Hi there, quick question since I cannot find anything in the documentation. Is there a way to have a note head struck out? Meaning the the chord is strum but only with muted strings. Thanks, Christian ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.or

Hi there, adding a dot to a chord duration prolongs it by 50%. "g4.", for instance, is 1.5 beats or three 8th notes. "g4.." is 1.75 beats, I believe. Which would translate into seven 16th notes. But what is "g4..."? Here, with 3 dots. Also, how can I describe a duration that lasts for 2.25 beats?

Hi there, I cannot figure out how to encode a 16th note rhythm. When counting by mouth I would say: "1and 2and 3and 4and" when all notes are taking part. In lilypond I would write: "g16 g g g g16 g g g g16 g g g g16 g g g". But how do I: "1ad 2ad 3ad 4ad"? Please notice I leave out the "n". Thanks
