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"
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.
