Greetings, The "up bow" and "down bow" symbols are used when notating plucked string instruments played with a plectrum. For rasgueados, I have not seen them used. Typically, rasgueados are notated with an arpeggio line, using an up arrowhead at the top to indicate a down strum (from lowest sounding to highest sounding strings) or an arrowhead at the bottom for upstroke.
I don't know how to do this in lilypond however... Anyone else? David Stocker www.thenotesetter.com 4048 Fox Rest Ter.

Nelson Sent: Monday, March 03, 2008 8:40 PM To: lilypond-user@gnu.org Subject: Flamenco/Rasgueado and Lilypond Hi all. I did a Google and an Archives search on how to notate rasgueado with lilypond, and the instructions there said to use an arpeggio. I've since discovered on Wikipedia that the up bow/down bow notation used for violins can be used for up strokes/down strokes for plucked string instruments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_musical_symbols (search for "up bow" in the above link) Anyway, I think that's a better way of indicating things, so I thought I'd send it to the list, and it would appear in the archives for future searchers, so they don't have to re-notate everything like I will :). I'd also welcome responses to this; while I don't hang out on the lilypond lists any more, I did a few years ago, and the notational knowledge of some of the people here was amazing to me :). :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Name: Tim Nelson | Because the Creator is, | | E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | I am | --------------------------------------------------------------------- ----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK---- Version 3.12 GCS d+++ s+: a- C++$ U+++$ P+++$ L+++ E- W+ N+ w--- V- PE(+) Y+>++ PGP->+++ R(+) !tv b++ DI++++ D G+ e++>++++ h! y- -----END GEEK CODE BLOCK----- _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
