Hello list, I'm presently trying to transcribe a piece of music that has both accented and ghost notes on the snare drum. And I've run into a few issues:
1. Ghost notes are not particularly user friendly requiring the use of \parenthesize. Does anyone know of a more concise way? 2. Is there an easy way to also get ghost notes to come out correctly in midi as soft notes? 3. There is not much difference between sn4 and sn4->. In midi the volumes are 90 for the normal note and 110 for the accented note. I believe the max for midi is 127. Can the volume of the accented note be raised? Ideally I'd want to use input (yes I know the parentheses won't work) like: (sn4) sn4-> (sn4) sn4-> And have that come out "parenthesized" in the engraving, and in midi as: soft LOUD soft LOUD Here's a minimum working example: music = { \new DrumStaff { \new DrumVoice { \voiceOne \time 4/4 \tempo 4 = 82 \drummode { <\parenthesize sn4> sn4-> <\parenthesize sn4> sn4-> } } } } \score { \music \layout { } \midi {} } \version "2.19.83" Note: the accent behaviour in midi out appears broken in 2.18.2. Thanks, Stef _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
