question about multi measure rests from a blind user

Hello all, I was just curious as to what the difference is between the commands \compressFullBarRests and \set Score.skipBars = ##t ? I arranged some salsa charts that were performed over the weekend, My friend who played trumpet mentioned that I had a rest that was 32 bars long. He told me th

Re: Control which voice if shifted left

I see. Nice score, and it’s definitely an element of style that it’s done this way. On p.5, 2nd system, it might also improve legibility, I think – but then the following staff is deliberately difficult to read again, as Satie sometimes made it. So it’s unfortunate that Lily doesn’t provide an

Input for "\chords": What data type?

Dear list fellows, I am trying to write a function which outputs chord symbols after transposing them. But what type of data do I need for the input of the "\chordmode" or "\chords" function, i.e stuff like { c1 d:m f g:7 } ? \chords { c1 d:m f g:7 } returns: C Dm F G7 a

Thanks for your reply. This score is from 1916 so maybe it didn't adhere to the standard or maybe it wasn't well established then. I'll try engraving it with the modern standard. On Mon, Jun 15, 2015 at 10:24 AM Simon Albrecht wrote: > Am 15.06.2015 um 16:50 schrieb Knute Snortum: > > I haven'

Re: Nashville notation as chord symbols

Hi all, the remaining problem of the Scheme function is: how to access the current root of the key signature in the function definition. For even if we explicitly state the root again in the definition, it would be immensely problematic if the piece contained a key change. Since Lilypond does have

Re: Nashville notation as chord symbols

Dear Klaus, Stan, the following code moves the transposition into the #note-name->international-markup routine, thereby eliminating MIDI playback problems. Downside: we still cannot pass the tonic to the routine directly, but have to state it there anew. And, of course, the rhythmic elements of N

Hi Amy, hmm... sounds difficult. My first idea would be: Take the whole chord sequence and transpose it back to C major. However, this will also affect the MIDI output. I hope this helps: % - \version "2.18.2" % Chords #(define (note-name->intern

Hi list, I'm trying to resize a gregorian style engraving. However what works nicely for "normal" Staffs does not seem to work for gregorian. See the following example: <-- snip -- snip -- snip -- snip --> \version "2.18.2" \include "gregorian.ly" music = \relative c { e e \[ d\melisma \flexa c

Re: Nashville notation as chord symbols

Hi Stan, Klaus, the following snippet does Nashville numbers correctly for the key of C (except for the rhythmical symbols). In order to adapt this to other keys we'd need to hand the routine two pitches, the chord root and the current key, and have it compute the difference between the two, which
