Articulations and ornaments
Hi everybody,
I copy a timpani score and I run into the sign attached. I know that this is an indication relative to the resonance of the note to which the sign is joined.
This sign does not exist in the palette.
Can You tell me how to insert it into my score.
Thank You in advance.
Best Regards.
Pierre

Have you searched for it in the symbols palette?
In reply to Have you searched for it in by Jojo-Schmitz
It's a "l.v." (laissez vibrer/ let ring) here for some notes
Type "lai" in the search of Symbols (Z shorcut)
But it's easiest to simply add and edit a slur.
Logically, it would be preferable to use an open tie. But a slur do the trick.
If you use this symbol a lot then you can create your own:
Set palettes to "Advanced" and go into Arpeggios and Glissandi. Hover over the symbols until you find a "Doit" and place it on a note. Double-click on the symbol that you have placed and then carefully experiment with dragging the handles until you have created the shape that you want. Now [Ctrl][Shift]-drag it onto the Arpeggios and Glissandi palette.

The only problem with underquark's method is that you have to have a custom workspace, not the advanced workspace for this to work.

Although the display of the attached image may be confusing, I continue to think that it is a "l.v.", indicated by an open tie (with a special shape here, I agree)
If I recall, "Doit" symbols are devoted to wind instruments.
For percussion, open ties are the way to go (see Elaine Gould / Behind Bars, p.290). But this is not implemented. The "open" slurs are.
So we must choose to get quickly closer to the image (and therefore, Doit does the trick), or consider that it is an "open" tie for percussion, and that one can get this (so, other trick) with an "open" slur.

In this context it is maybe helpful to remember that in handwritten music the difference between slur and tie is invisible. The distinction is not actually terribly important: If something looks like a slur and connects notes of equal pitch it is a tie. And vice versa. There are some exceptions but in practice you will have a hard time to come up with an example where it is clearly impossible to deduce the correct interpretation from the context.
I believe the main reason for designing them differently is to allow for ties underneath slurs without the two colliding (a situation one encounters frequently.

FWIW - I like the partial slur better, but it fails at the end of a system. The "doit" takes some patience, but works. From what I recall if one does not feel artistic an l.v in italics would do.
