Re: "Squished" tie between 2 notes
I often resolve squished ties like that by flipping the tie; e.g., using *fis^~* to force the tie on top, or *fis_~* to force it to the bottom. (In this case, it looks good on top, but this doesn't help if you really want it on the bottom.) Regards, Curt On 2/11/24 09:30, George wrote: bar 78 lily.png
Double dashed bar lines
Disclaimer: I realize I'm on an older version of Lilypond. If that makes
things substantially more difficult it's not out of the question I could
upgrade, but I'd rather not at this time.
I'm trying the following:
\version "2.20.0"
\relative c'' {
c4
c
\bar "!"
c
c
}
and this works, it gives me a dashed barline between the second and third
notes.
However, I can't figure out how to get a double dashed barline. \bar "!!",
"!|", and "|!", as well as `\bar "!" \bar "!"` are my four guesses, but
none work -- I get no barline with any of the first three, and just one
with the doubled-up `\bar`s.
Is this possible? What's the right markup for this?

Re: Double dashed bar lines
Hi!
There is no predefined double dashed bar line in lilypond, (You can see a list
of those at
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/list-of-bar-lines ) so
you’ll have to define it using \defineBarLine , as described here
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/bar-lines

It looks like \defineBarLine works in version 2.20, so:
\version "2.20"
\defineBarLine "!!" #'("!" "!" "")
{
s1 \bar"!!"
s1
}
The version-specific manual for that is:

Frescobaldi: Keyboard shortcut for toggling between editor and music view?
Hello all, Maybe I am missing it alltogether or it does not exist or it is to hard to find for me: I am looking for a keyboard shortcut in Frescobaldi enabling me to toggle between editor and music view, so I do not have to click with the mouse. I just can't find it. I have tried all kinds of possible candidates to no avail. Is someone here who happens to know? Thank you for pointing this out to me...
Assembling individual scores into a book
I have a growing collection of one- or two-page scores that I want to assemble into books, each with a table of contents. I've been using LaTeX's pdfpages package for this purpose, just pulling together all the LilyPond pdf output with page numbers added and a ToC on the front. This method works pretty well and is in fact completely independent of LilyPond itself, but I was thinking that the resulting assembled PDF files would be much smaller if they shared font info and wondered if anyone has advice on making a LilyPond book using \markuplist \table-of-contents with \tocItem and \include for each separate score, while also maintaining the ability to build each score as a separate PDF file.
Re: Double dashed bar lines
Perfect; thanks to both of you!

Re: Assembling individual scores into a book
I had the same challenge recently. See the attached. The individual parts
are in a "/parts" directory.
The "book.ly" file assembles the parts into a book with TOC.
I've also attached a simple script (assemble_book) to generate the book.ly
file (unix bash).
I am a newb with lilypond, so I'm sure there's a better and more natively
lilypond-ish way to accomplish this. I hope someone else will chime in.

book.ly

#!/bin/bash
echo '\version "2.24.3"'
echo 'bookTitle = "book of parts"'
echo '\markuplist \table-of-contents'
ls ./parts/*.ly | while read partFile; do
echo
echo '\include "'${partFile}'"'
echo '\bookpart {'
echo ' \header { title = \pieceTitle}'
echo ' \tocItem \markup \pieceTitle'
echo ' \score { \scorePart }'
echo '}'
done
Re: Assembling individual scores into a book
I should add that one issue with this method is with optimizing page turns. E.g., if you were relying on a piece to start on an odd page but the prior piece in the book ended on an odd page, you'd end up having to insert a blank page in order to preserve your intended page turn. For large books this can become onerous to manage. I'm hoping someone can enlighten me with a better way. thanks.
Re: Assembling individual scores into a book
I should say that aside from wasting space on repeated font data, my technique of using pdfpages in LaTeX is very effective and not difficult, including a mechanism for starting two-page scores on even pages.

Re: Assembling individual scores into a book
One limitation to keep in mind is that you must not put lilypond page numbers in the scores, because pdfpages needs to write its own page numbers that correspond to the ToC.
