Hi List.

I'm looking for a LilyPond way to specify note duration
in a Proportional Notation context using exactly _one_
stemless notehead type.

Perhaps the first option is a mid-level horizontal line
extending distance-X from the notehead. (The space
following would indicate silence.)

But I want ask: has anyone done this instead with the
_hairpin_ -- attached to a note-head via pitch params,
tapered to a param-specified length, and filled?

If not, or in any case, any other ideas?

Thanks in advance for your time.
Pete



Hi Pete,

do you mean something like:

?

Somewhere on my computer I've an updated version, if the link shows
what you're looking for.

Cheers,
Harm


Hi Harm.

Not quite.  Attached is a mockup (c/o xfig) of what I have in mind:
a stemless notehead, to be placed on the staff according to its LP
pitch-name; and a filled hairpin for the duration, placed vertically
along with the head, but with its horizontal length calculated by
LilyPond from the score's note-value spec.

(Wouldn't that be nice?)
Cheers,
Pete

I’ve seen this done with glissandi.
It is possible with any spanner, but glissandi are easier in that they are 
already associated with note heads.

Thanks Mike.

Yes, I have a glissandi example, and the layout overall looks good.
But a glissando heads off towards the next _pitch_ -- i.e., not just
horizontally to the Right 'til Dur-time runs out, which is what I want.

I could insert an invisible repeated pitch, I suppose, to fool a gliss
into this direction.  But I'd rather not have to, especially with the
extra metrical fuss required.

BTW, the context for such stuff would be perpetual \cadenzaOn,
with \bar | crammed in whenever a simultaneity is imminent.

Is it worth it, Petee?

Who knows?
Regards,
Pete

Hi Yerself, Harm!

I will give this a shot.  (Better update to 2.18
first - I've been still treading water in 2.12.3).

Thanks!
