Yes - it's combining a legato slide with a bend that is the problem.  Fortunately, I've been sent a lovely set of code by Stephen MacNeil that does a great job at handling guitar music. Martyn From: Federico Bruni To: Martyn Quick Cc: "lilypond-user@gnu.org" S

Guitar bends together with slides

2015-05-11 Thread Martyn Quick
For those of us who use Lilypond to typeset guitar music, we are aware that one has to apply some slightly dirty tricks to make bends work together with hammer-on/pull-offs.  This is well established, can be found referred to in the documentation for the guitar bends code, and has been discussed

Guitar bend at end of bar with linebreak [was: Strange problem with guitar bends]

2014-08-03 Thread Martyn Quick
I've finally worked out what is causing the problem with the guitar bends.  It is when the engraver is trying to implement a linebreak and bending up from one note to the other at the end of the bar. The following code gives a simple example of it going wrong.  Any ideas how to fix this? - I g

Vibrato using textspanner - stopping before a bar-line

2014-07-23 Thread Martyn Quick
I've been using the textspanner to indicate vibrato on notes.  This works on the whole quite well, usually a bit better if I use a hidden grace note to stop the textspan when finishing the vibrato.  However, it doesn't quite work as I'd hoped for notes at the end of a bar.  I would like the vibr
