Re: accent diminuendo

[Simon Albrecht]

Hello Stephen,

how about the attached? I implemented it in two different ways: once as an articulation, once as a dynamic script. You also see the line-widths of my long-accent-markup and the default hairpin in comparison.

when composers wanted to create an accent (before the notated accent symbol) they used diminuendo over just one note. this however in Performing practice leaves the question did they mean an accented note or a note that quickly diminishes, or perhaps both. as performance practice becomes more standard in score it seams common not to apply your own interpretation but render the score as it was and add performance notes.

This is my preference.

a great book on the topic is "Classical and Romantic Performing Practice 1750-1900"

Interesting topic; by whom is the book? published when and where?

anyway a discussion on shortening the hairpin (March 19th) led me to thinking maybe there is a better solution then i currently use.

my current workaround is

<<

\new Dynamics {

\once \override Hairpin.X-offset = #.5

\once \override Hairpin.Y-offset = #5.35

s4*45/100\>s\! s s s4

}

\relative c'' {<<{<cis ais>4 <d b>8 \slurDown fis16 (e)}\\{\stemDown g,,8\rest e [e] g8\rest}>>

}

>>

they where often notated center to center or center to end of note head.

The advantage of this way is I can adjust the hairpin length and position to my liking.

any one have a better approach.

Thanks

Stephen

Oh my last posting "rendering on linux vs windows" was a \paper {} mistake -- we both had different ones... oops.
