Ornaments (trills, appoggiaturas, etc.)
Moved from https://github.com/alda-lang/alda/issues/180.
From an anonymous comment on my blog post introducing Alda:
- decorators to realize ornaments like trills, mordents, turns, appogiaturas, acciaccaturas, glissandos, ...
Opening this issue as a starting point for discussion on how we can do this, or whether we should do it at all.
My 2¢: I'd like to try and keep the syntax of the language as simple as possible. If we can implement a new feature by introducing a new
alda.lisp
function, we should prefer to do it that way, vs. introducing a new literal syntax.
