..or if the you finish the bar in some other way { c2 <>\! r2 } { c2 <>\! s2 } The <> specifies when to end the hairpin, but LilyPond also wants a reference graphical object to know where to end its printing. I was hoping to keep the text above the example short. It generalizes : Some notations are placed relative to a note head (or rest or bar-line). These may be attached to an empty chord, so long as some other input provides the note head (or rest or bar-line). I expected complaints about vocal.itely. It now avoids the tricky zero-length-spacer-rest in favor of a much longer input. My evidence for the longer input being less cryptic is http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2011-10/msg00118.html The documentation for the longer construction is in staff.itely _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
