"ignoring between-system-padding"

Hello List I have a generous between-system-padding = #6 for my score, but this gets overriden when the pdf is created, with the following message: warning: Can't fit systems on page -- ignoring between-system-padding Is there a way to maintain the system padding I want, at the expense of how m

longfermata over measure rest?

Hello List \fermataMarkup does the trick for a regular fermata over a measure rest, is there something like \longfermataMarkup ? Any other way to do this ? Regards Tom ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailma

vertical system spacing -adjusting only selected systems

Hello List I have a piece of music for a solo (single stave) instrument, with about 10 systems per page. Of those, I use \bar "||" \break for about two systems per page, and wish to add additional space/padding before the next system in those cases (these breaks separate subsections of the piece

Re: Stopwatch time in markup

OK, I'll do it this way, the arguments to the music-fn are now strings and not integers, so no integer-> string conversion needed. It would be better to still use integers and then pad a 0 where required, but I'm not sure how to do this. stopwatch = #(define-music-function (parser location minu

utf-8 characters

Hello List I understand the way to put special characters into markup is as below (from Mark's reply to the stopwach question below - although missing the struck out letters - read on). But how do I strike out the "char" part in LilyPond (Mac X.4.11)? Unlike, other charcters, like 中, for example

Stopwatch time in markup

Hello List I want to print stopwatch timings in a score, surrounded by a little box. I've been through the help files and the archives of this list, but since quotation marks are special characters, it's not straight-forward and I've not managed to get this right. I'm aiming for somthing like:

tuplet bracket required, override doesn't work?

Hello List A triplet that begins with a quaver (8) rest, followed by a crotchet (4) note, by default prints no bracket. This I thought unusual, more so that an overide as below seems to make no change either. Is there a simple way to have brackkets print by default in such cases? \override Tuple

Re: Beam collision next note's accidental within single voice

hough the third is tempting because simple, it goes against my strict self-enforced stem direction policy. I think the e-flat shifting to the right is what _should_ happen since horizontal spacing is always less strict than, say, stem legnths? So I'd be interested to know how to do a hor

Beam collision next note's accidental within single voice

Hello list how can I move a beamed note (the e-flat below) to the right, to avoid collision of the accidental with the beam of the preceding note? I've managed to lift the beams OK by overriding the beam positions, but what's needed i think is a horizontal right shift e-flat. I've looked at pos

Re: Artificial harmonics with sounding pitch in parenthesis

Thanks Jon that was really helpful. From your post and lily docs, I've cobbled together the following below, which seems to work OK, aiming to use a global variable to save some space. A question about this: is there a way to move the parenthesisation (\parenthesize) to within the global variab

Artificial harmonics with sounding pitch in parenthesis

Hello List is it possible to combine harmonics notation with a small stemless parenthesized note indicating the sounding pitch of a string harmonic? Something like -but also including a small stemless notehead (\tiny?) for the e'' This is common in C20th notation. I'm not familiar enough w
