crescendi/decrescendi on one note in Lilypond? and how does a pianist do this?

2021-01-29 Thread Kenneth Wolcott
Hello; I have another simple engraving question. I frequently see a crescendo or decrescendo on a single note (usually a whole note). How does a pianist do this? I can see a wind instrument or even a string instrument doing this. And, even more importantly, how to engrave this? Two m

grace, appoggiatura or acciaccatura? and at the beginning of the first measure?

2021-01-29 Thread Kenneth Wolcott
