(Oops, I forgot to attach the code) Hellow, I am using lilypond 1.5.71 on windows machine. I would like to ask for your experiences concerning manual line breaking and fingering placement, 1. How can I break to a new line just before a grace note? (See the example below in the upper voice. If I quote the grace note away, everything goes fine. For now, it seems to be unable to start a new line with a grace note.)
2. How can I put the fingering indication not only above or bellow a note but also beside it? (This happens sometimes if I want to finger for every note in an arpeggio.) 3. For guitar player, sometimes string indication is needed. It is shown by a circle around the string number above or bellow a note. How do I draw this? In the example I used text markup to put "(2)" (B string) above fis8. But it's not really as desired as convention. I would appreciate any hint from you, -Minh. <code here> \version "1.5.71.jcn2" \include "paper16.ly" \score { \notes \relative c''' \sequential { \property Staff.midiInstrument = "acoustic guitar (nylon)" \time 6/8 \key e \major \property Staff.NoteCollision \override #'merge-differently-dotted = ##t \context Staff < \context Voice = VA { \stemUp a4 fis8^#"(2)" [dis8^#'(lines "II" " ") e8.^#'(lines "I" " ") gis16-4] %| gis4-4 fis8^#'(lines "II" " ") fis4 r8 | \break %1 grace <fis8^#"II" \arpeggio cis8 a8 fis8 cis8 fis,8> %doesn't work well cis'8.-4^#'(lines "IX" " ") dis16-4 dis8-4 dis4-4 cis8 %| [b8.-1^#'(lines "VII" " ") \grace cis8()e16-4 e8] e4-4 e16-4( \glissando )fis16-4 \break %2 } \context Voice = VB { \stemDown [a,16-2 fis,16_1 b16_1 dis16_1 fis16-4 b,16_1] [fis16-4_3 a16_1 gis16_1 b16_0 gis16 gis'16] %| [e,16_2 b'16_0 gis16_1 b16_0 fis'16-1 cis16-1] [fis,,16-1 cis'16 fis16 a16 fis16 cis16] | \break %1 [cis'16_3 e16-1 gis16-1 dis'16 dis16 a16-2] [b,16_1 fis'16-3 a16-2 dis16 cis16-4 b,16-0] %| [b8_3 <b8_#'(lines "1" "2" "3") \arpeggio dis8 fis8 b8> e'16 gis,16-1] [b,16_1 e16-1 gis16-1 e16-1] r8 \break %2 } > } \midi { \tempo 4=64 } \paper { textheight = 270.0\mm linewidth = 180.0\mm } } __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
