Re: Create a \prall with a slur above

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi Viktor,

See: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.20/Documentation/notation/text-markup-commands

E.g.:

\version "2.20.0"
\new TabStaff  {
  \tabFullNotation
  g
  ^\markup\left-align {
  \override #'(direction . 1)
  \tie \musicglyph #"scripts.prall"
  }
}

HTH, Cheers,

Pierre

Hello,

I would like to create an upper mordent (\prall) for guitar tabs, which would have a curved slur over a single note.

The reasoning is that I would like to distinguish the regular Mordent (where each note is plucked), with the Grace Mordent (where the first note is plucked, the upper note is a quick hammer-on and the lower is a pull-off)

(See attachment for a more detailed rendition; or the image)

So far, I came to this construct:

\version "2.20.0"
\new TabStaff  { \tabFullNotation
g\prall ^\markup { \path #0.2 #'((curveto 0 -0.5 0 2 1.5 0)  )} }

I wonder whether there's a more elegant solution?
