Page Turns During Cues

Hey all, I have a piece that, due to its rhythmic complexity, needs a lot of cues in the parts. Unfortunately, as a result, several of the parts have three pages of consecutive music where LilyPond can't put a page turn. Is there a setting somewhere I can use to tell the page turn engraver that it

Lilypond-book Cutting off Slurs

Hey all, When I use lilypond-book to add an example with cross-staff beaming, the slurs that run under the bottom staff get cut off. Is there a way to either automatically detect that the slurs are there and not cut them off or manually control the margins of the cropped file? I've attached a mini

Bracket only some notes in a chord

Hey all, I have a situation where I would like to use a square bracket (like the square arpeggio bracket) around only two notes in a piano chord to indicate that the pianist should play both of them with their thumb. I've tried searching the manuals, list archives, and LSR for snippets relating bo

Daniel, Yes, when you use the "\include" function, LilyPond will treat the included file as though it is entirely included in the including file. So if you have an active "\score { . . . }" block inside the included file, LilyPond will generate that block as well as the "\score { . . . }" block in

Moving Ottava Text

Hey all, I'm using 2.18.0, and I need to move the "8va" part of an ottava bracket to the left to avoid a collision with a beam. I've tried several things, to no avail: using \override Staff.OttavaBracket.X-offset has no effect as far as I can tell; using \override Staff.OttavaBracket.shorten-pair

Re: font survey: which clef do you prefer?

Janek, I personally prefer the first one, then the third one, then the second one. The third looks like it's twisting in on itself, but still feels more balanced than the second one, which is tilted too far to the right. I find the first more balanced than the third, but only very slightly. My 2¢

Dear list, In one piece I am working on, I have had to add the Bar_number_engraver to the Staff context, and have at one point used \set Staff.currentBarNumber to change the current bar number. Unfortunately, this effect seems to be permanent, i.e. the bar number stops advancing by 1 every bar aft

Rehearsal Marks extend staff lines

ax, but if this change happens at a rehearsal mark, then the staff lines continue a short way after the bar-line into the next measure. From the minimal example, it seems that the length of this intrusion is related to the width of the rehearsal mark. Is there anything that can be done about this? Chee
