The above example would not work if I add another note :
{
\repeat unfold 8 {e''16 d''} <>\f |
c'1 |
}
The "empty chord" syntax (which probably has a name? (and is not a
chord in my understanding)) pushes the expression to the next event.
Yes, you're right that the empty chord (this is what I've heard others
call it) does not actually put the event at the end of the measure,
but the beginning of the next measure. I use a different context for
all my dynamics and I've gotten so used to typing...
{
s2...\< s16\! |
}
...that I do it almost automatically. But I can see now that a
"fromEnd" command would be useful.
If you want the (de-)crescendo to stop at the barline, then you
shouldn't need such solutions, since \< and \> have the to-barline
property set by default, which means that even if the \! is placed after
the bar line, the hairpin will stop nicely just at the end of the bar:
\version "2.24.0"
{
<>\< \repeat unfold 8 {e''16 d''} <>\! |
c'1 |
% Strangely enough, to-barline isn't the default for textual
de(crescendi):
\override DynamicTextSpanner.to-barline = ##t
<>\cresc \repeat unfold 8 {e''16 d''} <>\! |
c'1 |
}
