Seeing as I've made enough of a fuss about other things ...
I've seen somebody else ask about modern "tram-line" caesurae, and
I want things like a free-format gliss ...
What sort of price am I looking at to sponsor these - I guess it's
just a new character in a font?
Basically the four things I can think of at the moment are
1) tram-line caesurae
Basically, the straight version of the tram-line we have now? I can
add those for free with any of the following features.
Yes please. Seeing as this is a modern caesura, I would suggest you
alter the definition of the gregorian caesura to override the modern,
and make the modern available by default. That way, it won't break any
existing scores, but will give new scores the modern version by default.
2/3) straight-line and zigzag glisses WITHOUT a terminating note
You could make a gliss to a transparent note.
But I can also add it as feature. Price: 130 EUR.
Ummm. Thinking about it, I'm not sure... I looked up hidden notes in
the manual, and I'm not still not sure how to do it. Hidden notes have
a duration, and what happens if I'm in 2/4 and want to gliss down a
minim...
Bear in mind also, it's jazz, and I'm a trombonist. What if I want to
gliss *slowly* UP TO a minim? That's going to be a nightmare
notation!!! I need my minim right-justified in the "note space" and
the gliss occupies the minim-width.
You had a problem with terminating one-note crescendi etc. I thought
you had zero-length notes and then I tried it - it doesn't work :-)
Can I suggest you fix both that problem and mine by making 0 a valid
note length that also suppresses the note from printing. Then I can
gliss from/to a zero length note, and your cresc/descresc can
terminate on a zero note :-)
Plus I need to be able to flag a note as right-justified so I can
gliss to it :-)
At this point I agree that I don't know how to do it either. So now we
need more money to get these features. Any more people willing to
contribute?
