Why no numbers allowed in variables?

2018-10-02 Thread Maarten Deen
Why are there no numbers allowed in variable names? I like to have some kind of descriptive name for parts of the scores that I make in Lilypond, and not having the possibility to use numbers in a snippet name is a bit awkward. I make do with Roman numerals to get partI, partII, partIII, partIV

Instrument in score block?

2014-06-10 Thread Maarten Deen
Is it possible to define headers (like instrument) in the score context? I've tried, and nothing comes up. Background: I play trumpet and use Lilypond to transpose music. You have parts in F, A, E flat, whatever, and my trumpets are tuned in B flat or C. So what I do is I write the score in a

I have a piece of music in 3/4 which has bars like { d4. c8 b8. a16 } Lilypond groups the last three notes together, making it look like a 6/8 measure, but I want the c8 to be separate and only the b8. a16 to be grouped (like a proper 3/4 would look like). I've tried some settings, like #(over
