Re: Fwd: Scoop and bend

[Paul Scott]

This is what I use for scoop that I probably got from this list a number of years ago.

#(define (scoop-stencil grob)
  (ly:stencil-combine-at-edge
   (ly:note-head::print grob) 0 -1
   (grob-interpret-markup grob
    (markup #:with-dimensions '(0 . 0) '(0 . 0)
     #:translate '( -2 . -2) #:musicglyph "brackettips.up" )) 0 )
)

scoop = \once \override NoteHead.stencil = #scoop-stencil

music = \fixed c'' { \scoop c2 r }

HTH,

Paul

Hi all, I’ve recently been type-setting some saxophone parts that employ quite a lot of glissandi, note-bends, falls, and scoops. Lilypond has the glissando and fall (bendAfter) covered, but I’m struggling to find a good solution for scoop (basically “bendBefore”) or bend (in the originals this is indicated like a glissando down a tone and back to the same note). A hand-drawn example is attached.

I managed something passable using hidden grace-notes and adjusting the slur offset, but the appearance isn’t ideal and seems sensitive to the overall score spacing. Not to mention that it adds bizarre notes to the midi output. Any suggestions for something more robust would be appreciated.

Thanks

Oops. Forgot to copy the list.

I would love to see this as well!

All the best,
