chords in full score
greetings! i am copying an orchestral score in which there are three flute parts, always in rhythmic unison. we would like them to appear in the full score as chords, but still be easily extracted for parts. is there a way (other than a lot of cut'n'paste) to do this? my basic strategy for the piece is separate files for each instrument, combined with includes in the score. i'm using lilypond v2.7.32. thanks! -p ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
volta warning

chord-name font size issues
greetings! when using \override ChordName #'font-size to make chord-names smaller, the superscripts stay the same distance above the main text baseline. i.e. the vertical distance between chord letter and chord type and extensions, relative to font size, gets larger. is this the intended behaviour? i would think that vertical distance should be scaled with the font size. as a workaround, is there a way of globally adjusting the chord-name superscript height? i don't see anything in the docs. i'm on 2.11.12 thanks! .pltk. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

change metronome size

re: change markup note size
followup to my own post: while the notation manual states: "\note log dots dir" with a note explaining that the third value refers to the stem direction (+1 is up and -1 is down), it does not tell us what i have just discovered: the third value ALSO controls stem length and position. \markup { \magnify #3 \note #2 #0 #3 } yields a 3x-sized note with correct position/length of the stem. \markup { \magnify #0.5 \note #2 #0 #0.5 } yields a 0.5x-sized note with correct position/length of the stem. a negative third value flips the note upside down, and still corrects the stem length. unfortunately, the stem thickness is unaffected, so the range of values for which this method will create a useful result is limited. best - -p ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

cross-barline AND cross-linebreak beams
regression | beaming.ly states "Beams may cross bar lines.

strange thread behaviour in 1.9.8??
in "tips and tricks" : harmonic.ly if the initial c'4 is removed, then the two notes within the <<>> behave as polyphony rather than as a chord. this is consistent with the new polyphony and chord syntax, but why does the initial c'4 force chord behaviour? if, after removing the initial c'4, i then place the multi-threaded chord in a \context Voice {} block, then it DOES behave as a chord again. perhaps, to have a consistent syntax, multithreaded chords should always be placed in a Voice context now? -p ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

individual tie directions in chords
in the following: \score { \notes \relative c' { ~ } \paper { raggedright = ##t} } it seems clear to me that the tie between g's should go up, to avoid colliding with the tie between f's. unfortunately, that does not follow the rule of curving away from staff center. i have not been able to find a way of controlling tie DIRECTION for individual notes in a chord. i suppose the method of placing the tie engraver at thread level (shown in regression/tie-chord-partial.ly) would work, but in the context of a succession of chords, where only one needs this treatment, isn't it difficult to switch between that and the regular use of the tie engraver? is there no simpler way to do this? -p ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
