All,
I'm trying to notate a slide such that what I see is how I play it and I
can't figure out how to do it. When I play it, I pluck the e' then slide
to the fs' with a fair bit of rubato, then continue with the measure.
I'd like this "slow slide" to be visible as a long slide symbol
(\glissando?).
Right now I have this:
<lilypond>
e'8 g' b' e'' e' g' b' e'' |
\grace{ e'8 \glissando } fs'8 _\markup { \italic { Rubato } } g' b'
e'' fs' g' b' e'' |
</lilypond>
What I want is for the slide symbol to be much longer, about the
distance from one eighth note to another so that it is quite visible and
obvious that the slide is audible and deliberate and not, really, a
typical \grace (which I'm using here not knowing another way to do this).
What I've tried:
1. I know how to create space between the grace note e and the f-sharp,
but the technique uses either an s4 or r4 and that breaks the
\glissando. I added "\once \override NoteColumn.glissando-skip =
##t" but that was ineffective in skipping the s4.
2. I did "\grace{ e'8-\markup \hspace #x \glissando } but that only
killed the \glissando and no value for x seemed to do anything.
3. I've tried using "\once \override Glissando#'gap = #x.x" but that
appears to change nothing.
Thanks,
Guy
