Thanks for that tip Scott. Would you happen to know also how I can change the type-face for the chord names? My band find it rather difficult to read the font lilypond uses automatically for chord names when sightreading - a sans serif font of some kind I think would be easier to scan at speed.

Re: More questions...
I'm sending the answer to the mailing list, since it may
be of general interest. I hope you don't feel offended.
All you who "improved" the Reference manual before the release
of 1.6.0, please keep reading!
In general, please keep questions on the mailing list, for
the benefit of yourself since you get access to the collected
expertise on the list and for the benefit of others who have
similar questions.

This used to be described in the reference manual, but the
whole section on lyrics in the reference manual has dissapeared!
Why?
The simple principle is that contexts are drawn in the order they
are defined in the score. Because of the syntax of the \addlyrics
command, \addlyrics copyRhythmFrom copyRhythmTo, where
copyRhythmFrom and copyRhythmTo are any kind of musical expressions,
the lyrics comes after the corresponding music, unless you define
the contexts before you do the \addlyrics as you describe above.
The template input/template/satb.ly might be useful.
> Also, is there an override to set the position of lyrics by hand?
See above!

PS output looks like junk
I'm just wondering, Are you using tetex, and is it configured to output PS higher than 300dpi??? That could be an explanation as to why the notes output dotty. . . . You can change this configuration using the texconfig utility. . . .(if you are running under *nix enviroments. . . . ) ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Alignment with lilypond-book 1.6.5
Hi.
What is happened with alignment in lilypond-book 1.6.5?
With 1.6.4, the code
\begin{lilypond}
...
\end{lilypond}
in a .tex file gave a score with staves right aligned (like ly2dvi 1.6.4
or 1.6.5). Now, the same code, gives me a score with staves center
aligned.
Moreover, for each score I have, for example,
(lily-265840193.tex (/usr/local/texmf/tex/lilypond/lilyponddefs.tex)
Overfull \hbox (17.62363pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 441--512
[][]
)
What is happening?

Multi-measure rests
It doesn't seem to be possible to attach articulations to multi-measure
rests.
Is this by design? Although it is possible to work around this by using
skips.

voices
Hi-
Why does Lilypond try to "join" voices? Sorry I don't have a better way
to explain it- but, for example, a quarter-note/crotchet in one voice
that occurs at the beginning of a run of eighth-notes/quavers will
apparently cause the first quaver to become a crotchet, which doesn't
seem to make much sense.
I think of the Voice context as independent lines of counterpoint; is
that incorrect?
Thanks,
Hans

Alignment with lilypond-book 1.6.5
Hi.
The code
\begin{lilypond}
...
\end{lilypond}
in a .tex file gives a score with staves center aligned. With
lilypond-book 1.6.4 (and with ly2dvi 1.6.4 or 1.6.5), the staves were
right aligned. Moreover, they produce an Overfull hbox. What is happened?

Hello,
I think I figured out what happened:
Since I just had installed the new TeXLive 7 distribution on my PC, I
wanted to keep that as my default.
Therefore I tried quite hard to have the teTeX and LiveTeX distributions
coexist.
Today I re-installed tetex-tiny several times (due to clashes of
environment variables (TEXMFCNF) settings there where some problems),
until it produced proper output. Now the spacing looks perfect.
I had thaught that lilypond already takes care of the proper spacing and
LaTeX only does the typesetting, but the two programs are much more
interwoven.
So the solution will likely be to keep a subset of the teTeX-tiny
package -- just latex.{fmt,exe} and the kpathsea-related programs and of
course a proper texmf.cnf file, which points to the proper directory
trees in the TeXLive branch. Or maybe I switch over from LiveTeX to
teTeX. (Since I have Win2k and Redhat linux on my PC, I would prefer to
use a common distribution).
Thanks for your valuable hints!
Alois

more voices
Sorry, I think I understand- the default is to name all of the voices the same, so lilypond treats both voices as one. This default behaviour seems odd, though. If I'm entering note data in two separate bracketed-voice-contexts, why assume that it's the same Voice?

Key sigs & repeats
Hi,
I have compiled up Lilypond 1.6.4 and am having a great time.
It's brill.
However, I'm having a few formatting problems, which I'm trying to isolate.
More of that later...
However, I have a repeat section following another repeat section:
e.g.
\repeat volta 2 { blah blah }
\repeat volta 2 { \key bes \major blah blah }
The key change appears between the previous repeat-end marker and the next
repeat start marker.
I've not seen this representation before, as I would have expected the
key-sig to appear at the beginning of the first bar of the second repeat
section.
Is this normal behaviour or is it common-place is some circles.
If it is, is there a way of altering this behaviour?
Secondly, I have a grace note at the beginning of a bar following a repeated
section and it is shoved (rather unceremoniously) into the preceding bar
(the last bar of the repeat). Has anybody seen this before?
Most obliged.
Keep up the good work!
Regards,
Ralph
