Pierre,

 

Arnold Dolmetsch in his The Interpretation of the Music of the 17th and 18th 
Centuries, provides a list of “signs” with examples of execution.

BTW, I found this : http://home.insightbb.com/~cratonkiwi/music/orn3.jpg

Are these glyphs and explanation accurate?

(Actually, the example taken to draw my glyph was:

Or even:

shake = 
-\tweak stencil #(lambda (grob)(grob-interpret-markup grob purcell-shake-glyph))
\trill

Hi Andrew,

Interesting question.

I'm not familiar with Purcell's work but what I found on IMSLP was that this 
shake is used as (e.g.) a trill.

So how about :

\version "2.19.45"

purcell-shake-glyph = 
\markup\stencil 
  #(make-path-stencil
     '(M -0.20  0.05 L  1.55  0.51 M -0.31  0.43 L  1.45  0.90)
     0.17 1 1 #f)
     
shake =
#(define-event-function () ()
   #{ 
     -\tweak stencil #(lambda (grob)(grob-interpret-markup grob 
purcell-shake-glyph))
     \trill #})

%% Test:
{
  a'\shake
}

Cheers,

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

 

Wouldn’t it be better to do these are actual ornaments instead of just markup? 
I say this because there is a page on the lilyond blog regarding this, but it 
is only partially complete. If we did them as ornaments the possibility would 
arise of being able to use them to set English Virginal Music which uses the 
slash and double slash, through the stem, extensively - although as folks have 
noted, nobody really knows what they mean.

 

Since I am a harpsichord player I am one day going to do all the many varieties 
of the French keyboard ornaments, a rich and flowering garden, so I  have just 
now taken an interest in this thread.

 

Andrew
