One-time ragged-right?
Hi, I'm looking to put a line break in a piece, but leave just that line ragged, in order to create some white space to the side of the bar. I'm not sure if Lilypond can do this, but is there any kind of workaround known?

Slightly OT: MIDI recording on a Mac?
Hi folks, a little off-topic, I admit... I want to let our keyboard player input a score, and I was thinking that the easiest, and quickest way, would be to let him play it on our keyboard and record it on my notebook, so that I can combine the various parts into one part and re-generate MIDIs and transposed music (with Lilypond!) for all the voices. Can anyone recommend hardware and software solutions for an Apple TiBook? Due to ... certain circumstances I can only run Mac OS 10.1 on my laptop... HD is a bit freaked out. I do have GarageBand on the iMac, but after copying it to my laptop it only bounced a few times and then disappeared from the Dock. TIA!

octavation at line breaks
Hi, version 2.8.2 (How) is it possible to move the octavation line only AFTER line breaks? Sometimes there are in the following line fingerings and so on, which I want to have inside the octavation line, and moving the octavation line BEFORE the line break lets view the octavation line too high. Any hints? Best Regards Roland ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: dotted phrasing slurs
There are no predefined macros to make dotted phrasing slurs. However, you can read at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.8/Documentation/user/lilypond/Default-files.html on how to find the definition of the \slurDotted macro (which is included in the file property-init.ly). Then, you can easily make your own macro that gives dotted phrasing slurs, just replace every occurance of "Slur" by "PhrasingSlur". /Mats Monk Panteleimon wrote: Dear friends, How can I make a dotted phrasing slur? I have tried \phrasingSlurDotted and also several wild guesses beginning with \once \override Slur... Using \slurDotted before a phrasing slur makes the next non-phrasing slur to be dotted.

However, I would like to start in to helping the Lilypond codebase in any way I can, immediately upon completing the current score (should be in about two weeks). In order to prepare for that, I have a few preliminary questions... =) 1. How much of the code is in C++, and how much in Scheme? Does the roadmap see this balance changing in any way, and if so in what direction? [n.b. I have very little experience with either C++ or Scheme specifically.] 2. Consequently, can I get away with learning one or the other, and if so which one would you prefer I learn? In other words, where would my learning curve best be applied, given the needs of Lilypond development over the next few months (and possibly years)?. 3. I would probably also be willing to take on the Newsletter Editor position (but I do want to roll up my sleeves and actually do some bit-pushing as well) -- is there an opportunity for me to start to learn some of the internal workings of Lilypond as a result of "editing the newsletter"?

Little slurs at finger changes?
Hi,

In earlier versions it was possible to take little slurs over finger

I can't figure out how to do something like this yet.

Re: Mixed questions
If you add a \bar "||:", you will get the desired double bar line
before the line break and start repeat after the line break.
/Mats
Quoting Stephen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
The double bar-line followed by a repeat bar-line is significant for
many. Every 32-bar song form of the Twentieth Century needs a double
bar-line after the 4-bar intro and/or a double bar-line after the
16-bar verse, followed by a 32-bar chorus with repeats and an
alternative. The slur on the repeat alternative is similiarly
required for every poplular song. Someone must have solved this
already. I have to say that this new example is nicely simplified.

Subject: Re: Mixed questions
Hello,
With regard to the questions I posed a few days ago:
- the first question has been solved with \hspace (something I
thought I had already tried out, but apparently not correctly). The
code now says:
poet = \markup { \hspace #10 \center-align { "Words by"
"MORE OF THAT POET" } }
without the \hspace, the text falls over the left edge of the
paper (is that on purpose, or an oversight of sorts?).
For the other two questions, I have toned down the code:
\version "2.8.1"
\score{
\relative c''
{ c d e f
f e d c \bar "||" \break
\repeat "volta" 2 { c b a c e c d e( }
\alternative {
{ fis) g e c }
{ d) c b c \bar "|."}
}
}
}
- I'd like a double bar line at the end of bar 2, then a line break,
then the repeat-part, starting with its proper bar line. Setting the
double bar line cancels the repeat bar line, adding a " \bar "|:" "
to bring it back cancels the double bar line in the bar before it.
Any way to have both of them?
- the last bar of the repeat before the alternative endings ends
with a note with a slur. The slur is finished properly on the first
note of the first alternative, but not so in the second alternative.
Just adding a ")" does not help, Lilypond complains about not being
able to end the slur. \repeatTie gives a very unsatisfactory result,
which seems immune to the normal tie-tweaking. Any other way of
getting the proper end of the slur?
TIA, and have a nice weekend,
Matthijs

including eps file
Hi,
In lilypond 2.8.4 I'm trying to attach an eps file above a staff with
the \epsfile markup command. the eps file gets included, but seems to
be anchored to the bottom of the page instead of being related to the
staff no matter how I change the parameters of the markup.
I attach the lilypond file with a normal text markup to indicate,
where the eps graphic should appear and the eps file itself. Replacing
line 14 by line 15 in the lilypond source includes the eps file
anchored to the bottom of the page.
gv displays the graphic correctly (rotated by 90 degrees).
Another related question: How can I find documentation on the possible
values for the "axis" parameter of \epsfile? I guess it is something
like "horizontal" or "vertical" coded into an integer, but which one
is coded how? I often stumble across such definitions desperately
trying to find some description of the possible values of parameters
and always hope there is some place in the documentation which I'm not
aware of (and haven't encountered yet).

Hi,
you can try this:
By using the commands \stopStaff and \startStaff you can determine where
your staff stops and starts. You could also work with transpartent notes
instead of skips used bellow. Afterwards the bar numbers are corrected by
\set Score.currentBarNumber = #X.
