x-offset in <<\\>> environment?

2006-07-16 Thread Rick Hogg
I asked this question last month and got an answer that almost helped, but is it possible to use X-offset in the <<\\>> environment? I need both voices to be stem-up, so I created a blank second voice, using only first and third for notation, but the flags still collide (that is, << \\ \\ >>). Th

Dynamics above/below bar lines?

2006-07-16 Thread Rick Hogg

Bug in 2.9.1 - #(set-default-paper-size "a4" 'landscape) ?

2006-07-16 Thread Vivian Barty-Taylor
I'm trying to use 2.9.1 for the first time because of various new features and seem to have immediately run into a bug. The attached file should produce landscape output, but it doesn't. It doesn't matter if I put the line at the top of the file or in the \paper section.Any thoughts for a workaroun
