RE: grace notes and ledger lines

I checked the 8va and 8vb sections in "Music Notation" by Gardner Read, and 8va is only to be used above the treble clef and 8vb below the bass, and no woodwinds use the 8vb sign. He's obviously only one authority, but he's a good one. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5

Re: grace notes and ledger lines

Hi Noeck, Thanks a lot for your code. Indeed it looks better than the default (particularly the 2nd option for the 32nd notes), but on my case this won't help since I am composing music algorithmicaly, which means I can't afford to tweak things individually, such as using \override Beam.positions

Re: grace notes and ledger lines

Hi Gilberto, here are some tweaks that I consider to look better than the default (one for the 16th and two options for the 32th notes): \version "2.17.95" { \override Beam.length-fraction = #0.69 \override Beam.positions = #'( -3.91 . -3.91) \slashedGrace {c32 c c c} \revert Beam.length-

RE: grace notes and ledger lines

Hi Mark, Thanks for your reply. That would certainly solve the ugly issue, but unfortunately "an octave under" markings are not standard for neither the Clarinet nor the Bass Clarinet, which are the instruments I am writing for now. Actually, I learned that it is considered wrong to use 8va bassa

RE: grace notes and ledger lines

Gilberto, Perhaps writing the pitches one octave higher and using "ottava -1." Mark -Original Message- From: lilypond-user-bounces+carsonmark=ca.rr@gnu.org [mailto:lilypond-user-bounces+carsonmark=ca.rr@gnu.org] On Behalf Of Gilberto Agostinho Sent: Monday, January 13, 2014 11:09
