Re: help! need an example

Here is a piece of code that should give you ideas. Try compile it. I did not finished the second line but you should have gotten the idea. To have proper slurs between all the notes in the chords, use the "multi voice" entering mode which is something like that : << { a4( b4) } \\ { f4( g4) }

I'm trying to copy music using lilypond, even though I read half of the manual I don't understand ways of putting notes in a correct sequence :) i have a piece of music, it's really short (like 12 notes). I want to ask somebody help me and explain how the notes sequence should look like. here i

Re: Guitar notation

It's possible to have a stand-alone \markup{...} in a .ly file, so one possibility would be to make a .ly file with \markup{ \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-2;" \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-x;4-o;3-1;2-1;1-3;" ... } For your second question, did you read the section on Arpeggio? /Mats Quo

Re: french score

It might have been a bug in that particular version, please try to upgrade to the latest version and report if it still happens. /Mats Quoting Jan Janovcik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi, I have 1 small problem: I've been typesetting a piece in a "French score" style (i.e. with hiding empty staves)

bc vertical alignment

Hi, I've been typesetting a small cantata by Bach recently and the way figured bass now works (i.e. version 2.7.2x, windows) is really annoying. Manual says: "When using continuation lines, common figures are always put in the same vertical position." but for me this seemed to happen even when no

french score

Hi, I have 1 small problem: I've been typesetting a piece in a "French score" style (i.e. with hiding empty staves) - the way this option works for me is, that lily hides the staff but i get an empty vertical space in the system. Is this normal, i.e. do I have to set it manualy? Thanks in advance

Re: skip -- What am I missing?

I hope you have read the manual for version 2.7, since it contains several clarifications compared the the earlier version. For example, in Sect. 7.3.5 Flexibility in alignment, it says "For every \skip, the text will be delayed another note." A better solution to your situation is illustrated

Geoff said: You're saying you didn't see any effect even with #10? Because I got a huge, huge difference in my test file with that. I'm also using 2.6.4, so maybe this is something that's changed in the update. (I'm not going to break a working system just to experiment.) Fr. P says: Aha. It wo

Re: lyric spacing : "why not follow instructions in manual"

Thank you very much, but it doesn't seem to work for me. See anything wrong with the file below? I'm using 2.7.36 Also, (I realized after I wrote the post in question) this will add padding to *every word. While that's better than adding padding to every note, it's not quite as good as slightly

Re: Order of the staves

I think the problem is that you have surrounded all the staves by a GrandStaff. If you look at the program reference for GrandStaff, you will learn that it can only contain Staff contexts, by default. Even though it's possible to change this default definition of GrandStaff, but if I recall co

\skip -- What am I missing?

I'm obviously not understanding something important about the \skip command. I'm trying to use it in lyrics to skip over a leading refrain, and no matter what argument I give it, it skips over exactly one beat. See the sample below. As I read the documentation, the first word of verse two ought to
