Hi all, I would like to know if any of you are interested in sharing with me the cost of sponsoring a glissando feature. (Han-Wen, how much would this cost?)
The idea is to have a glissando start in one note and end in another *non adjacent* note. While looking for ways to do this with Lily, i found a couple of emails of people wanting the same thing. ( http://www.nabble.com/long-glissando-with-rhythm-question-tf1743455.html#a4738330 ) Currently, Lily assumes a glissando will always connect adjacent notes. (The sintax works like ties in Lily, where one puts the tie command ~ after the first note) But many times one needs the glissando to span a duration that cannot be expressed with a single note, e.g. 1 + 1/4. I've attached a PDF with 2 examples of this (taken from one of my own scores), together with a proposed syntax for the implementation. Essentially, these glissandi would work exactly like slurs in Lily, using one command to start a gliss and another to end it. e.g. c4\glissStart c16 f8\glissEnd It is now standard to indicate only the duration of the intermediate notes *without noteheads* (again, refer to the pdf example). Whether this would be done by Lily automatically i don't know... one could simply hide the head of the intermediate notes. I guess the ideal would be to have a boolean option for this new feature, where one could say something like Glissando #'hide-middle-notes = ##t hope some of you are interested, best.
