Re: First Mutopia contribution -- looking for some critique

2014-01-21 Thread Glen Larsen
As a first pass review: Needs a midi section (I did a quick one with 'choir aahs' for vocals and 'acoustic grand' for the piano, \tempo 4=100, and it sounded quite nice.) You are going to great lengths to keep this to 2 pages. This is fine but Mutopia will want to create both A4 and Letter sizes

The best place to look is within emacs: with a .ly file loaded get help on the mode ( c-h m ). At least that will give you a list of the key-strokes that will do something LilyPond-ish. By far what I use the most is 'C-c C-l' to compile a LilyPond file and provide messages from the compilation in a

I often use this when developing guitar tabs so the MIDI output doesn't double up: \new TabStaff = "Guitar tabs" \with { \remove "Staff_performer" } On Wed, Aug 7, 2013 at 5:48 AM, Jan Kašpar wrote: > Hello, > > I wonder whether there is a simple way of excluding a staff from th
