I am arranging a chart where I have whole notes in a measure and I would like to start at forte and decrescendo to mezzo-forte (or whatever). The problem is the measure comes out short:
I would like it to be longer so the decrescendo is a bit more prominent. I tried putting in silent quarters thinking it might do the trick:
df2\mf df\<|\time 3/2 df df(f)\!|\time 2/2 <<{f1}{s4\f\>s4 s4 s4}>>\breathe|f2\mf c|c ef\<|
Is there a way I can specify the length of the measure or otherwise make it longer?
Thanks,
