2023-09-22 Thread Dr. Thomas Tensi
Dear all, about 15 years ago there has been a question on (or "request for") a four bar percent repeat mark. As far as I see this has not yet been implemented in Lilypond possibly due to lack of user interest. Nevertheless note that this seems to be a common notation especially in a jazz or po

Generation of Notation Videos with Lilypond Tool Chain

2016-03-06 Thread Dr. Thomas Tensi
