How do I put parentheses around some notes?

2007-12-21 Thread Father Gordon Gilbert 
Hi all,

I'm reproducing a Christmas carol from a book I have, mostly in order to
transpose it.  The composer and poet are both long dead, though, so the
piece is public domain afaik.

Some of the lines of lyrics have a leading note (a \partial 4), but some of
them have no leading note.  In the book, these notes are enclosed in
parentheses.  The piece is in four voices (SATB) so the notes for each of
these locations are naturally in different places in the ly file.  But how
do I put parentheses around these (only sometimes-used) notes?

Also, what about dotted slurs for when one or more syllables are sung to a
pair of notes?

I've searched the manual for these two items, but can't seem to locate
them.  (A pointer to the section would be helpful.)

Windoze XP Pro, version 2.11.32

Thanks, and have a Merry Christmas,

Fr. Gordon Gilbert+

See the LSR for this (parenthesis around one note or even one note inside a 
chord):

dashed or dotted slur:

Hope that helps ;-)

Cheers,

syntax for "minor triad sus 2"

2007-12-21 Thread Kieren MacMillan 

[Lilypond 2.11.33-1]

Hello all,

I can't seem to get a simple minor chord sus 2 in \chordmode...  =\

This (which was my intuition, and the docs imply)

bandChords = \chordmode { gs2:m.2/ds cs:maj/ds }

throws an error. My "fix"

bandChords = \chordmode { gs2:m3.2/ds cs:maj/ds }

doesn't throw an error, but the output is "G#/sus2/addb3/D#" instead  
of the desired "G#m sus2/D#".


Any help would be appreciated.
Kieren.

including and formatting

2007-12-21 Thread Stefan Thomas 
Dear Lilypond-users,
I have a question concerning the "\include"-command.
When I have a file consisting of
\inlude "part_one.ly"
\include "part_two.ly"
 etc.
the part two starts automatically a new line and measure numbers are
counted from one, again. Is it possible to avoid this?
I'm thinking of a larger score, consisting of different parts, but
the piece shall be written in one movement.
I'am using version 2.11.34.
Thank You for Your help.
Stefan
