Thanks. I know the notation and meaning (I have Grove in both html
and braille (concise version in braille)), but it seems that
Lilypond can't generate it.
I still can't figure out what's the difference between mordents and
various pralls :-)
my girlfriend, a clarinettist and oboist, comes across these
ornamentations far more often than i do. she told me the following:
mordent: single alteration down (c b c)
prall: single alteration up (c d c)
going by some other references (dolmetsch, kopprasch [iirc]), i think
the following is how the other ones are interpreted:
prallprall: double alteration up (c d c d c)
prallmordent: up then down (c d c b c)
upprall: prall preceded by a lower step (b c d c)
downprall: prall preceded by the upper step (d c d c)
upmordent: mordent preceded by the lower step (b c b c)
downmordent: mordent preceded by the upper step (d c b c)
pralldown: prall finishing with the lower step (c d c b)
prallup: prall finishing with the upper step (c d c d)
lineprall: your guess is as good as mine
see the attached lilypond file for a possible interpretation. as with
all ornaments, the exact timing is dependent on the period, the
performer and which method he used to learn the ornaments from
(kopprash for instance suggests a turn be performed as a triplet
rather than as straigh 16ths...).
and to all the musicologists: feel free to correct any rubbish i've
just posted.
regards,
sb
