Re: Half a \prall

These symbols correspond to one symbol each in the LilyPond font, so I'm afraid you would have to use some trick with \markup to draw a white area on top of half the symbol. Similar tricks have been described several times on the mailing list (and I think there are examples in LSR). /Mats Hans

Half a \prall

Is is possible to produce a \prall and a \mordent, but with only one wave (one peak and one valley). The idea is to notate a special ornament similar to these, but where the speed does not admit the terminating note of a Pralltriller or mordent (used in Bulgarian music). Hans Aberg __

The most likely problem is that you have managed to enter something in your file that does not follow the syntax, so that LilyPond gets confused. Do you get any xxx.log file (assuming that your input file was called xxx.ly)? In that case, you will hopefully get some hints in it on what's wrong.
