Can't get the voices right with \stemUp and \stemDown
Hello all,
Trying to write a piece for 4 voices choir, I'm stuck with
the problem that the stems won't stand in the right direction.
Wherever I put those \stemUp en \stemDown commands, they just
don't seem to have the desired effect.
I want the sopranos and the tenors have their stem up, and the
altos and basses stem down. Hoping that then the slurs will
come out fine too (finally).
The music consists of 4 files:
main file,
header file,
melodies file,
texts file
as copy/pasted below.
Would somebody be able to give me the solution?
Thanks a lot.

Re: Can't get the voices right with \stemUp and \stemDown
If you want individual settings for the different voices,
simply use a separate Voice context for each of them.
I recommend to take a look at the template file satb.ly
(found at www.lilypond.org or in /usr/share/doc/lilypond/input/templates/
on your local installation).

Yes, I just found out a short while ago that I needed to put the
\stemDown *inside* the \grace group.
Now I'm trying to get some other problems fixed. I need to adjust some
stem length on beamed notes but I have not found any examples to study.
In the fragment at the bottom I would like to do some additional things.
1) Force a bracket over the 5-plet.
2) Lengthen the stem/lower the beam on the dis at the end of the 5-plet.
3) Tie that same dis to the fermata quarter note that follows.
4) Put a stem, but no notehead lined up with the rest in the 5-plet.
The definitions for inv and unv work but when I tried to alter them to
get stems but no noteheads Lily choked:
error: parse error, unexpected SCORE:
\scor
e {
Also, how can I make the dots of dotted notes transparent as well?
Thanks,
David Bobroff

weird time signature
I'm working on a piece that has a weird time sig in two places. Expressed as Lily input it would be: \time X/4 ...which doesn't work, of course. Is there a way to hack it? -David Bobroff ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

The X isn't a Roman numeral, by chance, is it? No, just the letter 'X'. It's just sort of an "out of time" measure.

Regarding the measure being out-of-time, I think you can do that with \cadenzaOn and \cadenzaOff. I can't answer the question of how to typeset X/4 as a time signature; I'm not even sure there are any letters at all in the time-signature font. But hopefully someone else can prove me wrong. :-) -- Larry Gilbert Renton, WA, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
How do I change the title font?
How do I change the font of the title and stanza numbers? I'm a new lilypond user, and I've figuered out how to change the font of the verses. I would like the title and stanza numbers to match. Also, I am making a small booklet, and would like to have the songs numbered. How do I place a song number in the title to be printed at the left or right edge of the page? -- __ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
