Yes... but only very little, if you use "s64" For my use this is better. I care about typesetting, but I care even more about easily maintainable code because I often re-arrange and make ad-hoc publications for courses.

You can find several examples in the mailing list archives. I did that. But this is also one of the examples where the "hack" doesn't play well with the entire score. This invisible note takes up space, which ruins the alignment with notes in other staffs where there's no tie. I just realized that one possibility to solve this is to make the invisible note a grace note. In that way, it won't destroy the rhythm. Example: \version "2.6.0" \score{ \new Voice \relative c' { \repeat volta 2 {c d2 e4 | f g a2 ~ } \alternative{{a4 g2 f4 | e2 d }{ \grace{\hideNotes a'4~} \unHideNotes a g e d\ | c1 }} } } Unfortunately this seems to give the same problem as when the music starts with a grace note (causing the time sign to be duplicated). Only now it's the second volta-spanner which is duplicated. So... two hacks would be required. I hope you know how to fix it, namely to insert a \grace{s4} in the beginning of the second ending of all other voices. Example: \score{ \relative c' << \new Staff { \repeat volta 2 {c d2 e4 | f g a2 ~ } \alternative{{a4 g2 f4 | e2 d } {\grace{\hideNotes a'16~ }\unHideNotes a4 g e d | c1 }} } \new Staff { \repeat volta 2 {c2 b4 c | d c f2 } \alternative{{d4 e d2 | c b |} {\grace s16 d2 g4 g, | c1}} } >> } The other alternative that is often used is to fiddle with the durations, as in the following example, but then you either get the note head slightly misplaced compared to the other voices or you have to apply the same trick to all voices, so I prefer the grace note solution. \score{ \relative c' << \new Staff { \repeat volta 2 {c4 d2 e4 | f g a2 ~ } \alternative{{a4 g2 f4 | e2 d } {\hideNotes a'32 ~ \unHideNotes a4*7/8 g4 e d | c1 }} } \new Staff { \repeat volta 2 {c2 b4 c | d c f2 } \alternative{{d4 e d2 | c b |} { d2 g4 g, | c1}} } >> } /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user -- = Mats Bengtsson Signal Processing Signals, Sensors and Systems Royal Institute of Technology SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Sweden Phone: (+46) 8 790 8463 Fax: (+46) 8 790 7260 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.s3.kth.se/~mabe = ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Nah... my budget is limited, and before I can decide where it's best to invest I think I need to know more about the internal design of Lilypond. (I know... I could/should read the source). One thing that I keep wondering is how much the internals of Lilypond knows about the flow (in time) of the music? I would guess that many of the features which I struggle with have something to do with Lilypond not knowing anything about in which order the music it typesets are actually played. If you could specify something like: * Create a new set of staffs, take the music and typeset measures up to #72. * \staffbreak{2cm} * Create new staffs, and typeset the rest. Where "staffbreak" is akin to linebreaks/pagebreaks. Peter ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

top-line tempo text markings
I recall a thread on this subject a few months ago, but I have not been able to find it in the archives. I'm trying to create a tempo marking -- something like "Andante" -- that only shows in the top line of a score, but when parts are extracted, shows on all of the parts. Similar to a rehearsal mark, but left-justified at the beginning of the bar where it begins. I'd do a simple text markup but can't figure out how to make it behave like a rehearsal mark. I've tried doing a \mark \markup, but trying to make it justify left didn't work. Josiah ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Rendering Libero's example under 2.7.9 aligns the far left edge of both indications (ie, the far left edge of the "s" in the ponticello indication, and the far left edge of the "o" in the ordinario indcation) with the dead center of the notehead.

It seems that the pair of ... \override TextScript #'self-alignment-X = #center \override TextScript #'X-offset-callbacks = #`(,Self_alignment_interface::aligned_on_self) ... should do the trick, but I can't make the indications budge at all, unfortunately.

But the I was trying to make is that if something requires desing-considerations for a clean solution, then it can be difficult to find "small useful solutions", which together gets you all the way. I'm not in a position to evaluate whether this is the case, since I've not read the source. I just wanted to make it possible to "do it right", if you conclude that the cleanest way to move forward would be changing some fundamental design.
