Hi John, I'm not an iOS programmer, but fwiw, I remember a discussion about this topic from some years back. One thing that came up is that, in iOS, it's not possible (i.e., allowed) to build a iOS lilypond app which is then called from some separate text-editor app. Thus if anything, one wo

Hi Gianmaria, if you use Frescobaldi, there's a "Import Midi" function in the File Menu. In principle, if you produce a midi file from your original ly file, you should be able to reimport the music fully unfolded. The problem is, I've never used this function, and a quick trial just now did

Hi Gianmaria, In addition to the completion head engraver (David's mail), I'd pack the notes without shift in a variable, like variable = { a2 b2 } And use r4 \variable r4 or r8 \variable r8 r4 Or whatever you'd like in the score. Just leave out the bar checks, they'll throw warnings ...

Hi Gregor, your first example doesn't work because what you have in the tuplet is in fact not a tie but a slur. Thus, \slurDashed *does* work. The second example does not work because ties only work between two notes of the *same* pitch, therefore you get a warning about c not being tied to
