Thanks Kieren that does help a bit but I may have to live with the long hairpin ascetic (does this qualify something that needs a better Lilypond solution).
Midi is very useful to weed out missed accidentals and other errors and unless the hairpins are in the same places in all staves this would not be possible. The only way I can see to handle this is to have a separate dynamics staff for each part but this is a big pain in any sizable score. It can be done if you start in NoteWorthy complete all the dynamics and convert to Lilypond using Phil Holmes' excellent NWCTXT2Ly.exe or possibly just use the blank dynamics staff to input hairpins in Lilypond. It's a bit messy however you do it. >-----Original Message----- >From: Kieren MacMillan [mailto:[email protected]] >Sent: Friday, September 06, 2013 2:18 PM >To: Peter Gentry >Cc: [email protected] >Subject: Re: Contolling Hairpin spans again > >Hi Peter, > >> I would like to reduce the span of the hairpin in the third >bar so that it does not reach to the crotchet - is this possible? > >Here are two solutions: > >\version "2.16.2" > >\paper { ragged-right = ##f } > >\relative c'' { >\clef "treble" >\time 3/4 >r2 e4\pp-\tweak #'minimum-length #8.0 \< ~ >e2\> e4-\tweak #'minimum-length #6.0 \< ~ >e2*1/2\> s4\! e4 >d2. >} > > >\relative c'' { >\clef "treble" >\time 3/4 >r2 e4\pp-\tweak #'minimum-length #8.0 \< ~ >e2\> e4-\tweak #'minimum-length #6.0 \< ~ ><< { e2\! e4 } \new Voice { s4\> s4\! s4 } >> d2. >} > >The first may be a bit counterintuitive, and will mess up MIDI >output, but is easier to type. >The second is a little more intuitive, but the voice-juggling >can get frustrating, and it's harder to type (though a music >function would reduce the effort). > >Hope this helps! >Kieren.= _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
