hello Laura,
you can change the number of lines in the Staff so that some of them appear
to be thicker. You do this by modifying the *line-positions* property of the
Staff's StaffSymbol layout object.
For example, if you want to make the middle line appear to be thicker you
can make a 7 line staff with the inner 3 lines very very close to each other
like so:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.11.22"
\score {
\new Staff{
\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-positions =#'(-4 -2 -0.2 0 0.2 2 4 )
d'4 e' f' g'
}
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%Notice that the position of the "ornamental" staff lines are 0.2 units away from the middle line (0), while the rest of the lines are 2 units apart, as is normally the case. Attached is an images of the result. You can play around with the number of lines and their distances till you get what you want. Hope this helps, Victor.

I'm discussing a project with a friend. He would like to make some pedagogical material on reading different clefs. His idea is that if he had a Grand Staff with 11 lines (the four for the bass and treble clefs, plus the one for Middle C in between them), and if he could make any set of 5 of them darker, then he could show how the same notes print in treble clef, bass clef, and various C, G, and F clefs. I have found in the documentation how to modify the number of lines on the staff, and the thickness of ledger lines. There is obviously a way to make all the staff lines a different color, e.g., red. But is there a way to make some staff lines a different color (or thickness, or shade of grey) from others? Or should one fiddle with having several staves only one staff space away from each other? -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (501) 641-5011 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
