There was a discussion about the layout of these when the symbol was introduced some year ago. If you can provide some references to well typeset scores and preferably some scanned images of what it should look like, I'm sure that the LilyPond implementors will be willing to change the layout or ad

Hi! First of all, congratulation for this nice and interesting software, that I'm trying to learn in order to free myself, in a near future, both from sibelius and finale! That's my problem: I want to reduce the size of one staff, in my case the piano staff, but the solution found in the docs ->

Just to avoid any risk of confusion, I hope that you have seen the caesura already available in LilyPond: \override BreathingSign #'text = #(make-musicglyph-markup "scripts-caesura") es8[ d] \breathe es[ f g f] | This is taken from the example breathing-sign.ly in the Reg

It's probably not very clear from the manual, but you can use the \with{...} feature together with both syntaxes for creating a new context: \new Staff \with {SOME SETTINGS} {MUSIC} and \context Staff = NAME \with {SOME SETTINGS} {MUSIC} So, in your example, you probably want to do PianoMD = { \c

Thank you for your help, the short explanation about kinds of syntaxes is very clear and helpful, but I've already tried to put somewhere else the \with {...} with no results. Anyway, I tried your solution putting \with after PianoMD, no more errors but the pdf doesn't have the staff reduced. T

Hi, Can someone tell me how to call the scripts? I know that there is stuff in the documentation about doing so, but a physical example would be better (such as how to basically get it to open a file and generate an output file with the changes). I would in particular like to know how to operate
