Re: what is the proper way to handle placing text?
You have already sent some emails related to this topic and we have tried to point out some solutions to some problems. I'm not sure how far you have got now and exactly what problems you are facing at the moment. If you again send an example file (preferably a complete example file, though as short as possible) and point out what problems you see with your current attempt. Also, don't forget to tell us what LilyPond version you are using for the moment. Of course, the recommended version now is the recently released version 2.2. I don't really see why you would want to attach a 'Coda' or 'DS al Coda' to a multimeasure rest. Logically, it should always belong to a bar line, right? /Mats chip wrote: Okay, so I've been working with this program for a few months now, the one area I am still struggling with is in placing text in the correct spot. When I can attach the \markup to a note, no problem. But I have come across many times where I have to attach text to a multimeasure rest, followed by a double-bar line, and another multimeasure rest. The text in this case is usually DS (or DC) Al Coda. Then that same bit would be followed by the coda which starts with a multimeasure rest. So then I have to attach the Coda sign to a mm rest. For some doggone reason I just have the hardest time getting that bit of text placed properly. I have spent literally hours messing with just one bit of text, while the entire piece takes about a half hour to type in. I would also like to seperate the end of the 'regular' song and the beginning of the coda with some empty staff or start the coda on a new staff. So far all I've been able to do is use a skip bar between the two sections. Could someone please clear me up on just what is the best practices in handling this type of text placement? BTW, I am using v2.0.3 on FreeBSD.

Re: Font changing
The latexpackages field is a bit primitive, since you cannot
attach options to a specific package. Fortunately, for [T1]{fontenc},
there's a workaround, namely to use
latexpackages = "t1enc"
which gives the same result and doesn't require any option.
Another alternative is to put but the \usepackage and the
command definition in a separate .tex file and specify its name
using latexheaders.
I'm not sure how you plan to use the \changefont command. If you want
to use it within lyrics, for example, you would have to add it for
every single syllable. Apart from being extremely tedious to type in,
it would ruin LilyPond's ability to calculate the size of each syllable.
A better solution, then, is described in

Hi list,
I have found out that I can use latex commands for changing fonts by
adding the following lines to the (temporary) *.latex file lilypond
produces:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\newcommand{\changefont}[3]{\fontfamily{#1} \fontseries{#2}
\fontshape{#3} \selectfont}
Now I would like to add the appropriate commands to the \header block
of my *.ly file, but I am not sure how to use "latexpackages" and
"latexheaders".
For \usepackage the following seems to work:
latexpackages = "[T1]{fontenc}"
Thank you,

Re: Font changing
Thank you.
I want to use the \changefont command for titling.
latexheaders = "newcommand.tex"
in the *.ly file does produce
\include{newcommand.tex}
in the resulting *.latex file, right?
This does not work. I changed to \input{newcommand.tex} and this did
the job. Could I get the same without editing the *.latex file?
Thanks again,
Thomas

Re: Font changing
Bug/limitation in lilypond reported below!

Certainly! If you want to find out what lilypond does, just add the
flag -k and look in the generated lilypond.dir/*.latex file.
This does not work. I changed to \input{newcommand.tex} and this did
the job. Could I get the same without editing the *.latex file?
Run lilypond with the flag -V to see the printouts from latex.
The problem here, is that lilypond generates the files and runs latex
in a temporary directory. This means that latex will not find your
header file if you put it in the same directory as the .ly files.
One solution is to put the file in a directory where latex normally
searches for files. It seems that almost nobody has used this feature,
it was several years since this problem was discussed on the list last
time.
Of course, it's a bug that latexheaders doesn't work when the files
are available in the working directory. I don't really know about the
best way to solve it, though.

Relatively Modern Chant Notation
Hello, I've been looking through the lyric documentation, but I can't seem to find what I have in mind. How can I stick several words or phrases under the same note? I'm looking to write unmetered chant. I don't need much in the way of ancient symbols, but it will look kind of silly if I have to have an 8th for every syllable or some such (and that isn't going to make any sense for multiple verses). I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks! Jean ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
