My cello teacher is quite insistent that I get accustomed to keeping
fingers in place while I'm going between strings, so I'm asking about
the best way to code that in LP. The only thing I've found is
repeatCommands, as in this:
%<------------------------------------%<
\version "2.15"
celloII = \relative c {
\key d \major
\clef bass
\time 4/4
%13
d8-0 \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "3"))
fis-3 a-0 d-4 \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
a,-1 \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1")) e'-1 a-0 cis-3
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
}
\score {
\celloII
\layout {}
}
%<------------------------------------%<
Surely I'm missing something less brutal than that! My instructor wants
to make the held fingering explicit in many, many bars, and as long as
he's waving the pencil, I'm unconcerned. When I'm running the exercise
through LP to get it larger and cleaner, I'm seriously concerned, and
very much open to suggestions!
Cheers,
Colin
PS: the snippet will be part of a setting of the Canon in D, set against
The First Noel in a choir, and while even my beginning cello skills can
handle 8 half notes, rinse and repeaqt, I'm wanting to put the arpeggios
on top.
