Re: Cry for help - lost plot ....

[Giles Boardman]

Thanks Kieren - I take it a couple of dozen expressions is good and one is bad 😉

Both snippets are really helpful. Though I'm a bit concerned about the ton of 
other issues you mention, I'll happily take the one that works for now, though 
my fried brain is still struggling a bit. The other one with the justified 
lines anticipates where I'll get to next - I love the left justified single 
bars (though being able to put multiple columns side by side without them 
thinking they were continuous music would be even more awesome, and very 
elegant imho) but eventually one bar just won't be enough and I'll want 
multiple lines elegantly spaced, just like this.

And it's such fun too, apart from the hair tearing.

Thanks again

Giles

Hi Giles,

Are you looking for something like this?

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.24.3"

\paper {
  score-system-spacing.padding = #6
}

\layout {
  indent = 0
  ragged-right = ##f
  \context {
    \Score
    \override RehearsalMark.padding = #3
  }
}

\score {
  { \mark "ON079-1a-_01" \key c\major \time 9/8 a''8 b''8 a''8 g''4 e''8 d''4 
d''8 }
}
\score {
  { \mark "ON079-1a-_02" \key c\major \time 9/8 a'8 a'8 a'8 d''4 d''8 e''8 f''8 
g''8 }
}
\score {
  { \mark "ON079-1a-_03" \key c\major \time 9/8 a''8 b''8 a''8 g''4 e''8 d''4 
f''8 }
}
%%%  SNIPPET ENDS

This “works”:

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.24.3"

\score {
  {
    \mark "ON079-1a-_01" \key c\major \time 9/8 a''8 b''8 a''8 g''4 e''8 d''4 
d''8
    \mark "ON079-1a-_02" \key c\major \time 9/8 a'8 a'8 a'8 d''4 d''8 e''8 f''8 
g''8
    \mark "ON079-1a-_03" \key c\major \time 9/8 a''8 b''8 a''8 g''4 e''8 d''4 
f''8
  }
  \layout { }
  \midi { }
}
%%%  SNIPPET ENDS
[Of course, this introduces a whole bunch of other issues… but it “works”!]

> - can you tell me what Lilypond is objecting to?

Your \score block contains about two dozen music expressions.  ;)
Wrapping that whole chunk in {} reduces it to a single music expression.

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
