Hi everyone,
just figured I’d recommend a bit of trickery with LilyPond input syntax
that makes my work transcribing music a lot easier and more pleasant.
This is about repetitive structures with small variations, and I suspect
many might not be aware of these possibilities (yet).
Want to use \repeat unfold, but the first note has a different
articulation or a slur starting? Insert a zero-duration empty chord to
add these articulations/spanners to:
\version "2.25.28"
{ <>(-> \repeat unfold 6 { c'8 c'' } c'4) r }
Small variations within a repetitive pattern? \alternative can now be
used anywhere inside a \repeated expression.
\version "2.25.28"
\relative { \repeat unfold 6 { g'8( \alternative { a c d fis, } b a) }
g2 r }
Many thanks to those who invented the necessary framework!
Best regards,
Simon
