A cluster indicates a continuous range of pitches to be played. They
can be denoted as the envelope of a set of notes. They are entered by
applying the function notes-to-clusters
to a sequence of
chords, e.g.
\apply #notes-to-clusters { <c e > <b f'> }
The following example (from input/regression/cluster.ly) shows what the result looks like
Ordinary notes and clusters can be put together in the same staff, even simultaneously. In such a case no attempt is made to automatically avoid collisions between ordinary notes and clusters.
Program reference: ClusterSpanner, ClusterSpannerBeacon, Cluster_spanner_engraver, and ClusterNoteEvent.
Examples: input/regression/cluster.ly.
Music expressions like << { g8 e8 } a4 >>
are not printed
accurately. Use <g a>8 <e a>8
instead.
