Re: \dim and avoid-slur

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi all,

Here’s another solution, which keeps “dim.” as a DynamicText, and avoids 
multiple voices:

dynDim = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:line (#:normal-text #:italic "dim." )))

theMusic = {
  f''1*1/2( s-\tweak extra-offset #'(1.25 . -2.5) ^\dynDim
  ges''4)\!
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \theMusic
    \new Staff { 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 4 }
  >>
}

[n.b. The one drawback is that MIDI playback will be negatively affected by the 
scaled duration.]

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
