I had no idea about this, although I guess I'm not surprised that's how it 
works. Thanks for explaining it!

Hi,

yes, the bend-engraver still misses functionality for those "angled"
lines in regular Voices.
Though, currently I've not the time to work on it, sorry.
Anyway, shouldn't be too hard to use Marc's older code and limit it to
Voice, as Federico already said.

If you (or someone else) give it a try, I may find some time somewhere
to give some hints, but can't do more atm.

Cheers,
  Harm

When replying to an email, clients are expected to insert the 
"In-Reply-To" header.  This entry makes it possible for other clients to 
keep track of threads of discussion even when the subject line might 
change.


So while you wanted to begin a new conversation, replying to an email 
rather than composing a new one unintentionally associated it with the 
existing thread.


You can review the mailing list archive [1] to better see the effect 
this has.  Note that "Guitar string bending" is nested underneath "Glyph 
sample sheet" whereas "Guitar string bends" stands alone as its own 
thread.

I hope this helps to clear up any confusion.

Hi all,

(Sorry for the duplicate, I didn't know how I replied created issues 
for others.)


What's the state of Lilypond's support for notating bends in guitar 
music? I've read ["The Story of 'String Bending' in Lilypond"][1] on 
the Lilypond blog, and that seemed promising, but it seems work on 
the new bend engraver has stopped.




As far as I know, there's only one person, Harm, who worked on this 
stuff in the last few years.
I guess he will reply to this thread and let us know if there's any 
progress to be expected in the future.



I'm interested specifically in the angled lines that indicate bends 
in the regular staff, more or less like what is shown in the attached 
PDF (from [issue 1196][2] mentioned in the blog post).


If it's not there yet, I can always use some other notation to 
indicate bending---after all, I'm only using Lilypond to do some 
transcriptions and lead sheets for myself---but it would be a good 
feature. To me, it's also probably the only significant shortcoming 
of Lilypond.



Hoping for good news! If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do 
what I can, although my coding skills are kinda basic.




The angled lines in the staff were present in the old implementation by 
Marc Hohl.
IIRC Harm told me that porting that portion of Marc's code into his 
implementation shouldn't be too difficult. Well, if you can code and 
know Scheme.


You may test your coding skills and try? ;-)



Regards,

Randy
