Mr. Nalesnik: thank you for making public your scheme code
for writing Roman Numeral/figured bass analysis:

This code has been invaluable to me for writing examples for a music
theory course.
I have one small issue, and that is,
In a vocal part I am notating, while the singer mostly
sings notated pitches, there are a few parts
where the singer will speak text in notated
rhythm.
When this is done is scores that I have seen,
sometimes it is done with just stems, flags and
beams (but no note heads) such as in

Ok, if I remove the "\stemUp" commands the
lowest voice does line up vertically.
However, when I remove the "\stemUp" commands, I get
In this example, why does the lowest voice not line

What do I need to do to make this voice line up?

I am still relatively new to lilypond.
I have a simple four voice choral attached.

This example produces numerous warnings about
clashing notes which look like:

I am interested in controlling the vertical spacing
within systems.
I recently migrated from 2.12.2 to 2.15.39 .
In my one lilypond score, the spacing between
systems changed greatly between the PDFs built with
these two versions

This was the ticket. I am such a MIDI novice that at first,
I did not know what this meant. I found a "channel" button on
my Alesis synth though, started pushing it, and
I am _absolutely new to MIDI. I am however
able to get some random MIDI files I found on the

However, I cannot get any Lilypond created midi

I cannot get this syntax to work. Lilypond compiles but

I would like to be able to use Lilypond to create musical
examples for inclusion in papers and slides, and often,
these musical examples will have no notated meter.
With such examples, I will want to control exactly how much
space each examples takes so that they can "line up" with
other examples

Actually, can you identify the place in the reference manual that the above
syntax (the parts with the asterisks) is discussed?
Thanks again.

Thanks; this helps me greatly.

I have been reading the archives, and if I understand
correctly, the _only_ way to make a hairpin crescendo
or decrescendo last a duration that is shorter than an entire
whole or half note is to add a pseudo voice of "invisible
rests" and notate your hairpins to the pseudo voice.
