Re: spanners in multi-voice

[N. Andrew Walsh]

Arrgh. I may not have resolved my issue (or, there's something going on here I don't understand).

Here's an example:

\version "2.19.80"

\relative c'' {

\time 4/8

%1-2

 R2*2

 

 | %3

 <<

   { a,16\cresc\( d~ d4.\) }

   \\

   { a8~ a4. }

 >>

 

 | %4

 <<

   { a16\( d f4.\) }

   \\

   { a,8~ a4. }

 >>

 

 | %5

 <<

   { \tuplet 3/2 { a16\( d f } a4.\) }

   \\

   { a,8~ a4. }

 >>

 

 | %6

 <<

   { \tuplet 6/4 4 { a16\( d f a d f } a4\!\) }

   \\

   { a,,4~ a }

 >>

 

 | %7

 <<

   { d''8~\decr d4. }

   \\

   { d16 g,~ g4. }

 >>

 

 | %8

 d32\( a'16.~ a4.\)

 

 | %9

 <<

   { a8~ a4.\! }

   \\

   { \tuplet 3/2 { a16 e cis } a4. }

 >>

 

 | %10

 <<

   { a,16\<\( d~ d4.\!\) }

   \\

   { a8~ a4. }

 >>

}

Here, the \cresc command creates a dynamic as text without issue (from bar 3 to 6). However, the \decr command, from bar 7 to 10, does not, and I get the error about an unterminated decrescendo I posted previously.

So what am I doing wrong here?

Cheers,

A

Fair enough. And as it turns out, when I add a \! statement later on in that voice, the error disappears and it draws a crescendo and decrescendo as desired. 

Sorry for the noise.

Cheers,
