References for wind instruments

Many notation issues for wind instruments pertain to breathing and tonguing:

• Breathing can be specified by rests or Signes de respiration.
• Legato playing is indicated by Liaisons d’articulation.
• Different types of tonguings, ranging from legato to non-legato to staccato are usually shown by articulation marks, sometimes combined with slurs, see Articulations et ornements and List of articulations.
• Flutter tonguing is usually indicated by placing a tremolo mark and a text markup on the note. See Répétitions en trémolo.

Other aspects of musical notation that can apply to wind instruments:

• Many wind instruments are transposing instruments, see Instruments transpositeurs.
• The slide glissando are characteristic of the trombone, but other winds may perform keyed or valved glissandi. See Glissando.
• Harmonic series glissandi, which are possible on all brass instruments but common for French Horns, are usually written out as Notes d’ornement.
• Pitch inflections at the end of a note are discussed in Chutes et sauts.
• Key slaps or valve slaps are often shown by the cross style of Têtes de note spécifiques.
• Woodwinds can overblow low notes to sound harmonics. These are shown by the flageolet articulation. See List of articulations.
• The use of brass mutes is usually indicated by a text markup, but where there are many rapid changes it is better to use the stopped and open articulations. See Articulations et ornements and List of articulations.
• Stopped horns are indicated by the stopped articulation. See Articulations et ornements.

Changing \flageolet mark size

To make the \flageolet circle smaller use the following Scheme function.

smallFlageolet =
#(let ((m (make-articulation "flageolet")))
   (set! (ly:music-property m 'tweaks)
         (acons 'font-size -3
                (ly:music-property m 'tweaks)))
   m)

\layout { ragged-right = ##f }

\relative c'' {
  d4^\flageolet_\markup { default size } d_\flageolet
  c4^\smallFlageolet_\markup { smaller } c_\smallFlageolet
}

Fingerings

All wind instruments other than the trombone require the use of several fingers to produce each pitch. Some fingering examples are shown in the snippets below.

Woodwind diagrams can be produced and are described in Woodwind diagrams.

Fingering symbols for wind instruments

Special symbols can be achieved by combining existing glyphs, which is useful for wind instruments.

centermarkup = {
  \once \override TextScript #'self-alignment-X = #CENTER
  \once \override TextScript #'X-offset =#(ly:make-simple-closure
    `(,+
      ,(ly:make-simple-closure (list
        ly:self-alignment-interface::centered-on-x-parent))
      ,(ly:make-simple-closure (list
        ly:self-alignment-interface::x-aligned-on-self))))
}
\score
{\relative c'
  {
    g\open
    \once \override TextScript #'staff-padding = #-1.0 \centermarkup
    g^\markup{\combine \musicglyph #"scripts.open" \musicglyph
    #"scripts.tenuto"}
    \centermarkup g^\markup{\combine \musicglyph #"scripts.open"
    \musicglyph #"scripts.stopped"}
    g\stopped
  }
}

Recorder fingering chart

The following example demonstrates how fingering charts for wind instruments can be realized.
