Re: handbell shake

sorry for the delay in response.

I have pulled out two versions of handbell shakes that I have used.

I think the second is a better one, because on the first one I had to keep reminding ringers that all the bells included in the arpeggio bracket were to be shaken.

I was experimenting with left and right padding on the trills in version 1, although my efforts are pretty experimental at this point.

Version 2 uses hidden notes to anchor the right hand end of the glissandos, which messes with the midi output in bar 8 where neither of the shaken notes is to be played on beat 4.

So, I still have some work to do to get both the print and audio to work to my satisfaction.

hope this helps.

Sue,
I noticed you had tried to use trills to make a shake in one of the
commented sections. How, did that work out for you? I couldn't
figure out how to adjust the height.

Also, I replaced line 85 (bass bell list) with:
c4*11/4 cs d e f g gs a bf b c cs
and got pretty good results. I'll be working on that soon. I found
scripts to automatically determine what notes were used in a
score, and another that plots them. But... it will be hard work.

Thanks,
Rick
