All,
I am soooo close LOL - I'm trying to replicate this:
which comes from Faure's famous
Impromptu, Op. 86, for harp. I had to use \change Staff to get
the notated arpeggio beamed as in the Faure, but that kills some
of the ties. The code below shows what I can do with my present
knowledge:
HarpA gets the ties for the lower staff (and incidentally puts the decrescendo between the staves)
HarpB gets the ties for the upper staff
(but puts the decrescendo outside the staves). The primary
difference in these two is that the \change Staff commands are
switched between upper and lower staff
HarpC combines the code for the two staves, but duplicate pitches result (of course)
HarpD uses s in the code to attempt to
eliminate the duplicated pitches, but this breaks the continuous
beaming across the staves and LP tosses an error for each s with
a ~.
As I said, so close.
It'd be nice to have that phrasing slur,
too (again, the \change Staff appears to break things, though
I've not dug too deeply for that as yet for concentrating on
getting the ties).
I know some of you have far more extensive
experience with complicated piano scores, so before I dig into
the Notation Reference I thought it worth a query to you to see
if you have LP code that does this.
Regards.
