Hi Ken, sfz is sforzando, sometimes also fz (forzando) or sforzato or forzato or whatever. sf can be used as sforzando, but sometimes you find sf and sp also for subito forte and subito piano. Cheers, Valentin Am Donnerstag, 6. Jänner 2022, 04:19:58 CET schrieb Kenneth Wolcott: > Hi; > > M

Hi all, As composer, pianist, and conductor, I can offer that the consensus among most of the musicians I know is that sfz is [in modern practice] considered different from sf, especially with respect to the envelope of the note: in "equation" terms, one might write sfz = sf + >. An analogous d

Start new piece without line break (with title)

Hi everyone, I'd like to copy the layout of a small tune book. New pieces don't always start in a new line, it usually occurs that the next song starts somewhere in the middle of the line. Titles are placed before each piece (not above the staff) I found two helpful topics in the archive but co

Paulo, It seems like what you have is the right approach. How much simpler could it be? AFAIK \alternative is only useful with \repeat volta. Of course, you'd leave off the backslashes when defining the variables. John -Original Message- From: lilypond-user [mailto:lilypond-user-bounces+js

Hi Paolo, Hi Jean, \unfoldRepeats does do the trick, but it is rather hard to read structurally. If I look at something like { \partA \transition \partB \partA \ending } The structure is immediately clear. Instead if we have \unfoldRepeats { \repeat unfold 2 { many lines of code } \alternativ
