Re: Slurs in volta alternate bars

[Knute Snortum]

Great ideas, guys.  Thanks.

I have a question about tweaking the X-extent.  My understanding is that the pair (0 . 5) means start where you normally would and extend out five spaces (or note heads, the units don't matter to me).  But when I do this:

  { df4) r f' -\tweak X-extent #'(0 . 5) \laissezVibrer }

...the Laissez Vibrer slur shape doesn't stretch.  The slur takes up more space (and pushes the repeat sign to the right) but the slur shape stays the same.  Do I need to use the \shape command or am I misunderstanding the X-extent property?

Knute,

Nick has it right. Here's a customized snippet I took from the NR that looks like what you are wanting (works with slurs, too, as shown here):

c1
\repeat volta 2 { c4 d e f ( }
\alternative {
  { f2 ) d\laissezVibrer }
  { f2\repeatTie f, }
}

That should at least give you a place to start.

HTH,

Abraham

I have a situation where I need a slur to go into the second alternate bar of a repeat, and I need a slur out of the first.  Attached is how it should look.

​The d-flat in the first alternate bar gets a slurs as it should, but the d-flat in the second alternate does not. (These slurs show that the d-flats are part of a larger phrase.)  Also, the f in the first alternate needs a slur to show it's attached to the beginning of the phrase in the first note of the repeat.

I don't know how to produce the slurs on the f and the second d-flat.  Any ideas?

Knute,

Have you tried using laissez vibrer and repeat ties? You might have to alter the X-extent, but they should be able to accomplish the same effect.
