Mike already showed you how to do it: 1) create a new file (e.g. stylesheet.ly) which only contains a layout block where you declare your overrides, i.e.: \layout { \context { \Score \overrideTimeSignatureSettings 4/4 % timeSignatureFraction 1/4 % baseMomentFraction #'(3 1) % beatStructure #'() % beamExceptions } }
2) Include stylesheet.ly in your current file: \version "2.17.95" \include "stylesheet.ly" \score { \new Staff { \relative c' { \time 4/4 \repeat unfold 8 { c8 } | } } } That's it! hth patrick _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
