Thanks Trevor for your suggestions. I hadn't even considered the multi-score solution because that splits the midi to two files. And then I realised that, in this case, it doesn't really matter since the midi and PDF definitions are quite different. The other solution consists of 'adapting' an ex

Roman Further to my previous answer, here is one way to code your example. This corresponds to the first method in the Learning Manual. I would prefer, though, to place the music in variables and the staff structure in the score block. Trevor \version "2.11.60" \layout { ragged-right = ##t }

I believe Trevor showed how to make the change global in another response to your email. The nicest way to do dynamics and the crescendo and decrescendo would be to use the piano-centered-dynamics template and put the dynamics in a separate voice. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/

This issue was mentioned on the mailing list as late as a few days ago. As is described in the documentation (at least the 2.11 version), specifying fingeringOrientations only works for fingerings that are attached to chords. If you want it for a single note, you have to make it a single note ch
