Re: Multiple instances of same articulation/bowing on one note

[Michael Werner]

Hi Ahanu,

I would split things out into some variables, and put the articulations into separate contexts. I find it makes things much easier to keep track of. For example:

\version "2.24.0"
\language "english"

music = { g8 g g g }
upArticulation = { g8 g-\upbow g g }
downArticulation = { g8 g-\upbow g g }

<<
\new Dynamics
\upArticulation
\new Staff
\music
\new Dynamics
\downArticulation
>>

In a Dynamics context the entered music gives the durations, but the note heads aren't printed. So once the music is entered and checked, it can just be pasted into a new variable and the articulations added as needed.

I'm trying to put the same articulation both above and below one note. (My document has one set of bowings above the staff and an alternate set below the staff, and occasionally they both need the same marking.) 

The workaround I currently have is creating a second voice, which is a bit of a pain. Are there better solutions? Code below.

\version "2.24.0"

\language "english"

{ g8 g_\upbow ^\upbow g g % fails

  g8 g_\upbow ^\downbow g g % works

  % desired output:

  << { g8 g_\upbow g g } \\ { s s ^\upbow } >> }

Thanks,
