Baroque ornamentation

2008-03-10 Thread David Fedoruk
Hello: Does Lilypond have a way to print a pre-classical period appogiatura as preceding a prall or mordent? It looks like a tie or a slur tipped at an angle just before the note which is ornamented. In checking how this is performed I understand that it is an appogiatura as J.S. Bach would have

I've realized that I may have painted myself into a bit of a corner. I'm working on an orchestral part with cues. The main part needs to be transposed. I have defined the cues and the main part in separate blocks. I have used \relative for both. Now I'm realizing that perhaps it would have

Text crescendi with hidden line and their position

I've run into a problem with text crescendi: I don't want any spanner lines for the "cresc.", "dim.", "cresc molto." etc. spanners, so I'm setting their #'dash-period to #-1.0. However, in this case, the position of the "cresc." text is still calculated as if the line was present. In most cases

Um, no, not at all. That's not the problem. Looking at it some more it seems that what I need is more clef changes in and out of the cues in order to insure that different transpositions of the main part,including transpositions involving different clefs will produce the results I'm after. -
