Newbie having trouble with transposition(s)

Another first-time LilyPond poster/user here! I've been using LilyPond for about a week now and I'm really loving it already. I'm a brass player who is using LilyPond to create beautiful engravings for brass ensembles. I'm also an engineer who wishes he was better at programming and LilyPond. An

mix dynamic within markup on single note

I am trying to place "submit" markings after dynamics, but I would like the dynamics to be the actual default dynamic font as opposed to bold text. Here is my current hacky approach: %% \version "2.18.2" { \time 4/4 d'4\pp fis' fis'\fermata bes'-\markup{\bold "ff" \italic "sub."}

Re: New User introduction

Welcome, Daniel Chavez - I hope LilyPond is a help to your transcription efforts. I've been using LilyPond for a number of years now, and find that the documentation and the community are a great support. I hope you have a way to find your way around in the documentation. All the best, Ralph On

How can I move the eighth rest to the level of the snare drum part? sn8\rest doesn't seem to be allowed. Any other feedback on my code would also be appreciated. I'm successful with most of my percussion code. \version "2.19.80" \score{ \new DrumStaff \drummode{ \clef percussion << { cymr

Lyric alignment question

Hi list members, Lily naturally spaces measures beautifully when there are no lyrics, but when lyrics are added, she gets thrown off quite a bit. There have been several discussions about that already on the list. Is there a way to have Lily act as if syllables have no width? What I would like

Increasing spacing between staves

Is there some way of increasing or specifying the space between the 2 staves of a piano staff at a particular point in a score? The piece I am setting has a lot of cross-staff beams, and sometimes Lilypond does not allow enough space between the staves for a decent- looking beam.  In those cases I

Re: reciting text over line breaks

Yes, but I want to allow line breaks in the middle of those breves if it makes sense for line breaks to occur there. This is actually the way I had been doing it, but it is a tedious process of trial and error to figure out that, e.g., the line should break after "and" in "always and everywhere",

I simplified the code but this also does not create any dynamics: \version "2.19.80" dynamics = {s4\p \< s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 \!\f} music = \fixed c' {c d e f c d e f} \score { \new Staff {<<\music \dynamics>>} \midi { } \layout {} } ___

This code works well and create a rehearsal mark in a box \version "2.19.80" \mark \markup {*\box {A1}*} Now I would like the same except for the number that should be in subscript. What I should do? I tried this but does not work (it writes A and 1 in two different boxes): \version "2.19.80"

Hi Benjamin, assuming you have your music in a varible called e.g. \music you simply put your verses like shown below and combine them as with any other score. That should give you the desired result. verse = \lyricmode { It \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT "is truly right and
