hi people, I tried to search for these into docs, but I found everything but not what I needed, so, please, can you explain to me what's the meaning of these notation kinds? : - _\p_ or _ \p _ ( I don't remember well), where 'p' is a dynamic mark - [ a b c d ] (notes written between squar

Re: Rehearsal mark questions

Figures -- I did a few searches looking for automatic bar numbering per this question without finding it, but as soon as I look for something else I found "Printing bar numbers inside boxes or circles" at https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/bars#bar-numbers, and that got things wo

Rehearsal mark questions

I'm duplicating a part that has a couple of different ways of indicating locations. The first way is boxed measure numbers inline every five bars, kind of like how rehearsal numbers are often indicated, but the current measure count rather than a sequentially increasing number or letter. The seco

Yes. The actual code on which the example is based is at https://github.com/nwhetsell/horn-sheet-music/blob/e9f4f5a0569962719dcf6602718400c256e8c7d3/kopprasch-opus-6-60-studies-for-low-horn/main.ly Hopefully this clarifies why I’m handling score headers in Scheme (specifically, some header varia

I’m trying to add PDF bookmarks (to display in PDF readers) to a collection of studies. I’m having three issues: 1. If several studies appear on the same page, the bookmarks appear in reverse order. 2. The bookmarks seem to navigate to the *page* on which a study appears, not the study itself.

Re: 3 questions

Hello Kieren, Using stylesheets is a powerful option in Lilypond. For example I’ve got a cosmetic include that takes care of fonts and many small details, like paper margins, offsetting ^\markup in Dynamics contexts to have them centered. Also I have slightly heavier Beams (Lilypond’s Beams are

Re: 3 questions

I am also a new user, but what draws me to Lilypond is the sheer aesthetics of it. Even the most basic thing created with Lilypond looks 1000 times more professional and attractive than MuseScore, in my opinion! It is a learning curve though, one I’m still slogging through! On Tue, Oct 26, 2021 at

Re: 3 questions

I think that for typesetting purposes Lilypond is more powerful than MusicXML. I have tried MuseScore in the past, probably close to 10 years ago, and I'm sure it has developed a lot since then. For my purposes at that time, however, Lilypond was more effective. When I started using it, I was in

Re: 3 questions

I'm just a beginner, and have used MuseScore a little in the past. It suited my needs then (and probably will again). However, I've switched to LilyPond in order to transcribe a lot of music from a 331-page PDF that was produced by scanning a rather dilapidated book from 1928. The book contains g

Re: 3 questions

I'm not a musescore user, but I came from Finale and Sibelius, and I think MuseScore is like those ones (WYSIWYG), but it's free. The main reason I used Lilypond, and this happened in 2004 (I believe it was version 2.4) was the same reason that made me use LaTeX instead of Word: to concentrate on
