Re: Trill and nonstandard expressive mark

[Shane Brandes]

Thank you Ed,

  That means I can take a number of text less trills back into the
trillspanner function. However that leaves yet the upprall, an up
prall or for that matter a down prall trill has an extra long initial
curved slash that tells you which neighbour, upper or lower to start
from as you enter the trill. It is worth looking up how they function
if you  find yourself dealing with such music as the small extra
flashiness intended is really delightful. It was a relatively common
notation in the baroque possibly early classical, or rather galant,
period. It is one of the tiny useful things, once a standard notation,
that lilypond still has not gotten into its arsenal.
