Re: chords in piano staff

Thanks again, it worked perfectly, but just to go deeper in this, and to understand better about lilypond layout, what I can do if I want to move only the chords a bit up or down; i.e. now the chords are not perfectly centered but they are closer to the upper staff. Greetings Libero Mureddu >--

Re: invoking Lilypond from a script

Just to rule out things, I take it you looked at the "convert - DVI to Postscript.scpt" that comes with the folder actions (or a similar one)? My guess is that you need to use the --output=FILE option of Lilypond. This option is in 2.4.2. I haven't checked with 2.2.5 due to lack of availability

cluster using vertical line

2005-04-09 Thread Qian Li
I'm trying to draw a vertical line between two noteheads, positioned opposite from the stem. It notates a cluster with the noteheads giving the range. (the make cluster function, as Antti wrote in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2004-09/msg00257.html , is not precise enough) Qian

Chords in Lead Sheets?

2005-04-09 Thread S L Raymond
I'm having difficulty finding any documentation that explains how to create chord nomenclature. I've only figured out the basics: :7, :maj, etc., but I'm struggling with "sus," "half diminished" and others. Isn't there a list of naming conventions somewhere? _
