I've never tried it, but could you use a drum voice to avoid
transposition problems?

I hope someone answers that.  It's been a while and several versions 
since I've done that.  A solution really needs to exist possibly as a 
variation of \repeat.

In my case I cant just change to a drum voice because these measures are in
the midst of a voice that does play standard notation for most of the piece,
but in places I just have him comping the changes.  I never thought of
transpose, that would misplace the slashes.  Is there any wrapper that can
flag a range of notes to not participate in parent transposition?

For example:

\dontTranspose { b b b b }

Such a command would open up the free use of all kinds of rhythmic notehead
possibilities for comping or slapping the guitar top, etc. that
non-percussion instruments per-se can utilize in their voices.

This slash notation is very commonly used, and I think there should be at
least a small example in the manual on how to do it properly.  (In my
original example I still have to hide the stems, but they could be handy if
you want to show a specific rhythm)

Identifiers

2006-11-08 Thread Kamal

How do you attach a duration (or other notation) to an identifier?

Example:
I have:
8 16[ ]

I want to use "" as an identifier so I tried the following but
it didn't work:

var = { < a c e> }

\score {
{ \var \var16[ \var16] }
}

I am using lilypond 2.8.6

\override staff-position for the note head ; that will solv (part of)

How to add a smart alignment to my lyrics?

2006-11-08 Thread Eduardo Vieira
Hello users!
I want to follow this style of aligning lyrics to the notes whenever a lyric
syllable starts a new verse:

\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #-1
\once \override LyricText #'X-offset = #-1

However I wonder if, by using Scheme, one could apply this setting *whenever* a
new system is created, so that every first lyric syllable can be left aligned
in the beginning of a system -- a style used by some song publishers.
Well, I don't know Scheme and won't be able to study much maybe until next year.
So, if someone feels challenged to do this and share the code, I'd be much
beholden to him.

Regards,

Eduardo Vieira

I have needed this capability for my chord library, so I will be interested
in an answer as well.

You can't attach durations to identifiers.  You need to write a music 
function to do this; see "interfaces for programmers" in the 2.9 manual.

What if you had a rest that looked like a slash? No transposition 
issues, then. No input to MIDI if you have a midi block in your .ly 
file, for that matter. Given the slash is already part of the Feta font, 
I assume it should be possible - I'm just not sure how to do it! Can 
someone explain how to do this, or why it's not possible?
