Re: Trill and nonstandard expressive mark

[Ed Gordijn]

Hi David,

Well, you need _two_ trill starting commands now (though you could
likely squeeze <>\startTrillSpan into \SetUpPrall), and you need to
spend more attention to detail to the overrides.

So you likely contributed more time on this than I did.

I am still in 2.16 and did try your tweaks but didn't get it ride. I know that 2.17  has got a new syntax with dots but converting that to the 2.16 style didn't solve it. Here is my code, I don't know what is wrong.

\version "2.16.0"

beginPrallSpan = {

\tweak #'(bound-details left text) \markup { \fontsize #-5 \musicglyph #"accidentals.leftparen" }

\tweak #'(bound-details left stencil-offset) #'(0.02 . -0.65)

\startTrillSpan

}

{

c''-\beginPrallSpan

d''

c''2\stopTrillSpan

}

So, yes I am spending more time, but learned more than you did ;-)

Greetings, Ed
