Comment #5 on issue 1735 by [email protected]: modifying default behaviour of tremolo slashes
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1735
Please keep current settings (i.e. rectangular, parallel-to-the-beam tremolos) as default behaviour. Joe said he took this as default because "that's what most of his scores have" and according to my personal experience, the current lily settings looks far more familiar to scores I have played than the new proposed default. The last score I played is Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.5 and as you can see on IMSLP in the Violin I part (first page) http://imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Concerto_No.5,_Op.73_%28Beethoven,_Ludwig_van%29 http://imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/f/f2/IMSLP19342-PMLP03875-Beethoven_Piano_Concerto_5_V1.pdf this edition by Breitkopf & Härtel uses rectangular, parallel-to-the-beam tremolos (just as current lily settings). IMHO we should not blindly follow Elaine Gould. Eventually it would be great if someone took the time to study what are the practices of renowned publisher's editions. Or maybe try a little survey on lilypond-user. Maybe the new proposed constant, non-rectangular could be the default for RhythmicStaff (but we should ask some percussionists about it) Thanks in advance and thanks for your work Janek, it is nice to have such a feature. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
