Harm's great code for making longer espressivo marks was posted on the list in 2013. It's excellent. But now say I want similar custom dynamics similar to an espressivo but with a dynamic inside, like <pp> where < and > are the arms of the espressivo. I'd like this because although the obvious answer is to use normal dynamics, I often don't have a note in the voice to set off, and I don't want to introduce separate voices just to handle this type of dynamic.
For example: C1 <pp> <p> <f> Sorry, since I don't have code for this I can't provide an MWE. I hope the question is clear. I understand this is a lot complicated than just scaling the x-axis of the basic espressivo. As an aside, this style is _very_ common in Modernist music, and it would make a great addition to core lilypond at some time. Andrew
