I'm trying to represent a harp technique where two
adjacent notes are struck at the same time and the
lower of the two is immediately dampened.
I tried to create a chord with only the first (lower)
note marked as staccato, but the output showed
the staccato dot over the second, higher note
(indicating, I assume, that both should be played
staccato):
<bes \staccato c> % dot shows over c.
Is there any way to show a staccato dot just over
the B flat while still having the C share the
same stem?
Is the attached output what you want?
It was achieved by writing
\once \override Script.X-offset = -0.5
You have to know that what you describe just is no regular notation (I
can't imagine differently articulated notes in a chord at all), so you
have to expect a slightly irregular solution.
overridinng Y-offset too you can also shift the dot vertically.
Alternatively you can experiment with
\once \override Script.extra-offset = #'(-1.2 . -0.2)
But please note that all of these tweaks are quite specific and won't
necessarily behave well when the layout changes (e.g. beaming direction).
