Re: trill spanner over whole note

[Molly Preston]

I don't want it through the end of the score. I just want it through the end of the next measure.

Hello,

Tie and crescendo are not working because the << \\ >>
construct instantiates new, dedicated voices. More
information is at

To let the trill spanner extend to the end of the
score, just never end it.

\version "2.22.0"

\new Staff {
   r2 r4 c'~\startTrillSpan |
   c'1 \< |
   d'1\f  |
}
