Derek: No ignorance. I have been working with Lilypond for about six months and most of the little that I know is from experimentation and the help of others in the group.
My solution was gotten with a little experimentation. Since the \sustainOff works when it is in the voice that started it, my suggested trial and error would be to have << {\sustainOn %first measure, second measure \sustainOff } \\ { %first measure, second measure } >>. Then repeat this pattern for each successive pairs of measures. This may or may not be the most elegant or efficient means. It is the one that makes sense to me. Another learned item is that when doing explicit voices, i.e., using << and >>, putting the higher voice first and the lower voice second seems, up to now, to work more smoothly.

Please forgive my ignorance but I am not sure I can wrap it down to a minimal full example, I still haven't sorted out how to make files without the template wizard. It is just the piano part of a vocal score. The actual points in the score where the pedal markings appear are correct (see attached image starting bar 7 ending bar 8) <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n141355/Screen_Shot_2013-02-24_a t_7.16.10_PM.png> it is just the warnings keep adding up. Once again forgive me, if I misunderstand the move you suggest. The sustain off is required at the end of the following bar and it only has one voice none of the <<{}\\{}>> stuff. From what I have read it seems this happens with cross voice type things. One suggestion was to add empty voices but then that muddles with the stems and the rests get raised or lowered and things like that. I also have the same issue with slur that go cross voice and by that i mean one bar has the <<{}\\{}>> whilst the following bar doesn't. Another solution I have read is to give the pedal marking their own stave so to speak so they are separated from the music but I still haven't figured out how to do that either. I am on like day two of using lilypond so I am still on the learning curve. Seems fantastic so far I just need to understand it a bit more -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/sustain-pedal-warnings-tp141351p141355 .html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
