A pickup is entered with the keyword \partial
. It
is followed by a duration: \partial 4
is a quarter note upstep
and \partial 8
an eighth note
\partial 8 f8 c2 d e
Tuplets are made with the \times
keyword. It takes two
arguments: a fraction and a piece of music. The duration of the piece
of music is multiplied by the fraction. Triplets make notes occupy
2/3 of their notated duration, so a triplet has 2/3 as its fraction
\times 2/3 { f8 g a } \times 2/3 { c r c }
Grace notes are also made by prefixing a music expression with the
keyword \appoggiatura
or \acciaccatura
c4 \appoggiatura b16 c4 c4 \acciaccatura b16 c4
