Hi, I am trying to make a decrescendo end in a subito dynamic for the
next note. .....
+++++++++++++++
Given that sfz is equal to subito-forzando
(see http://piano.about.com/od/termsrelatingtodynamics/g/GL_subito.htm)
and from the NR
Absolute dynamic marks are specified using a command after a note, such
as c4\ff. The available dynamic marks are \ppppp, \pppp, \ppp, \pp, \p,
\mp, \mf, \f, \ff, \fff, \ffff, \fffff, \fp, \sf, \sff, \sp, \spp, \sfz,
and \rfz.
I did a bit of lateral guessing and eventually ended up at the file
dynamic-scripts-init.ly in <my> folder
/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/ly
(yours is probably different.)
A simple edit of that file to add
smf = #(make-dynamic-script "smf")
after the sff entry
allowed LP to process your file, altered appropriately, to produce
something which I think is musically acceptable although the full
'subito' text is not produced.
Hope this helps
E&OE ! :)
