Scoop (jazz notation)

2024-05-14 Thread Tim Giles 
Hi All, I have been looking for a way to write "scoops", a fairly common effect 
in saxophone jazz.  This is written as an upwards curve before the note head, 
and indicates that the note starts low and quickly slides upwards to the 
written pitch.



Paul Scott posted a script which can notate this a couple of years ago:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2022-12/msg00313.html

As this effect is quite commonly used, I wondered if there was any interest in 
getting this mark added to Lilypond's built-in articulations?

 -Tim

Thanks for the link, Werner.  I have added a comment regarding the jazz 
application.  Cheers, -Tim
