RE: Question about abbreviations

Provided you use a recent version of Lilypond, e.g. 2.20.0, the pitch is carried forward from the previous note and you can write c4. 8 4.

Subject: Question about abbreviations

 

Hello,

 

I don't know if this is possible in Lilypond, so I'm asking the experts... In a bar of 3/4 time I might have, say: c4. c8 c4 - a very standard rhythm.  I remember once that in a score-writing system I used years ago, this could be abbreviated as c>c c.  I know that < > are used in Lilypond for chords - but is some other similar abbreviation possible?

 

Thanks,

Alasdair
