My daughter is arranging a simple song to be sung by primary school
children in an eisteddfod in the next few weeks and I am trying to
typeset her arrangement in LP (2.12.2 on WINDOWS XP). There are non
lyric passages where vocal sounds are used to indicate city noises,
forest noises and ocean noises. These are to be defined by pictorial
impressions of the way the sound fluctuates together with attached
words like “Vrmmm”, “bbring bbring” etc on the song sheet submitted to
the adjudicator before the performance and the song must presented
with no deviation from that format.
I have been using cross headed notes, arpeggios (with hidden notes),
zigzag glissandos (also with hidden notes) etc to show these effects.
However, I have struck a few problems.
1) I would like to be able to vary the width and lengthy of the zigzag
on glissandos to better indicate the variation in pitch to be obtained.
2) Where noises vary from low pitch to high pitch and back down again,
I have been using a series of connected glissandos (hidden notes) but
there are gaps where the hidden notes are missing. I have attempted to
close these gaps by adding to the length of the individual glissandos
by changing the appropriate bound-details. This does lengthen the
glissandos appropriately but also raises their angle from the
horizontal so that the missing note space remains but at a higher
pitch. I tried to avoid this by using the same function but using X
instead of Y e.g. #’(bound-details right X). This did not work but
showed no error in the log and did not show the glissando at all in
any shape. I realize I am completely ignorant when it comes to
modifying the behaviour of LP objects and rely on what I am able to
read that someone else has devised.
Does anyone in the LP community have any practical advice on either or
both of these problems (not just read the manuals) or can they suggest
other symbols that already exist where these changes would not be
required.
Thanks for your interest.
