Our music book's pieces are almost completed, and I've written most of them in LilyPond (updating it from CVS frequently). There's a lot of non-trivial notation and many places where I had to resort to tricks to get clean output. Would it be useful for you developers if I share the .ly source of

Fermata on multi measure rest

2004-12-01 Thread Antti Kaihola
Is there a neat way to have a fermata centered on a multi measure rest? I'm using: { \once \override Script #'extra-offset = #'(2.5 . 0) s1*0\fermata R1 | \repeat unfold 5 { c4 d e f | } % some music to fill up the staff } Unfortunately I have to adjust the extra-offset whenever my layout ch

line with this method. Eventually I used raw PostScript code (scary...) to get exactly what I want. Separately adjustable gaps for both ends of glissandi and other line and slur objects would be great, though. > Antti Kaihola wrote: > > On a piano staff, I need a glissando line from a quarte

Trick: tilted "glissando" text

I'd like to share a postscript hack I used to print the "gliss." text under a scale passage and tilt the text according to the angle of the scale. You can adjust according to your layout the - angle (here -15 degrees) - offset (5 -2) - scale (12.0) - font (\CMTI12) - text (gliss.) Please point ou

Hi LilyPonders, On a piano staff, I need a glissando line from a quarter note on last beat of the upper staff to a note on the first beat of the lower staff: \context PianoStaff << \context Staff=upper { r2. c''4 \glissando \change Staff = lower d4 r2. } \context Staff=lower

How to engrave cluster chords in LilyPond 2.3? I'd like to have a narrow and tall rectangular notehead which spans a fifth, with the duration of a quarter note. It would also be nice to be able to have a natural and/or flat/sharp sign for the cluster chord to denote a cluster for white, black or b
