Hello folks, I have a question about a text spanner in a pre-defined variable. In the snippet below, the first example does everything I want except that in the first line of music, the spanner line doesn't extend to the barline at the end of the line. I've achieved this by using two pre-defi

Re: RehearsalMark under Volta Bracket

Thanks Gilles, for the response. Neither of these worked for me. Happily, I had the solution in the first place. I just had the command in the wrong place and (I think) needed to add a Context to the override. This works: I inserted \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'outside-staff-priorit

RehearsalMark under Volta Bracket

In this example, is there a way to move the "To Coda" rehearsal mark so that it is underneath the Volta Bracket? Also, I'd like to have the brackets on the same baseline (after the mark is moved down). Any hints? Thanks, David %%%ly exmaple below%%% \version "2.13.1" \include "english.ly"

Re: new website: initial comments

Nice new layout. I have only two suggestions: 1. Perhaps justified text (without hyphenation?) would be better for pages with large with paragraphs of text. I'm thinking of the /Engraving Essay/. I think it's cleaner looking and fits better with LilyPond's ethos of beautiful typ

Re: Notation Editor with MIDI

While MuseScore's ability to import *.ly files is a nice feature, the greatest thing about its export of *.ly files is the ability to type a score with keyboard and mouse, and then use LilyPond as the typesetter on the exported *.ly file. MuseScore is still in beta status. Although its feature

Re: Lilypond and Jazz chords

Has anyone checked out the Brandt-Roemer (sp?) volume on chord naming for Jazz/Pop? I read it some time ago and at the time it seemed theoretically and notationally sound. I'll see if I can track down a copy. David Tim McNamara wrote: On May 30, 2009, at 9:50 AM, Carl D. Sorensen wrote: O

Re: tablature.ly - please test and comment

If I may chime in... This may just be a matter of editorial taste, but would it be possible to make it so the 'X' on in the Tab staff is not the musical glyph from Feta, but rather the character 'capital X' from the same font set being used for tab numbers? For example, instead of #'glyph-name

Re: The fastest way to typeset orchestral scores, especially when splitting the work to many workers

It'd be best to split the work amongst many workers who each typeset individual instruments. Then, all the parts can be collected in the conductor's score using \include. See here and her

Re: Dashed, variable-thickness slurs

Righteous. Not to impede your efforts, but can the same idea be applied to ties--the variable thickness, not the half & half? Carl D. Sorensen wrote: Dear LilyPond users, I've posted a patch for approval that implements variable thickness dashed and part-dashed, part-solid slurs. I hope it
