How would I add rests in lyricmode? In the song that I am arranging, I need a couple of chords to occur without any lyrics, then the lyrics come in after say 2 measures worth of rests. On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 2:15 PM, Pierre Perol-Schneider < pierre.schneider.pa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Ryan, H

Hello, Basically, I want to create this: http://lilypond.org/ly-examples/chart.png without the melody. So just lyrics with chords on top. The manual isn't very helpful - in fact, it says, "You are better off using another program". Let's say I want to use Lilypond because it will look great a

Figured it out! I went back to Thomas' recommendation and did this: \score { << \new Staff { \mynotes } \new TabStaff { \set TabStaff.stringTunings = \stringTuning { \repeat unfold 24 { s1 } } } >> } I simply needed to unfold skipped measures 24 times, and I took out the \break as the string

s is because they are blank, my students have to fill in the appropriate location of each of those particular notes. You will see I just put a \hide within the \new TabStaff { , and I am sure there is something to put after \hide that will hide the Tab notes, but I just can't find it in the

Hello, I am trying to add a completely blank tablature to some music. The idea is to create a worksheet where my students have to fill in the tablature for notes. I think I need to utilize the \hide feature within a \new TabStaff { but I just can't figure it out, nor can I find it in the manual.

I could not find that \override string anywhere. Using the terse form of fret-diagram, simply adding a hyphen should have put fingerings below automatically but on mine it does not! This is version 2.18.2. However another user did send me the override string and I got them to appear. On Friday, Ja
