Dynamics offset suddenly changes
I have a score with a lot of dynamics, a string quartet. There is more or less a continuum of dynamics and hairpins for each instrument. I am not using a dynamics context as the complexity of the music and rhythms makes it very tedious to figure out all the spacer rests that would be need. It's more pragmatic to attach the dynamics to the notes for this particular work. Generally in the score all the dynamics and hairpins line up nicely without me having to adjust them, only occasionally. But now that I have over 100 pages, more and more often hairpins that go over the page break and should join to a \p or \f etc on the next page are completely out of alignment. It's as though the hairpin cannot see the ending dynamic indication. is there a reason for this, and is there a fix? Refer to the attached image for an example.

Dispositioned notehead in chord when staffsize=14 and clef=bass

You're on the right track. The only thing that would affect the beam positions in my personal stylesheet was the 'damping property which I have set to 2 instead of 1 (default). It's not exactly the same as the Barenreiter score in the essay, but it's *much* closer now. I've found that decimal values won't change the damping effect much, but whole numbers should (i.e., change the value to 1000 and you'll see what I mean).

I'd have been interested in the second one, the multi-string passages close to the end. Since there are fingerings in your page, you are obviously not writing an Urtext. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Intentionally delay starting staffs to avoid lots of rests during intro solo?
Hello! I am trying to create a score for a song that has an 8 bar solo at the beginning. I would like to avoid having staffs for all the other instruments showing rests, so I'm wondering if it's possible to get Lilypond to hide the staffs until those voices come in. I'm hoping it's possible because I noticed that if one instrument has more measures then its staff will be longer, see e.g. below snippet and the attached image. \version "2.19.82" << \new Staff { a1 b c d } \new Staff { r1 b c d e } >> Is there a way to get that effect at the *start* of the score as well, instead of staffs containing nothing but rests? PS: I'm a beginner both with reading/writing music and Lilypond so feel free to let me know if this is simply Not Done, especially if you have suggestions of What To Do Instead. :-) Regards, Stig ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
