AFAIK to put an image on a web-page, I need a bitmap, not a .pdf. I can't find any reference to .png in any of the docs. So far I've been using alt-printScreen and Paint to produce .png files. While this sort of works, I'm not getting the best output that Lilypond can deliver, due to minor

re: vertical spacing between scores

2009-05-06 Thread Gerard McConnell
the distance between the title and first score increased an awful lot. After much tinkering with the numbers I got an acceptable result, but it would be nice to know why things were not predictable. I'm pretty much a newbie, so hopefully one of the experts will step in here. G

Having worked on the docs for 4 years and approximately three thousand hours, you really don't need to convince me. Just convince others -- and perhaps yourself -- that it's worth getting involved. My work at this point is a meta-contributor: I contribute (teach) people how to contribute to lily

I've been looking at the Re: date in footer thread; I can understand how the experts get annoyed. They're doing lots of volunteer work to develop what is a really beautiful (but horrendously difficult to learn) program, and figure that the rest of us should be doing our bit to sort out the doc

Hello, I would like to use Lilypond to write sight-reading exercises for my piano students. The exercises are generally 8 bars long, on a single system, with a final barline at the end of each line. Each new line requires a time signature. How do I suppress the time signature which is insert
