That’s because this version does not use \after, which is a music function that
expects a single musical expression as its first parameter.

\mf\< is two musical expressions; { \mf\< } is one musical expression.
"Use musical time” isn’t exactly how I would frame the behaviour.

It is intended, as far as I know.
Hope that helps!

Re: Dynamics [pl|sp]acing weirdness
Hi Kieren,
thanks for answering :)
I've come across some placing or spacing weirdness with dynamics.
In the attached example \dynamicsA is what I tried to code, aka the \< starts
directly after the \mf. What I expected is what you see in \dynamicsB. However it
seems as if the combo \mf\< does use some musical time which makes the \f appear 1
quaver later than I had expected.
Is this behaviour expected or a bug?
Did you notice the error(s) when you tried to compile? ;)
You mean the failed bar check? That's basically my complaint. I don't
understand why the bar check fails.
Try this instead:
dynamicsA = {
s2. \after 8... { <>\mf\< } s4 | s2 s2\f |
}
Note that the combo you’re trying to insert needs to be wrapped in braces so
that it’s a single musical expression.
While that works, wrapping that combo isn't required all the time. E.g.
when you have
dynamicsA = {
s2. s4\mf\< | s2 s2\f |
}
everything compiles w/o a complaint. Of course the placement of the \mf
is different.
However when you try something like
dynamicsA = {
s2. \after 64 \mf\< s4 | s2 s2\f |
}
there still is the bar check warning, implying that the combo \mf\f does
use musical time.
That's something I don't understand. Especially since it doesn't seem to
when wrapped in {}.
If that's intended (and I'm not saying it isn't or can't be) I'd like to
understand the reason for this (to me) inconsistency.
Kind regards,
Michael

Dynamics [pl|sp]acing weirdness
Hi list!
I've come across some placing or spacing weirdness with dynamics.
In the attached example \dynamicsA is what I tried to code, aka the \<
starts directly after the \mf. What I expected is what you see in
\dynamicsB. However it seems as if the combo \mf\< does use some musical
time which makes the \f appear 1 quaver later than I had expected.
Is this behaviour expected or a bug?
Kind regards,
