Preventing stuff from clashing with ledger lines

Hi, I noticed that grace notes do not follow the same as normal notes. Normally, notes which are placed beyond ledger lines will have longer stems to avoid clashing with them. Certainly, it is possible to tweak the stems individually, but is it possible to automate this for grace notes? Same goes

Re: trillSpan question:

Hi Kira; No problem! I do very much appreciate comments regarding the performance aspects of the music I try to engrave. I think I will write my own trill function for midi (not in Scheme/Guile :-) but in Perl) which will generate alternating 32nd notes or something like that which I can just

Re: trillSpan question:

😂 Sorry if I went overboard! I think you are probably asking too much from midi - the nuance won't be there. Have you considered consulting a different arrangement of the piece, and seeing what sort of trill is notated there? That specific notation that you used probably wasn't original to the piec

Re: trillSpan question:

Hi Kira; Thank you for your elaboration on the performance aspects of the trill. I implemented the trill span; it was not intuitive to me to end the trill span on the following note, but it seems to work. I implemented articulate.ly on the piece and the trill sounds ***AWFUL*** It sounds l

Re: trillSpan question:

I can't speak to the Lilypond notation, but only to the actual score notation. When is this piece of music from? Different composers used various trill markings to mean different things, but the 16th notes, although they are notated normally, are probably part of the ornament. There isnt really a s

Re: trillSpan question:

So, it appears that \stopTrillSpan being placed on the following note does not include the following note in the trill; I guess that was not obvious to me. The third question is that the trill does not appear in the midi output, but articulation.ly would implement it? Thanks again, Ken Wolcott

trillSpan question:

Hi; I have trouble understanding how to implement the \startTrillSpan and \stopTrillSpan. I have two screenshots. The first is an obvious \trill, no span needed. The second requires the span, but I don't know how to place the \stopTrillSpan. I see the trill section in the Notation Re

Re: mixed piano bracket style

Does anyone know if there was ever an answer to this? I’m re-engraving a score that has a piano pedal style with “Ped”, then a solid line, then a “*” at the end. It’s close to “mixed” style but with an added “*” at the end.  Thanks in advance,Michael

Hi again, Decreasing the font size (e.g. to 15) and/or increasing the line-width (e.g. to 7.5\in) so there are no lyric interactions/adjustments essentially eliminates the alignment problem(s). That being said, even with very spacious setups, there are still [extremely small] horizontal variat
