Dear list, I am using invisible barlines in the middle of a line in a score. I would like to completely eliminate any effect that these invisible barlines have on note spacing. I know I could just remove them, but there is no way to determine which ones would fall in the middle of the lin

Custom chord suffix, no chord name

2005-12-13 Thread Basil Crow
I'd like to display a chord that says just "Un." -- nothing else. In Finale, I'd handle this by setting no chord name and then making a custom chord suffix for "Un." What's the appropriate way to do this in LilyPond? I read "7.2.3 Printing chord names," but the chordNameExceptions method seems to

Large initial indent?

Hyphenation

Hey, Do any of you use a tool to hyphenate lyrics? With all the free hyphenation tools out there, it seems ludicrous that hyphenation can't be done automatically. Yet I can't seem to find the right tool for the job. I tried LilyPondTool 0.2.8-4 both with jEdit 4.3pre2 and 4.2 and the OpenOff
