I'm trying to parse the piano-dynamics example (for the 1.4 series,
posted last month). I'm confused by this section:
dynamics = \notes {
\outputproperty #(make-type-checker 'dynamic-interface)
#'extra-offset = #'(0 . 2.5)
s2\fff\> s4
\outputproperty #(make-type-checker 'dynamic-interface)
#'extra-offset = #'(0 . 2.5)
\!s\pp
}
Specifically, what are the skips (s's) doing in this context? Taking
out the first s2 causes a syntax error. Making it into s16 doesn't
affect the place of the \fff, but seems to make the descrendo shorter.
Changing the second s to an s2 seems to make everything a little
shorter. I'm sure this is something obvious, but I just don't quite
get it.
Thanks,
rif
