Falls and doits can be added to notes using
the \bendAfter
command. The direction of the fall or doit
is indicated with a plus or minus (up or down). The number
indicates the pitch interval that the fall or doit will extend
beyond the main note.
c2-\bendAfter #+4 c2-\bendAfter #-4 c2-\bendAfter #+8 c2-\bendAfter #-8
The dash -
immediately preceding the \bendAfter
command is required when writing falls and doits.
Adjusting the shape of falls and doits
The shortest-duration-space
property may have to be tweaked to
adjust the shape of falls and doits.
