manually set page numbers?

2009-12-03 Thread Peter Kaplan
Is it possible to manually set the page number with which lilypond begins when it engraves its page numbers for a given score? Perhaps a means analogous to that by which one can manually set the bar number with which lilypond begins when it engraves its bar numbers for a given score: \set Score.

begin-repeat and end-repeat signs print inconsistently

2009-11-30 Thread Peter Kaplan
Depending on context, a particular begin-repeat sign or end-repeat sign will refuse to print even though others are printing fine within the same document. Gmane would not allow me to post a snippet, but one can be found at http://pefty.elementfx.com/repeat%20sign%20problem.ly Please share any i

Different header on each page

2009-11-16 Thread Peter Kaplan
I would like to provide a running text translation across the top of each page of a vocal score I am creating. I assume the easiest way to do this would be with the \header block, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to specify what header to place on each page. If the \header block, is not th

Manually place a clef object?

2009-11-11 Thread Peter Kaplan
When a repeated section begins in one clef and ends in another (as in the Basso Continuo part I'm working on), it would be nice to be able to add a "reminder" clef at the end of the repeated section, to alert the player to return to the original clef when the repeat sign is reached. This behavio

using the cut-time symbol for 4/2 etc.

2008-06-30 Thread Peter Kaplan
I am producing an edition in 4/2 time, but I would like to use the traditional symbol for cut time (ยข) rather than the numerical signature (4/2). Is there a straightforward way to do this and still have lilypond create measures that are 4 half-notes long instead of two half-notes long? Thanks pet

I would like to set two short movements of a piece on the same page, but with different line-widths (one movement's lines set at 18cm, the other's left to vary with the text). What is the easiest way to implement this, within a single score? Can I apply a unique \paper { } block to each individ

I am interested in making phrasing slurs that are (graphically, not rhythmically) dotted or dashed, in order to differentiate them visually from ordinary legato slurs (to be represented with solid slurs). Is there a way to do this straightforwardly in lilypond? I Was not able to find it in the ma

crescendo beginning in middle of note duration

2008-03-08 Thread Peter Kaplan
Occasionally a crescendo or decrescendo needs to begin not at the commencement of a note's duration, but rather halfway through the note. Can such a situation be properly typeset using lilypond? If so, how? ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-us
