Was just playing around with cues, and got it mostly figured out (thanks to the great documentation). But I'm stuck on one point --
In the bit pasted below my signature, if I were writing this by hand, I would add a \laissezVibrer tie to the last note of the cue, but omit the note at the other end of the tie. But I need a real tie in the part that really "owns" the notes. For fun, I tried taking out the tie and putting \laissezVibrer inside the cue. Lilypond doesn't draw the LV in the \cueDuring section. So, even if I do something like this -- sheng = \relative c'' { \cueDuring #"eQuintCue" #UP { R1 } d16 a d e a4 r2 } \addQuote "eQuintCue" { \relative c'' { r2 \times 4/5 { d8 a d e a \laissezVibrer } } } % These notes will go in the full score, not the part % I'm copying the notes from eQuintCue but replacing \laissezVibrer with ~ elec = \relative c'' { r2 \times 4/5 { d8 a d e a~ } a1 } -- the "elec" part in the score looks good, but no LV in the cue part. Maybe a bug? If so, maybe this will serve as a tiny example...? \addQuote "q" { \relative c'' { c4 \laissezVibrer } } \relative c'' { \cueDuring #"q" #UP { s4 } a4 \laissezVibrer } James -- James Harkins /// dewdrop world jamshar...@dewdrop-world.net http://www.dewdrop-world.net "Come said the Muse, Sing me a song no poet has yet chanted, Sing me the universal." -- Whitman blog: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/words audio clips: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/audio more audio: http://soundcloud.com/dewdrop_world/tracks % Written as a quick summary reference for myself :) \version "2.14.1" \paper { indent = 0 } global = { \time 4/4 \numericTimeSignature \key d \major } sheng = \relative c'' { \cueDuring #"eQuintCue" #UP { R1 } d16 a d e a4 r2 } eQuintCue = \relative c'' { r2 \times 4/5 { d8 a d e a~ } } \addQuote "eQuintCue" { \eQuintCue } % These notes will go in the full score, not the part % I'm copying the notes from eQuintCue but replacing \laissezVibrer with ~ elec = \relative c'' { \eQuintCue a'1 } \markup { "Part with cue -- cues need to be given in the music variable" } \score { \new Staff { \global \sheng } } \markup { "Score without cues -- wrap staff's expression in \killCues" } \score { << \new Staff { \killCues { \global \sheng } } \new Staff { \global \elec } >> } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
