Thank you everyone for the info. Lilypond sounds totally awesome. Just a little more background because there may be folks here with insight on these things (PM if not appropriate for the forum): One of my major goals is to generate musical material with an object-oriented representation of musi

Constant sized rehersal marks?

Using "\set Score.markFormatter = #format-mark-circle-numbers" how would one go about making sure that all the rehersal marks are the same size (i.e. the radius of the circle is constant and the font inside scales to fit, and digits are centered within the circle?). Here's an example score that I

Apologies if others have solved this in the past, but I wasn’t able to find a solution on the list quickly. I’m trying to write both a stopped and accented note, that is slurred to an open note. I’m having trouble with the stopped and accented articulation occurring overtop of each other. Add

HI Matt, Welcome to Lilyponding. Your missive reads as though you can wrap your head around things well enough. Sometimes it is dangerous to think about things in terms of Finale methods. Of course parts can be extracted. In this case, parts are a thing of formal structure. My advice to proceed, a

Hi Matt, if you mean "part" like the music of one instrument or singer, for sure this is possible: You can store each such part in a variable (say flute and piano) and then you can print one of them: \flute or \piano or you can print the combined score of the two: << \flute \piano >> Thi

Very briefly; I think of it as building scores rather than extracting parts. I keep my music definitions for all the parts in one file and then make scores, which may only consist of a single part. I use an '\include' to call make the definitions available. maybe this will help: http://www.

To make it short: LilyPond has a totally different approach to "extracting" parts. And I'm sure it will serve you well. Basically you store your music in variables (e.g. one variable for each "part", say "violin 1" or "soprano"). Then you put them together in a \score { } expression, stacking a
