Codas - STILL can't get it right...
I've upgraded to mingw 2.8.2 ...
Firstly, thanks for the tip about page-spacing.ly. This looks exactly
like what I want ... except I can't find any docu except the example
itself, and cut-n-pasting seems to have no effect :-( (I've looked in
the manual index, and in the html internal thingy which I used IE's
search on)
And I still can't get my "DS al Coda" and coda symbols to come out
where/how I want them. It's all very well saying "attach them to the
note before/after", but (a) imho they belong attached to the barline,
and (b) last time I attached something like that to a R1*8 it looked
rather silly ...
(Actually, I think it was effectively << {s2 s s1*3} {R1*4} >> with the
s's and R in different voices on the same staff, but it was a mess The
s2 stuff was a deliberate (and failed) attempt to get it to go to the
left.) Oh - and with my current part the coda will collide with a
fermata :-(
The problem (from my point of view) is that I'm in the habit of putting
all the structure in a separate voice from the notes, and codas etc are
structure. So I can't attach them to a genuine note or fine-tune their
left/right alignment, because I re-use the same structure voice across
multiple parts, hence stuff like that getting attached to a R1*8!
So basically, in the below code I want
(1) to push the last system down and leave a bigger gap
(2) to have "DS al Coda" appear right-justified at the end of the
penultimate system
(3) to have the Coda symbol appear left justified at the beginning of
the last system

newbie part extraction on same page
How can I extract 2 parts to print independently on the same page? Lets say I have a 12 measure duet. I want to print the entire first part on the left (or top) half of the page, and the entire second part on the right (or bottom) half of the page, as 2 separate systems beginning to end. I could not find any examples of this. Does it involve using the \book container which I have no experience with?

Moving text on multibar rest
Dear list,
I have a text on a multibar rest, like this:R1*8^"Verse 1"
The text appears centred on the rest. But I would like it
aligned to the left, to indicate that it refers to the
beginning of the rest. I've tried the following, but they
didn't make any difference:
R1*8^\markup { \hspace #-5 "Verse 1" }
\once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'( -5.0 . 0.0 )

Any ideas why these didn't work, and how can I do it?

page-spacing.ly reveals all the defaults. I does not demonstrate how to
change the defaults. Off-hand, I do not know how to change them. ...Well,
maybe it does show you how. I seems to be using a new override called
\overrideProperty. The printing of properties is meant to help you find the
property you want to change. If you want to print the defaults on another
project, add the print-score-with-defaults function from the top of
page-spacing.ly. Otherwise you need to be more specific about what about the
file you like.
OK, I get the error message 'The PostScript backend does not support the
'classic' framework. Use the EPS backend instead,
lilypond -b eps
or remove the lilypond-book specific settings from the input."
lilypond-book is something I have no experience with.
And I still can't get my "DS al Coda" and coda symbols to come out
where/how I want them. It's all very well saying "attach them to the

You are right, they should be attached to the barline. That is why you
should \mark instead of \markup. Rehearsal Marks can take any text, just
like \markup, but it attaches the marks to the barline instead of notes. In
addition, you will want to right justify the text to the barline, so I will
show you an example of how I did that.
\bar "||"
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #right
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'font-size = #0
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'padding = #0.5
\mark "Fine"
I changed the font-size because the default fontsize for \mark is larger
than for \markup. That is one of the only differences besides where they
attach the text.

Try using a rehearsal mark left-aligned to the preceeding barline:

For controlling the positions:
Always use rehearsal marks, for things like DS, To Coda and the actual Coda mark.
Put in a separate variable for the mark and the position control. You do this so that you can define a different value for the position control for each instrument when you print the parts.
Define the position control using some syntax like:
positionDS = {
% Set the anchor at the bar line. depending on what you need, you can also align to things like
% clefs, time signatures, etc.
\once \set Score.rehearsalMarkAlignSymbol = #'staff-bar
% Put the mark to the left of the bar line (or on the preceding line if there is a break)
% Use -1 and end-of-line-invisible to position right of the bar or following the break.
% Use 0 to center on the bar and end-of-line-invisible to center on the bar or follow the break.
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #1
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-visibility = #begin-of-line-invisible
% position the mark up 6.6 lines. This can cause a change in the space between systems.
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'padding = #6.6
% adjust the position of the mark one staff unit right from where it would otherwise be.
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-offset = #'(1.0 . 0.0)
}
By doing the above you can print the parts or the whole score and completely control the position of the mark. Sometimes you will find that you want to position rehearsal marks on both sides of the bar, for example "To Coda" preceding and a section mark following. Under those circumstances, you set up one of the marks at either the preceding or following bar. Then you have to heavily adjust the X location in extra-offset to get the mark where you want it.
(Actually, I think it was effectively << {s2 s s1*3} {R1*4} >> with the
s's and R in different voices on the same staff, but it was a mess The
s2 stuff was a deliberate (and failed) attempt to get it to go to the

See above for how to move the mark away from the articulations.
The problem (from my point of view) is that I'm in the habit of putting
all the structure in a separate voice from the notes, and codas etc are
structure. So I can't attach them to a genuine note or fine-tune their

(2) to have "DS al Coda" appear right-justified at the end of the
penultimate system
(3) to have the Coda symbol appear left justified at the beginning of
the last system
I usually have short Codas that are separated from the main music by a little bit of space. To do that I insert an invisible measure. Typically that means that you put:
\stopStaff s \startStaff in between the main music and the coda. You may or may not want to prevent line breaks before or after the blank measure. If you want you can also coerce the measure count after the blank. I usually don't find that necessary because the codas are short and don't end up displaying a number.
For your situation, it sounds like the codas are longer. In that case, you might just put a very large padding on the Coda mark and force it back down with a negative number in the Y value in extra-offset. What that will do is to create enough space between the measures for the Coda mark to be way above the staff. But then you push it back down with extra-offset, WHICH DOES NOT AFFECT THE POSTIONS OF NEIGHBORING OBJECTS. You might also be able to directly tweak the spacing on the last system. I have seen hints in the docs that that works but haven't actually tried it.
imho this is a perfectly normal layout and I just cannot see how to
achieve it ...
