Perhaps I will have to. The reason I haven't done it yet, is because this is part of a bigger project, in which only some verses of some hymns are laid out this way, and the lyrics and melodies are all pulled from a database, so it is convenient for the different options within hymns to be as smal

I was just about to post that solution (print-all-headers, no book or book part). I also do short children's piano pieces. The solution also works for variations. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Hello-a-1st-question-tp204966p204990.html Sent from the User

setting ragged-right at a specific forced break

2017-08-11 Thread Benjamin Bloomfield
Hi, I'm trying to figure out a way so that when I force a line break using \break, I can have the line that breaks there act as though ragged-right were set in the layout block. For a better understanding, I will explain *why*: I am putting line breaks so that each new verse of a hymn starts on a

Hi list, if I understand correctly LilyPond already supports OpenType features and this will be documented in the next version (changes already have been pushed to master). Is this only for use in markup \overrides or can you select features document-wide? This would be nice: \paper { #(de

Amazing, thanks Lukas! I'll play around with this later but at first glance it looks like it ought to be able to do what I'd like. Regarding your point about key changes within a piece, it's luckily not really relevant to me since the kind of music that's written using shape notes almost never ch

Hi Barry, nevertheless, here is a working solution (derived from http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/learning/advanced-tweaks-with-scheme). Beware though: The notehead style is chosen here on a by-sounding-pitch basis, so it has to be adapted for pieces in another key. But for the reasons

Hi List, I'm transcribing a cantata in Latin, and the last section has two verses, each of which includes alternative versions of the text. My Latin is nonexistent, so I don't know why this would be, but here's an example (transcribed as best I can) of what it looks like: 1 [ qua ] te ro go, [a

Thanks, but I found the solution. I simply inserted gspawn-win32-helper.exe into the McAfee excluded list for Real-Time Scanning. And, just to make sure, I also inserted gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe there too. Also, I apologize for mispelling "with" as "ewith" in the third sentence of my p

Hi Barry, unfortunately I do not have a ready-made solution - while it's possible to change the ambitus note heads to a single specific sign by issuing (for example) \override AmbitusNoteHead.style = #'do in the \layout block, this is not a solution since it changes both ambitus note heads at the

Hi all, As a newbie to this wonderful software I have a slightly odd request. I set vocal music using shape notes (\sacredHarpHeads or \aikenHeads). I've recently discovered the ambitus function, which is really useful. I wonder, is it possible to add the correct shaped noteheads to the ambitus
