Thanks, Wol - It took a few tries, but it came out okay. I got fooled by the fact that at *1/10, nothing showed up. Also, unHideNotes \glissando produces a syntax error. Here's what I ended up with:
\hideNotes g''2*3/10 \glissando \unHideNotes c'''2*7/10 Thanks again, Ralph -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Youngman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 9:43 AM To: Palmer, Ralph Subject: RE: Slide, or "glissando" with no start point Exactly the problem I've needed to solve. Use \hideNote \unHideNote. (I'm hoping this will be solved along with the doit/fall stuff - might need a few people to chip in a bit more). \hideNote d'2*1/10 \unHideNote \gliss f2*9/10 will give a slide down from d to f at the top of the bass clef. It's a hidden tenth of a mimim, sliding down to a printed nine-tenths of a minim, so lilypond correctly prints the minim (you might want to play with the fractions to get it how you want).

I'd like to notate a slide up to a note. The time, in the music, would come out of the note following the slide notation. For those familiar with ABC notation, this would be similar to prefixing the note with a "J" in .abc. In this particular piece of music, the previous note is higher than the one being slid to. The only workaround I can figure out would be one involving \oneVoice. Is that my only option? I've searched the documentation, including list archives, and found a sort of related discussion back around 2.5 or 2.6, but it was actually about drops and raises after a note, not before, and there was no resolution I could find. Thanks for your help (someday I hope to be able to offer some), Ralph +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Ralph Palmer Energy/Administrative Coordinator Keene State College Keene, NH 03435-2502 Phone: 603-358-2230 Cell: 603-209-2903 Fax: 603-358-2456 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user * ************************************************************************ * This transmission is intended for the named recipient only.
