Sorry I missed the 24 hours objection deadline...
I followed the interesting (and long) discussion about proposals for
a new text (de)cresc syntax, because I was interested in it (actually
I really don't like the current syntax).
But then there was a quite long "calm period" and I understood that you
would be waiting for the GLISS...
I'm not a programmer but if I understand well Reinhold's proposal this
new \cresc command would be to text cresc *with spanners*, right?
(the equivalent to the current \crescTextCresc c2\< )
I would have preferred to have cresc *without spanners* as default
behaviour for the \cresc (and so \dim) command.
There are a few reason of this, the main one being that it's like that
I'm already redefining the \cresc command for now ;D
cresc = #(make-dynamic-script
(markup #:line (#:left-align
#:normal-text
#:italic "cresc.")))
But I see other reasons why \cresc should be used for the one without
extender line:
– cresc without spanners is far most common in the scores I have
(and in the ones I write);
– the behaviour of the previous \cresc command was without spanners;
– from what I remember from the previous discussion, it was said that
\cresc , \dim , \decresc , ... would produce text (de)cresc without
spanners by default. And for that with spanners a syntax like
\<"cresc. poco a poco" would be used.
But I think something like \crescTextSpan "cresc. poco a poco"
should be fine too as a syntax (and for custom cresc text witout
span we could use \crescText "cresc. blabla" for example).
In every case the command should be inserted *after* the note, as
everybody agreed I think (and as Reihold's proposal).
I hate these commands that requires to place something before the note!
Thanks for your work and sorry for the "bit-late" awakening.
Cheers,
Xavier
