Thanks, Carl, for the clarification.. Mark: I was coding (from memory) what was one of the Minuets in Hob.IX:8 ("12 Minuets for Clavecin or Pianoforte", as it turned out after a lot of spade work; I had thought to be a work by Mozart in his Divertimenti). Having obtained the sheet music, I was

Having stumbled across entering in \fz directly, I didn't explore any further using #(make-dynamic-script). But since you mentioned, looking at examples in the Notation manual, I understood that it should go before the relative command. Precisely, I had this sequence: \score { fz =

Well, \fz did work without a prior definition (pleasant surprise for me, since I didn't find a reference to it in the manual nor the LSR) Mike Dean On Wed, Sep 30, 2020 at 8:31 PM Mike Dean wrote: > Two questions in typesetting a piece by Haydn: > 1. Does Fz needs to be defined (unlike sfz)? >

Some organs have a toy stop emulating bagpipes, which is a single lever that activates two drone pipes (reeds): they are either on continuously, or off. And organ tuners commonly use a key weight to depress individual keys while they are tuning, if they have to tune without an assistant. There

A sustain pedal wouldn't be possible, since an organ has no dampers. An organ pipe sounds just as long as the key and stop send air to it. A sostenuto mechanism might be possible, though personally I've never heard of one, by simply keeping the key or part of the linkage depressed. Your
