Checking a bit more carefully, I can confirm that it's \tiny (i.e. font-size -2) that gives the correct size. /Mats Mats Bengtsson wrote: You are right, the markup should probably be \markup {\tiny \number 6 \super (1) } instead of \markup {\number 6 \super (1) } I didn't manage to deciphe

You are right, the markup should probably be \markup {\tiny \number 6 \super (1) } instead of \markup {\number 6 \super (1) } I didn't manage to decipher exactly how the font size setting is done for the normal bass figures, but using \tiny or \small for the markup seems to give a size that bet

Re: LilyPond examples

Hi Cameron, 1) What does LilyPond do well? (I already have that the default output is far better than the equivalent in most software I've seen, and it is very quick once the basics are mastered. I'll also mention the integration with OpenOffice, HTML and LaTeX.) Difficult modern concepts are

Re: LilyPond examples

Pro: - LilyPond supports collaboration very well, as these are only text files (think of mediawiki and other wikis which can support LilyPond). - LilyPond is free, while Sibelius and Finale's even non-profit licenses are expensive. Cameron Horsburgh wrote: Hi folks, Next weekend I'll be att
