2.1.9 Chants psalms and hymns
I've just pushed these changes:
- "To remove the stem set the transparent property of the Stem
grob to
#t... An alternative is set the length property to 0."
Please don't talk through the code. I'm a stupid reader and can't
follow that stuff. I understand @lilypond and pretty pictures.
Done
- "To use modified bar lines see the Bar lines section in Bars."
please just @ref{Bar lines}.
Done
In general, I think that all 4 items in Chants need @lilypond, and
would be better being outwith (sweet, I'm using British-specific
words
now!) of any "References for chants and psalms". All four items
are
too complicated / too specific to be well-explained by those
references.
Done
Actually, "outwith" is peculiar to Scots. I understand it,
but would never use it myself.
I'm also wondering if there should be a dedicated Chant \include
"chant.ly" which sets up these things, like \include
"gregorian.ly".
Of course, that brings us to the ly/ cleanup, whose issue number I
can't find within 2 minutes, but has definitely been desired since
before GDP and won't be happening in the near future.
I started on this, but there are so many different
styles in published psalters, usually unnamed, that
I don't think this would be possible. Instead I've
chosen to show how to include (or exclude) various
elements so users can pick and chose what they want.
Pointing a psalm
- I got a bit lost here. Could you add a @lilypond to illustrate
some
(or all) of those points (no pun intended)?
Well, I tried to include all the elements in the new
template - A.4.7 Psalms. See if this does what you
want. I guess I could pick out several of them and
show them separately. I'll do that in a separate
commit.
Cheers,
- Graham
