Hello, everybody,
I'm trying to typeset the Sonata in A for violin and piano by César Franck, but I'm kind of new to Lilypond, and I would like to ask you if is it possible to do some things I would like to do. As I don't know if it's allowed or desirable to send attachments to the list, I've put in a web server an example of what I'd like to do: http://www.gtic.ssr.upm.es/dberjon/franck.png
1. Is there a way to typeset the half brackets printed in red on the example? They're used, as all of you know, to indicate that the notes in the bracket should be played with the left hand, so the player don't break his/her right hand trying to stretch it to play all what's written in the upper staff. ;) I don't know if they receive any proper name in English, sorry about that.
As far as I know, there is no builtin support for it. You may want to try something similar to http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/input/regression/out-www/collated-files.html#molecule-hacking.ly
2. How can I specify the font and size for the indications (The "molto dolce", in this case)? I've been reading the manual, but I've been unable to understand it. :(
If you just want to specify it for this particular text, I recommend to use the \markup{...} feature, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Text-markup.html For example, you could say _\markup{ \bold {molto dolce}}
If you want to do the same change to all text annotations in the score, it's better to set some properties, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Font-selection.html For example, you could say \property Voice.TextScript \override #'font-relative-size = #1 \property Voice.TextScript \override #'font-shape = #'italic and then just do d8_"molto dolce"
3. Is there a simple way to typeset in a smaller size both the soloist staff and all the objects contained or associated with it? I mean, as this would be the piano score, the violin part is provided only as a reference, and the pianist doesn't need to see a very big violin part, but I would like to extract that part for the particella for the violinist without having to change all font sizes and the rest of the objects.
Certainly, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/input/test/out-www/collated-files.html#staff-size.ly
4. How do I put dynamics affecting all the piano part, not only the upper or lower staff?
What do you mean? If you want dynamics typeset centered between the two staves, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/input/template/out-www/collated-files.html#piano-dynamics.ly
