Shapenote project for lilynet

2010-03-26 Thread dadadharma @dslextreme.com
For those interested in shapenote notation. I've written a few articles for lilynet & started a discussion group (fasoli = fasola + lilypond). The basic idea is that many shape note singers will only use a subset of lilypond, have different names for many things. To cater this particular mix of c

I always forget that. In that case, forcing the breaking with a manual \break so that the measure is spread out over a large enough space should get that to work. I don't think the hyphenation is meant to be "where do I want a hypen" but rather, "where is a hyphen allowed". In this case, mo
