I'd like to increase the spacing between two notes, to accommodate a fall. I've checked "spacing" issues in the Notation Reference and in the snippet repository, but can't find anything that will increase the distance between just two notes.

After working with helpful suggestions from Urs Liska and Simon Albrecht, I came up with the following, which seems to be as close as I can come to the original. I added a partial spacer rest (s).

%%%%%%%%%% start snippet %%%%%%%

  

\version "2.19.50"

\include "english.ly"

 

fallTest =

%\relative c' 

{

  \clef treble

  \key d \major

  \time 4/4  

  

  e4 e 

  \override BendAfter.springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods

  d4*3/4-\tweak minimum-length 2 -\bendAfter #-3 s4*1/4

  \once \override NoteColumn.X-offset = 3.5 

  cs8 e~ |

}

 

\score {

  \fallTest

}

 

%%%%%%% end snippet %%%%%%%
