This usually happens when something is not the default way: - you have other TeX installed on the machine (MikTeX is known to work together with lilypond, but other distributions are not) - you have some other HOME directory in cygwin. Please run bash -x /etc/lilypond-profile.sh and then li

I have seen this notation too in transcriptions of vihuela music. I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to implement. Maybe you would need a different notation for a "mobile dot" (e.g. d4*). /Bernard Mats Bengtsson wrote: > You could always play with > \once \override Dots #'extra-offse

I'm afraid Alois answer isn't that relevant. Did you install the ec-fonts-mftraced package? Is it only a problem with text fonts or are the note heads and other music symbols also affected? If you want more accurate help from the mailing list, rather than wild guesses, I recommend to use 'lilypond

I don't know whether the expression "French slur" or "sostenuto slur" does exist in English; what I mean is the following: A slur which is appended to a single note, but does not lead anywhere. It is used e.g. in guitar notation in order to indicate that a note shall last longer than until the nex
