As I do more and more LilyPond data entry, I find the skill set
development to be interesting. I've become pretty quick at data entry
now, including dynamics and articulation marks. I've become pretty good
at tweaking the output to get the effects I want.
The skill that is NOT developing, apparently, is the skill to keep the
relative octaves straight. Inevitably, my first test run ends up going
diagonally straight off the page in one direction or other, with 20 or
30 ledger lines on each note.
Is there a simple mnemonic aid that can help me remember which part of a
given token is the one that carries forward? Individual notes are
easy. Within a chord is easy. I believe that the first note of a chord
then carries forward to the next token. But in polyphony (with << >>),
is it the last note that carries forward out of the polyphony? Does the
second part of a polyphonic set pick up from the end of the first part?
Yes, I can (and do) look this up, but if you have a quick mental rule,
that would be a big help to me.
