Hi, You wrote... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hello- I am forcing accidentals in a modal piece. Time signature is 21/8 so the measures are long. I wanted to do a multi-measure hairpin (decrescendo) but the hairpin stopped at the end of the first measure at the forced accidental (!). 1] is there a way around this? 2] is this a bug or really the way it's supposed to work or 3] is the reason it stopped there different from my assumption. Thanks Jay ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ...from the NM p106 " A crescendo mark is started with \< and terminated with \!, an absolute dynamic, or an additional crescendo or decrescendo mark. A decrescendo mark is started with \> and is also terminated with \!, an absolute dynamic, or another crescendo or decrescendo mark. \cr and \decr may be used instead of \< and \>. Hairpins are engraved by default using this notation. c2\< c\! d2\< d\f e2\< e\> f2\> f\! e2\> e\mp d2\> d\> c1\! " I guess you might have to place the mp, pp, etc as markups - (but these might not then be seen by midi...?) - if you want the hairpin to extend across the complete snippet ... from \> to \!
Hope this helps Regards Bill _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
