How to have prall lines and trills attached to a single voice ?

• Aug 20, 2024 - 13:06

Prall and trill lines seem always attached to voice 1. And applies (when played) to all the voices of the bar.
Is there a way of attaching them only to a specific voice ?
And is it possible to make it small (following the chord "small" properties, or alternatively force it to be small) ?
My concern is more about layout and visual rendering than audio rendering. But a correct audio rendering could also be nice.

My trick for now is to capture and existing prall line on a small staff in SVG (thanks MU3.6!) and drop it on the desired note. But this is a tedious operation.

MU4.3.2 and MU3.7. Both have the same behaviour. A trill/prall line is always set on voice 1 and always applies to all the voices.

Attached, a quick demo with MU4.3.2:
* Impossible to have the trill line applying only to the second voice.
* Impossible to have the trill line smaller (following the cue size properties, of set smaller manually).

A quick test provides the answers (3.x): No, and no. "Have a nice day"
Consider forming a github feature request for a small option (maybe 50%)

For audio purposes, alternatively use trill/prall ornaments since they be respectin' the voicings
