With a violin player, simple enough: c(c) is often executed by playing the same note but on a different string. Take a look at the Ciaconne in the violin solo partita 2 from Bach. The last page of it has a number of these bowings IIRC. There are also a number of three or four string arpeggios in there that end up, in the course of the modulation/progression, with several identical notes on different strings right after another on a single bow. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
