Re: need room for fall

[Mats Bengtsson]

Your example is confusing, since the two measures have different length. 
The next time you send a question to the mailing list, please provide a 
complete example that can be ran directly through LilyPond, such as:
\relative c'{
   f2.~  f8 \bendAfter #-4 f |
   r2 r8 c d f~ |
}

Also, in the Notation Reference, it say's:
"The dash |-| immediately preceding the |\bendAfter| command is 
/required/ when writing falls and doits."
so if you wanted the fall to apply to the last note of the first 
measure, then you should rather write:
\relative c'{
  f2.~ f8 f-\bendAfter #-4 |
   r2 r8 c d f~ |
}

Back to your specific question. You can find the answer in 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-01/msg00772.html
I have just added it also to the LSR (LilyPond Snippet Repository)
