Hi, I have been using the docs and find some places to be to
abbreviated.
The cheat sheet is one. It seems to be geared only to those who know
lilypond already.
I have friends who I am trying to win over to lilypond, but they keep
telling me its to complicated.
an example to illustrate:

Duh! That's what r1 does. R1 works much better. Please ignore this

You have to specify the tempo together with the music of the
stave where you want it to appear. If you go to the on-line
version of the manual and read the section on Metronome marks
you can click on the example to see the corresponding input
.ly file to see exactly how to do it.

Actuall
Always use R1 (or R2. or R2 if you are in 3/4 or 2/4, respectively) for
whole bar rests. This has nothing to do with cue parts.

Hi, I just put in a MM and the note was huge way out of porportion to
the notes in the score and the paper size.
Must I do something special to fix this???
In most printed music with a MM it is usually quite small

I've been wanting to do the same thing with the alignment of the stanza numbers, so I

and experimenting a little, I added the line:

Actually, I think the only reason that you get some strange errors in
your log file is that the bug-lilypond-cygwin script hasn't been
updated since the documentation was moved from /usr/doc/ to

Well, then I think it depends on the language of lyrics. According to
Hungarian conventions beams never mean melismata, only slurs and ties.
(I came to this problem when I wanted to "unbeam" two notes. Can it be
done
without switching autobeaming temporarily off?)

thanks, stefaan, for your example of correct implementation of
allowBeamBreak --- it is a great relief to have this functioning.
now i am wondering if there is any way to make the broken beam follow
the angle it would have taken if unbroken (other than manually tweaking
them). i have a sequence
