Hello lilypond-users. I'd like to engrave rounds with LilyPond 2.13 in a part-parallel format similar to this:
http://www.archive.org/stream/nationalsongbook00stan#page/n255/mode/2up Although this looks simple compared to a lot of the crazy stuff in the snippet repository, there is a problem that I don't know how to solve: sometimes ties, slurs, or word hyphens/extenders have to stretch from the end of one staff to the beginning of the next, as though the staves were sequential instead of parallel. (See "She Weepeth Sore", above, for an example). Logically they are sequential, of course, but I have to tell LilyPond they're parallel to make the notes line up. Is there any way to solve this? I don't want to turn on strict note spacing since it would uglify the score. The best idea I've had is to render three consecutive copies of the piece (with the parts rotating) and then somehow drop the first and third copies late in the rendering process. But that would introduce a bunch of gunk into the source file that's unrelated to the logical structure of the piece, it would generate spurious warnings for ties and dashes at the end of the third copy, LilyPond wouldn't know that the last system is really the last so ragged-last options probably wouldn't work, etc. Is there a more elegant solution? Thanks, -- Ben _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
