Certainly! Read the section on 'Invisible grobs' in the reference
manual (in chapter 'Tuning Output').

auto-accidentals in different octaves

2002-03-11 Thread Glen Coates

Hi .. I've just started using Lilypond in conjunction with NoteEdit and
I'm very impressed so far, however one little thing is annoying me.  If I
put an accidental in a bar, lets say high Db, then LP automatically puts a
flat in front of the D's in other octaves, which as any musician will tell
you is not what is automatically implied.  True, some people will
explicitly put a natural in front of other octave D's to emphasise that
they are in fact natural, but LP is making the wrong assumption here.  Is
there any way to turn off this behaviour?

Cheers,
Glen

If this is really true then you have found a bug, but I assume that you made a 
typo and that you meant Db's instead of D's (or did you mean "natural sign" 
instead of "flat"?)

No, this is definitely not true - I know a lot of musicians - and we ALL agree 
that accidentals needs to be repeaten in new octaves.
Kurt Stone has more on 20th century common notation - and he also states this.

You don't state which Lily you use.
In 1.4.anything there's not much you can do. I don't think it's possible to 
turn off the auto-accidentals - and if you remove the accidental engraver 
completelhy I don't even think that explicit accidentals are typeset.
In 1.5.enough you can add
\property Score.autoAccidentals = #'((measure-any-octave . 0))
(Syntax about to change - as soon as I get time)
to the start of the music. measure-any-octave means that the accidentals are 
remembered for a number of measures and in all octaves. 0 means that 
they "survive" over 0 bar lines. That is: They die at the end of the measure.
If you wan't to turn off automatical accidentals (and place them yourself 
with ! and ?) then use
\property Score.autoAccidentals = \turnOff

Is it possible to make (untested)

\score {
 \notes
 <
  \context Staff = sup <
\clef G
\context Voice = vone { a' c'' e'' e'' }
  >
  \context Staff = sdown <
\clef F
\context Voice = vtwo { a a \translator Staff = sup a' a' }
\context Voice = vthree { f f f f, }   
  >
 >
}


typeset as (also untested)

\score {
 \notes
 <
  \context Staff = sup <
\clef G
\context Voice = vone { a' c'' \stemUp e'' e'' }
  >
  \context Staff = sdown <
\clef F
\context Voice = vtwo
  { \stemUp a a \translator Staff = sup \stemDown a' a' }
\context Voice = vthree { \stemDown f f \stemBoth f f, }   
  >
 >
}

without specifying the stemUp, etc, within the score?

Is it possible to make Staff-crossing voices using the voicify-scm-function?

(cc'ing devel because I assume that the answer is "no")
