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!
Further Googling gives http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=616 :
%<-------------------------------------------
stringNumberSpanner =
#(define-music-function (parser location StringNumber) (string?)
#{
\override TextSpanner #'style = #'solid
\override TextSpanner #'font-size = #-5
\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left stencil-align-dir-y) = #CENTER
\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = \markup { \circle
\number $StringNumber }
#})
\relative c {
\clef "treble_8"
\stringNumberSpanner "5"
\textSpannerDown
a8\startTextSpan
b c d e f\stopTextSpan
\stringNumberSpanner "4"
g\startTextSpan a
bes4 a g2\stopTextSpan
}
%<-------------------------------------------
which is closer in appearance, but I haven't the Scheme fu to modify the
stringNumberSpanner function to incorporate the startTextSpan and number
of notes. Ideally, one would wind up with something like a8\fSpan {"5"
4} which would extend a line for 4 of the note value of the starting note.
Maybe I'll have a chance to RTFM about Extending, but for the moment,
desperately in need of practice as I am, the analog pencil will have to
suffice!
Cheers,
Colin
