2006-05-24 Thread Erik Ronström

Tremolo positioning

2006-05-24 Thread Ralph Little
Hi, I saw some comments earlier on tremolo positioning. I've seen some issues with some tremolos on semiquavers in 2.8.1 (on windows) \include "english.ly" \score { {c'1:16 a'1:16 a''1:16} } The tremolo slashes cover the first and third note, although the "a" looks fine.

1- For the glissando, how can you connect notes between 2 chords? I tried \glissando , but it only connected the c & f. There was no line between e & a. 2- For qurater flats, how can I get a quarter flat to be output as a slashed flat? If I enter "ceh", I get an inverted flat while entering ceseh
