Re: Levelling hairpins

It's probably a language thing... My use of the word 'shame' did not in any way imply that I think that anybody should feel shame, inadequacy or guilt for the fact that Lilypond does not always do what some of us would like. The English idiom "it's a shame" means the same as the similar "it's a p

Re: Levelling hairpins

I have a follow-up question to my own example: It seems like LilyPond does already keep the level of dynamics in a staff if they are connected via spanners (\cresc \ff in my example). Couldn’t that be extended, that there is some invisible connection? Because sometimes you want a break in the dyna

Re: Levelling hairpins

Hi, there may be some issues I do not have in this simple example. But in principle extracting dynamics from music into a dynamics context is possible (second staff below): - Do not engrave the dynamics with the staff (remove engraver) - Put the same music in a dynamics context in addition (the no

This is how I deal with it. Not exactly automatic, but works well for me :-) \version "2.19.15" dynPadYOn = #(define-music-function (parser location padding)(number?) #{ \override DynamicLineSpanner.staff-padding = $padding #}) dynPadYOff = #(define-music-function (parser location)()

Levelling hairpins

One of my pieces has a lot of crescendo-decrescendo markings, using two "hairpins" (i.e. < and > ). Mostly these look fine; but just occasionally, because of the contours of the melodic line above the hairpins, the crescendo and decrescendo hairpins have different vertical placements and are not l
