here's a sample with the same sequence of notes but two different
hairpin lengths:
\version "2.8.1"
\relative c'
{
\dynamicUp
c1*15/16\> s1*1/16\! d4 e f g \break
c1*1/3\> s1*2/3\! d4 e f g \break
}
Of course, you'll have to experiment yourself with exact lengths, but
this sure beats all the << { insert spacing crud here } \\ { notes }
>> I used to do... =)
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
