Well, we can't help a user who doesn't search the table of contents or index for "tremolo". It just occurred to me that we could probably remove "repeat syntax" entirely with no ill effects: 1.4.1 Repeating phrases 1.4.1.1 Normal (volta) repeats 1.4.1.2 Written out repeats %% note that volta and u

I changed it about two years ago; a few users complained that "perfect repeats" didn't make sense. (a fake musical term, or wasn't understandable by non-English readers, or something like that). Cheers, - Graham On Fri, 22 Feb 2008 16:11:00 +0100 Mats Bengtsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Als

Hi Stefan, Probably it's best to create a macro just like you've done, but use \once \override. Then you can call the macro immediately before each mute spanner. And your settings will apply to your mute spanners only. (On the other hand, if your score contained only these mute spanners, then it

Dear Trevor, many thanks for Your very useful tip and Your excellent explanations! It works exactly, how I want to have it. One last question: If I use later in the score other text-spanners (like e.g. ritardando ) do I have to revert the settings? Or would it maybee better to use \once \override i

Also, could we find a better term than "Measure repeats", so that it covers also \repeat percent 4 { c4 }. I think we used to have the title "percent repeats" in some old version of the manual, but I'm not sure if that rings a bell either, for most readers. /Mats Mats Bengtsson wrote: Don't f

Don't forget that it probably isn't obvious to most first time readers that a tremolo or measure repeat is even considered a repeat, i.e. they won't look in the section called repeats. Also, don't forget about \repeat unfold, which actually is very useful in some circumstances, but perhaps doesn't

Hi Ralph I'd go for the simpler structure: 1.4 Repeats 1.4.1 Repeat syntax 1.4.2 Normal repeats 1.4.3 Manual repeat commands 1.4.4 Tremolo repeats 1.4.5 Measure repeats This puts the syntax at the front, as you wanted, and removes the ugly, somewhat artificial, separation into Writing repeats a
