RE: Cascade Chords

[drtechdaddy]

Got it.  Werner’s answer -- using \set tieWaitForNote = ##t   -- is what I was 
looking for.  Thanks.

It might be helpful to include that snippet in the chords section.

Please always include the list, so that others can benefit as well 🙂

 

I don’t think cascade chord and arpeggio are the same thing.  Maybe a “cascade 
chord” is a “slow” arpeggio, but what I’m thinking of, each added note occurs 
on a specific fraction of a measure, say every 1/8 or 1/16, or even ¼ note. The 
 build-up is slow and regular enough that you actually hear successive notes. 
I’m not sure “cascade” is even the right term—that’s what Bing told me. Let’s 
say I play and hold C, then 1/8 note later I add and hold E, then 1/8 note 
later add and hold G, then 1/8 later add and hold high C (or Bb if it’s a C7), 
then hold the whole thing for the rest of the measure.

 

Arpeggios don’t necessarily have a timing attached and thus could be played as 
1/8th or whatever speed you (or whoever plays the music) deems appropriate.

 

However if you want it written explicitly then the example Werner provided 
should get you a long way towards your goal.

 

Kind regards,

Michael

When you say „cascade chord“ do you mean an arpeggio?

 

If so then yes, Lilypond has a special \arpeggio command that is simply 
appended to the chord that’s broken.

 

Kind regards,

Is there a special notation for cascade chords (chords played by adding 
successive notes )?  I could do it by adding a new voice for each note, but 
that seems unwieldly and cluttered.

Re: slash to indicate repeated chord?

Thanks.  It took me a while to get around to it,
but I tried the Scheme solution from Francisco Vila(?) and it worked.
