Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to create a new dynamic sign for 'attacco impercettibile'
(this can be found for example in scores of some spectralist composers,
like Gérard Grisey). This sign is supposed to be something like a
striked circle, like the character ɵ or ø character, and it means
something like 'zero volume', so if it's at the beginning of a
crescendo, you should start playing from absolute stillness, and if it's
at the end of a decrescendo, you should make the decrescendo until total
still. For this, I tried the following code:
zeroDyn = #(make-dynamic-script ø)
This works, but the output looks quite awful, it would be better to use
some other character font and/or make the character to be smaller. But
if I change the ø to (for example) \roman ø, I don't get the desired
result.
How can I set the font type and/or size used to create the dynamic
symbols with make-dynamic-script?
Thank you,
Adam
Hi Adam,
Have you looked up the circled-tip attribute of the Hairpin grob in the manual?
We put that in for the dal niente sort of thing you're talking about a
year ago or so. I think Erlend did the implementation, and it gives
very good graphic control.
You won't, however, be able to get the null-style slash through the
circle, IIRC. But maybe you can do without and look like Sciarrino
instead of Grisey?
Trevor.
