Hello all,
I plan to work on the emplementation of bends for lilypond. Some
preliminary
tests with scheme were successful, so I want to go to the next stage
soon and
create some new engravers. But there are still some unsolved issues.
But first, a brief explanation for all non-guitarists out there:
a band is achieved by pressing down a string and moving it along the
frets.
The string gets bend, and the resulting tone gets higher. There are three
variants:
1) the bend (or bend up): plucking the string, then doing the bend
2) release bend: plucking a already bent string. Sounds like a reverse
bend.
3) pre bend: bend the unplucked string, pluck afterwards. Mostly (but
not always)
followed by a release bend.
