Problem with spacing of \markup on \skips vs on notes

2004-02-24 Thread Reuben Thomas
If you try the following example on 2.1.27: \score { \notes { s1^\markup "Verylongtext"\f a'1^\markup "Verylongtext"\f } } you find that in the first bar, the f and "Verylongtext" are centred on each other, whereas in the second bar, they are left aligned. This causes me problems whe

Question on note-spacing

2004-02-24 Thread Doug Asherman
Hello: I have what is probably a very simple question, but I can't seem to work it out. Below you can find the source for one bar from the Concierto De Aranjuez; if you compile it, you'll see that the eight note after the second group of 64th notes is a little close to the last 64th note. I wa

Old style time signature for 4/2

2004-02-24 Thread Reuben Thomas
I'm not very strong on this sort of thing, so correct me if I'm wrong (I checked at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Neil_Hawes/theory10.htm), but in old scores, 4/2 time is often marked with a c-with-vertical-bar (same as 2/2). I just tried setting mensural time signatures in 2.1.26, but t

Longa with long stem

2004-02-24 Thread Reuben Thomas
I had a look through the manual, but I can't seem to find a \longa with a longer tail, such as I have often seen. Also, one whose tail follows the usual rules (i.e. on the bottom line, I'd expect the tail to go up; or is that wrong? I'm copying from a handwritten score, so it might be at fault...).

You don't say what LilyPond version you use, but from your example I guess it's a 2.0.x version. I just tried it (minor modifications necessary) with the latest development version where it seems to work well. So, if nobody comes with a better suggestion, one solution is to upgrade to a recent deve
