Frescobaldi: missing menu bar FIXED

I'd like to record a fix, of sorts, for a missing menu bar in Frescobaldi under a rather specific combination of circumstances. It might help someone. Possibly future-me! I run Frescobaldi on an Ubuntu 22.04 system, with an Apple-Mac-OS-X- like KDE theme that puts the menus of the currently-focuss

I have a monstrous music-function that constructs a markup in Scheme and then decides whether to put it at system-level or staff-level, along the following lines (much-redacted): foo = #(define-music-function (args...) (types...) (let* ((markupContents #{ \markup { \co

selectively suppressing barlines?

In transcribing renaissance polyphony, I like to do three things: 1. represent the final "longa" of a section with a single note, rather than a series of notes tied over barlines, while other parts continue twiddling away; 2. use \RemoveEmptyStaves to produce a Frenched s
