Re: Using chord names instead of ^"name" in the music
to print chord name only, see : http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/lilypond/A-lead-sheet.html#A-lead-sheet (the last sample) and the source at : http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/lilypond/lily-202315302.ly Stephen Torri wrote: I was told to consider using chord names instead of using the ^"name" notation as a part of the music.

You can try playing with:
\override Score.Slur #'height-limit = #4.5
or/and
\override Script #'padding = #1.5
Neither appears to work, at least the way I used it in the
following code fragment (I hope I didn't omit anything
essential). I used deliberately small and large values to
exagerrate any side-effect the overrides might have (none).
upper = \relative c' {
\time 4/4
\key c \major
\clef treble
\override Score.SeparationItem #'padding = #1.0
\override Score.Slur #'height-limit = #-20
\override Script #'padding = #100.5
\phrasingSlurUp
c4-1\( d-2 e-3 f-4
g4-5 e4-3 c2-1\)
Since you use phrasing slurs instead of ordinary slurs, you have to use
\override Score.PhrasingSlur #'height-limit = ...
to control it. Similarly, to control a fingering, you should set the
property
on the Fingering object, not on the Script object:
\override Fingering #'padding = #10.0

Re: Using lilypond syntax in Scheme
As far as I know, this has been fixed in the latest development versions.
In 2.6, you have to explicitly include a \notemode :
#(define mynotes #{ \override Stem #'thickness = #4
\notemode { c'8 d' } #})
\score { \mynotes }

What am I missing here? Whenever I include a literal note (e.g. "c" or

#(define mynotes #{ \override Stem #'thickness = #4

Am I just not invoking it right? Commands and such (\override,

on 2.6.4.

Re: print-function
The problem is probably that stems and perhaps some other objects as well, determine their position based on the position of the corresponding note head, so when you remove that particular print-function, you also remove a prerequisite for other parts of LilyPond to work. However, in general, setting print-function to false is a good method to remove the object completely. Another method is to completely remove the corresponding engraver, but at least in this particular case, I would expect possibly even worse problems due to interactions with other engravers and objects. /Mats Don Blaheta wrote: In the docs for #'transparent, it says "This is almost the same as setting print-function to #f, but this retains the dimensions of this grob, which means that grobs can be erased individually." Since I actually *want* to blow away the dimensions of the grob, this alternative seemed appealing, but when I added \override NoteHead #'print-function = ##f to my file, I get a crap-ton of messages saying programming error: infinity or NaN encountered while converting Real number continuing, cross fingers although it then lays out the music just like I wanted.

footnotes on output sheet
I am trying to give credit where credit is due and put the footnotes I find in a hymn on the bottom of the sheet. Some text is aligned on the left and right side of the page as if the foot note was split into two columns. I used google to search the documentation and did not see how with lilypond syntax to do this. Do I need to put my lilypond doc into a latex doc and try it that way?

Yes. Thanks. It did not make sense to think of copyright to denote

This has an effect, but not exactly the one I want in the
above case. Large values (+10) increase the curve. What I
want is to flatten the curve and raise its two end
points. As it is, with #'height-limit = #50, I get a
dome-like curve that extends all the way down to the
notehead (the two C's one line below the treble staff).
The curve of the phrasing slur practically disappears with
#'height-limit = #0 (it becomes nearly flat). But I see no
difference in slope between #'height-limit = #1 and
#'height-limit = #4.
Is there a way to arbitrarily raise the end points of the
curve as well?

This works and could be a way of solving the collision
problem. However, a flatter curve would enable me to raise
or lower the fingering numbers uniformly rather than attempt
to achieve a fancy staircase effect to dodge the curve

I don't even know where to start looking for the root of the problem.
I use Debian testing/unstable, lilypond 2.6.3.

Hi David, Just in reply to your statement >>> This used to be popular but it is a bad idea because you can't tell>>> whether there is really supposed to be any slurring or not. I realise this but I typeset baroque and classical scores where a slur is often placed around the tuplet number. As for trying to figure out whether it is a 'slur' or 'a group' I leave this to the performer(s) since I'm trying to make the score as faithful to the original edition as possible -- an urtext. The feature which I've sponsored isn't a mandatory feature but simply one that users can switch on or off when editing baroque and classical works or any other works for that matter.

I did the following:

d:m | a1:m | a2:m g:m | f1 | c | a/cis | d:m | a:m | g | a:m | d2:m g |

Are you sure about the number values? I ask because I used the number
values after the chord character 'a1' to indicate its a whole measure
and 'a2' to indicate a half measure and got the results I wanted.
Aside on the slur how do you slur chord names? For example how do I get
away with no repeating the Am chord in the second measure.
