Hello,
I've just started using Lilypond after switching from Sibelius. Lilypond seems a lot quicker and the set out especially with lyrics is a lot better and easier to correct.
At the moment I have two questions...
When using spacer notes e.g.
<< { s4 f g g } // { r4 g g g } >>the rest is always printed above it's usual position. It would be understandable if there was a note that the rest was trying to avoid but there isn't anything but a spacer note. How do I get the rest to be it's original position. I know I can use b4\rest (this is acceptable but very time consuming in polyphonic music) but the this doesn't work if there is a multi-bar rest eg.
\time 3/1
<< { s1*0^\markup { \italic "Alla breve" } s\breve } \\ { R\breve. } >>the whole bar rest prints down and if I switch the argument
<< { R\breve. } \\ { s1*0^\markup { \italic "Alla breve" } s\breve } >>
the whole bar rest prints above it's regular position...so how do I get the whole bar rest to print in the regular position....
My second question...
Monteverdi usually ends his pieces with a longa note...
if I add the following regardless of time signature... I always get an extra bar printed at the end of the piece.
\partial \longa*1 e\longa
i've even tried... \partial 1*4 e\longa
this still overruns and starts a new bar....
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks again...
Trent
