hi, I'm using lilypond 2.2.5 on a debian box, and although I've stumbled through the basics of lilypond, I have a few problems:
----- I am unable to put page breaks exactly where I want them. I'm trying to replicate a printed score as faithfully as possible, and although "\break" seems to be working correctly, "\newpage" does not always put in a page break. If I make the font smaller, an extra system will creep onto the first page (after the page break). If I make the font larger, the first page is okay, but there's only a single system on the second page (there should be three, and there is certainly room for two with the larger font) Is this a common problem? Is "\newpage" a suggestion to lilypond/TeX that does not necessarily need to be followed? Is there something like \noBreak for \newpage ? (\noNewpage ?) ----- I also have a tie across chords and would like just one tie for all the notes. The doc on "Ties" references a "input/regression/tie-chord-partial.ly" that is exactly what I want: "For tying only a subset of the note heads of a pair of chords". Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it at the link given <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/input/regression/out-www/collated-files.html#tie-c hord-partial.ly> ----- I tried to put some italic and bold text in the "Header" section, but that didn't seem to work. I (ab)used the "poet" field to put some text on the LHS, and found out about subtitle and subsubtitle; simple tweaks are nice, but is there a way to have more control over the header layout without having to insert the liypond doc into a separate TeX file? ----- Is there an IRC channel for lilypond? ----- That's probably more than enough questions in one email... thanks! - Robinson P.S. if seeing my .ly files would help you answer my questions, I'll gladly cut them down and send them along. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
