This means that unless you're careful an upgrade could install the 2.8 Lilypond in the repository which will cause all sorts of conflicts. The easy answer is to use equivs -- this fools apt into thinking that a package (or a particular version) is installed when it isn't.

Using \allowPageTurn
Hi folks, I want to use the new \allowPageTurn command to control the page turning in a piece I'm setting. The manual (section 11.4.4 Optimal page turning) says: 'There are two steps to using this page breaking function. First, you must enable it in the \paper block. Then, you must tell the function where you would like to allow page breaks.' The second part is easy enough, but I don't see any instructions for enabling it in the \paper block. Any clues (or am I missing something obvious?) -- = Cameron Horsburgh = ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I guess it would be good to include a reference to that in later sections as well. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Glückwünsche! Rune.
I have to take a moment to acknowledge the unique give-and-take of this
forum and the help I've been getting around Lilypond already.
It compells me to get good at this.
Thank-you so much, everbody.
much love,
JWPeek

Variant mensual ligatures?
I'm trying to set the Bodleian MS. Canon. Misc. 213 (early renaissance manuscript, perhaps the first in void mensural notation) in a form that captures most of the peculiarities of the copyist's notation, but uniformly readable. I've solved several of the problems, but ... The copyist uses a variant of the descending semibreves mensural ligature, with a slanting box instead of the two square noteheads (this is shown in the Wikipedia page on Mensural Notation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensural_notation#Ligatures in the leftmost entry on line 5 of the table). The notation looks just like the descending breve ligature, except that the stem goes up instead of down. I don't expect the Lilypond mensural notation to provide this variant directly, so I'm trying to find the right tweak in the source. There seems to be no hook for mensural ligatures in the Scheme source. I have stared at mensural-ligature-engraver.cc and mensural-ligature.cc without absorbing any clue as to where/how the choices involved in creating ligatures are actually made. It appears that there should be some invocation of spanners and maybe beams to generate the slanted forms, but I can't find the right spot in the code. So, pointers into the code will be highly appreciated. Of course, if someone wants to provide selectable variant ligature forms, ... :-) When I've accomplished enough to make a useful example, I'll post some of my techniques.

break in measure
Hello, Lilypond formats a score and tries to fit as much as possible at the first page. Unfortunately the piece is too long and I have one remaining line at the last page. Therefore I would like to relax the lines at the pages before without entering manual breaks. How can I say "not more than x measures per line" or just "use more space"? /Helge ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

How can I say "not more than x measures per line" or just "use more space"? If you set ragged-last-bottom to ##f in the paper block, then Lilypond will try to avoid the situation you describe. Alternatively, you can set system-count to a number in the paper block to force Lilypond to use that many systems. Finally, you can look at the chapter on horizontal spacing in the manual to see how to get Lilypond to prefer more widely spaced lines. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
