adding slurs to notes passed form a user defined function

2013-12-31 Thread Paul Malcolm
This is my problem. Ive written a crude little function ScaleDegree = #(define-music-function (parser location Degree) (ly:music?) #{ $Degree #}) All this thing does is write one note according to the argument passed to it. Say for example I define "the" note as zero = \relative c' { g4 } The

2013-06-15 Thread Paul Malcolm
Most of the offsets and padding for objects seem to be for above the staff. I would like to display a filled square and triangle for indications of 5/8 time beat groupings, but I want them underneath the staff. For example under the given C note c4.\DB^\markup{\center-align \larger \triangle

I have a question on what might be possible in a user defined function with "music" passed to such a function, especially with respect to how notes are arranged in the etc in the output Suppose I have a little function like this MyPattern = #(define-music-function (parser location x y) (ly:

excuse me, just a trivial question, but I cannot seem to find the answer. I want to add the date variable to one element of text in my title. I have this in the preamble date = #(strftime "%d-%m-%Y" (localtime (current-time))) What I want to do is somehow add/concatenate this to a text str

beat length and beaming problem

I have the following (perhaps trivial) but interesting problem.  I would like to manually set the beat length (for beaming purposes) inside a  \times n/m {} construction.  The music is 2/4 time and I need groupings of two sextuplets on the 1/4 note beat.  Ordinarily  \times 4/6 {c16 c c c c c

I am a new user to Lilypond and Im a Viola player. Typesetting music for string players is my interest. 1) What I would like to do is use a circumflex to mark a semitone. This is widely used by string teachers but I cannot see how to do it in Lilypond. For example e f would be written (rough

2009-09-14 Thread Paul Malcolm
Can anyone answer the following. I am a string (Viola) player and need some special markings  in my sheet music. One is the usual semitone marker. This is like a circumflex between two notes.  For example e f  would be written roughly as  e^f  but with the circumflex over the two notes.  Is ther
