Hi!
I'm trying to transcribe the guitar parts of songs I like using
LilyPond. One thing I've found is that my score gets verbose quickly.
Here's a (minimal?) sample:
\version "2.19.80"
\new Staff {
\clef "treble_8"
<e, b, e b e'>4->
<e, b, e b e'>
\deadNote e,
<e, b, e b e'>8->
<e, b, e b e'>
}
My first attempt at making this a bit more readable, by assigning the
simultaneous note expression(?) a name, doesn't work as I expect.
Firstly using \accent (or ->) now becomes a syntax error, but more
importantly changing the duration of individual invocation doesn't work.
(It insert an _extra_ note of the new duration, it seems.)
\version "2.19.80"
e_five = <e, b, e b e'>4
\new Staff {
\clef "treble_8"
\e_five
\e_five
\deadNote e,
\e_five8
\e_five
}
I also tried using \chordmode. Whil this allows me to use the (long
form) of \accent, and allows me to change chord duractions, I find it
less readable than my original attempt.
\version "2.19.80"
\new Staff {
\clef "treble_8"
\chordmode {
e,,4:5.8.12.15\accent
e,,:5.8.12.15
}
\deadNote e,
\chordmode {
e,,8:5.8.12.15\accent
e,,:5.8.12.15
}
}
Is there any way I can reduce the duplication of simultaneous notes and
make my scores a little bit more readable?
Regards,
Stig
