I will check this out soon and try to contribute to making it visible in the documentation. 2. How can I have slurs or ties go from the measure before endings go into both endings.

Re: Printing numbers instead of notes
Hi, One possibility is to attach the numbers as text scripts to invisible note heads. The attached file could be used as a starting point. It's probably possible to use the tablature mechanism as well. /Mats Carlos Betancourt wrote: Hello lilyponders, I'm trying to transcribe my teacher's solfegio class notes into latex using lilypond-book.

Adding text to multi-measure rest
What objects can I attach text like: ^#'((bold "To B. Cl.")) to? In this case there are no notes to attach to. What I want it above is R1*8 R1*3. TIA, Paul Scott ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: no rests in tablature?
In tab, timing is remoted from the indications of notes: the timing is relegated to the stems above the letters. Each stem indicates how long it will be before the next stem (or implicit stem, since tabs often leave off repeated time-value stems). There is no indication of when a note is supposed to be held or released. While it might be nice to have that ability, using rests in the lines of the tab staff is not a nice way to do it. Rests are sometimes notated by stems that have no letters under them, and this is generally a better solution anyway, since the timing-attention of the player is focused above the staff, while the translate-letters-to-fret-closings attention is focused in the lines of the staff. To be forthright, if your music is complex to the point where you need to indicate rests, you probably should be using regular music notation, which affords considerably more control over note-length and release indications. For everything you gain in the world, you lose something. raybro Karl Berry wrote: > > > In lilypond 1.6.6 (and earlier), it seems that rests are not output in > > tablature.

In this case there are no notes to attach to. What I want it above is R1*8 R1*3. R1*3 Ah! That reminder should open a lot of possibilities. Ok. It gives me something musically correct but divides the R1*8 into an r1 followed by an R1*7. I can live with that since I have a rehearsal in a few hours but I'm curious to know if I can't get exactly what I want. What I tried was: < {R1*8} { s1^#"To B. Cl." } > R1*3 I added the braces after the first try divided the R1*8 into r1 + R1*7 You might even be able to do R1*8^#"blah" directly, but I'm not certain. I tried that and it didn't work with 1.6.4. The text just wasn't visible. I know that the space (s1) method works. Of course without the < > the s1 doesn't work. I tried that also.
