Hi Francesco
try this: \version "2.19.80" \score { \new Staff { \clef treble \key c \major \time 12/8 % excerpt from Grieg Piano sonata op. 7 \relative c'' { % 16 <c c'>4.->\ff <b b'>-> <ais ais'>-> <b b'>->\> | % 17 s1.*0\! | % I had to add this measure to get the hairpin printed } } } You can multiply any rhythmic value with a number. Using 0 ensures the endpoint of the crescendo is found without extending the music. -- Orm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
