[ Lilypond 2.8.1 ] Hello, all -- I know it's hard to diagnose a problem without sample code, but I'm too deep in a large project to try to derive a minimal example, and I'm hoping someone can help me anyway... I've got A.ly, B.ly, etc., and a Score.ly which \include-s all the others. B

Bracketed non-div notes?

I'm writing some music that has a large div. section, with occasional chords that should be played non-div. I've seen this notated as brackets around the notes that should be played together before. I searched the docs, but either I don't know the correct musical term for this, or I'm really b

Pitched trill?

Is there a way to do this in Lilypond (2.8)? I've looked at the \pitchedTrill command, but that specifies a note to trill to, and I'd rather just specify sharp, flat, or natural in the trill line. --Steven PitchedTrill.PNG Description: PNG image _

Re: uncertain about MIDI dynamic scaling

Usually, we have had complaints about that the dynamic range was too large, so the silent dynamics were inaudible. So, it may happen that the default range has been compressed compared to early versions of LilyPond. /Mats Sean Reed wrote: Hi, Is it possible that the scaling on the MIDI dyna

uncertain about MIDI dynamic scaling

Hi, Is it possible that the scaling on the MIDI dynamics is off somehow? I found a few mentions of this in the archives but no specific discussions of this particular issue. I noticed today after not using MIDI output from LilyPond for several versions (and months) that the differences in

Muted (Stopped) notes in Tablature

Howdy, I've recently started using Lilypond to transcribe my band's current music. I wanted to add tablature to guitar parts that have stopped (muted) notes. I have a macro that changes the note head to a cross that works fine when my guitar notes variable is fed into a normal staff, but in a T

how to tweak measure padding (global setting)

[ Lilypond 2.8.1 ] Hello, all -- Just trying once again... =) I am dissatisfied (as, apparently, are some others) by the default padding at the beginning (particularly) and the end (somewhat) of measures in 2.8.1 -- see previous posts for examples/screenshots:

Re: violin/strings double-stopping

Please keep email traffic on the mailist, so that other people can benefit from the answers. To make notes smaller, you can use \tiny, \small, and \normalsize. These are handy ways of changing the font size; for example, tiny = \set fontSize = #-2 (you can guess how to make notes larger than
