soprano line with splitting voices and different lyrics

Hi again, I am trying to do the following for a soprano line that splits (div) 2x and the second division has each part singing different lyrics with different melisma. I wonder if the following setup will work as I have yet to have success: sopOneMusic \context Voice = "sopranoOne" { s1*14 one

one line - two voices + 2 sets of lyrics

Hi, I am setting up a piece of music that has a soprano and alto line. I have figured out how to add lyrics to the alto line but realise that my soprano lyrics will be tricky. The soprano line is primarily one voice but at two locations, I need to split into two parts. I have accomplished this

padding between key signature, time signature, and first note of bar

Hi again, How do I pad between time signature and first note of a bar? I notice that the first note following a time signature is almost touching the time sig. I seem to recall this being a bug but was wondering if it was fixed now or how to force some padding? I amd including links to three p

piano staff dynamics and template found in docs.

2.6.x and fonts with accents

Hi all, I just upgraded from 2.4.5 to 2.6.3 in Debian "testing" and converted my few meager scores. I noticed that (and expected) that the fonts would be handled differently but am not sure of how to put simple accents and such in titles and markup. I want a ~ over an "n" in the title - "Habener

no TeX in new lily but is there lilypond-book?

Hi, I am still using 2.4.5 in Debian "testing" but understand that the use of TeX is no longer happening in the 2.6 series of releases. Can the lilypond-book "snippets in a document" still happen? Just curious. Sterling MacNay ___ lilypond-user mail

Re: newer Debian release soon?

Hi, Will there be a newer Debian release soon? I am suspecting Ghostscript might be holding things up. Is a personal build from source hard or achieveable... again, Ghostscript dependencies might be an issue. Anyone know about this? Thanks in advance, Sterling MacNay

Mats, Thanks a lot. That was the issue. I just edited the define-grobs.scm file (which I found easier than trying to write the proper syntax in my .ly file as an \override) and it worked. I need to keep reading on how to put in these override commands and where to actually put them. Syntax is

key signature and notes after - spacing

Hi, I think that the problem I am having with key signatures crowding my bar is that my piece starts in C# - , goes to C# + , then back to C# -. In the first C# - section, the spacing between key sig and notes is ok. In the C# + section, the spacing becomes crowded and remains so into the second

key signature crowding first notes of bar

Hi, How do I, in the right hand of a piano score, make a chord as follows: e and g (half note) with [c d e] triplet above. The c d e is three quarters played by the right hand while the rh is holding the e and g half notes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Sterling __

Re: ec-fonts-mftraced installed properly

Hi, Mats... I think the fonts are installed as properly as can be in linux. I did a 'dpkg-reconfigure ec-fonts-mftraced' and then ran 'texhash' for good measure. All went fine. I still need to NOT specify the .map file to have success. If I specify the map file, my output fonts look bad. Thanks
