Ok. I had already read that section last night. I just read it again to make sure. I am either blind or the answer to my question is not there.
It says in the manual: "A crescendo mark is started with \< and terminated with \! or an absolute dynamic. A decrescendo is started with \> and is also terminated with \! or an absolute dynamic. \cr and \decr may be used instead of \< and \>." I am new to Lilypond, so there must be some other detail I do not know about. But if I have no second note to attach the termination to, how do I do it? > -----Original Message----- > From: Graham Percival [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2007 2:47 PM > To: Dewdman42 > Cc: lilypond-user@gnu.org > Subject: Re: Decrescendo on last note?? > > Dewdman42 wrote: > > I can't figure out how to get a decrescendo hairpin on the > last note of a > > staff?
