Using Scheme

Hello,   I was wondering if someone could help me in using scheme to make a short cut.   I'm trying to simplify:   \once \override Beam #'positions = #'( number . number )   using a shortcut say \manBeam and specify the numbers beginning and ending beam height. I want to use this to alter the

Have the fonts changed?

I finally managed to upgrade to the latest version of Lilypond, from the 2.6.4 that I used to run. I'm very happy with the new features (especially the musica ficta option), but there is one change which I'm not quite as happy with: the fonts, more precisely: the way they look in [k|x]pdf. When

Re: Tutorial vs. actual printout

Hi, Rick: When I do it the measure is as wide as my page. Why is that? Try adding \paper { ragged-right = ##t } Best wishes, Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Tutorial vs. actual printout

Quick question about examples in the tutorial:  When I try out some of them, instead of concise little snippets, they take up the entire width of the page.  For example, page 34-35 has "Piano and melody with lyrics":\version "2.7.39" melody = \relative c'' { \clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4 a b

Re: Stacking up lyrics in same stanza

There's no direct support for this for the moment. However, you can probably get fairly close by playing tricks with \markup{...} for the braces and extra-offset for the vertical position of the lyrics after the repeat. /Mats zrlaszlo wrote: My problem is about stacking up lyrics in the same

Re: lilypond-book

Unfortunately, there are some problems with lilypond-book, convert-ly, midi2ly and some other utilities on Windows, since they are implemented using a scripting language called Python and the version of Python which is included in the LilyPond package is broken. A workaround is described in http

Re: Arpeggio too short

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm afraid I couldn't justify the expenditure for what is really only a minor inconvenience. I had just been wondering if there was an existing setting that I had missed which would cover this. Colin -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Arpeggio

update syntax in 2.8

I'm finally getting round to updating to 2.8 (from 2.6.5) on Mac OSX and am trying to use the "Update syntax" command (which I understand is the same as invoking convert-ly on other platforms.) I get the error message (OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory)What does this mean, and how can I

Re: Piano and Solo

See the section on Vertical spacing in the manual. One way to do it is to replace the first lines of your \score block with \score { << \new Staff = "mel" \with {\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-7 . 4)} { \melody } \new PianoStaff << ... You can replac
