Re: deb for latest

As there are no .deb packages for the 2.5 series yet, the easiest way, as has been suggested to me, is to compile it from source. If you compile with a prefix for your home directory, you don't have to worry about overwriting anything from your stable install. It has also been suggested to me t

Fixing the number of systems per page

Hymnal project; see example file, attached. I'm forcing page breaks so that they only occur at the end of a hymn. As a result, the number of systems varies between five and six systems per page. I would like to always have six systems on each page, and have the horizontal spacing change as neces

Running text at top of staff does not wrap and collides with notes

Please see the example file in my prior post on fixing the number of systems per page. I'm placing inline titles above the opening note of each hymn, to appear above the staff. It does not wrap at line ends, and sometimes collides with stems or beams. Is there a way to fix this, short of manuall

Fonts for lyrics for people who forget their glasses :)

Is there a way of increasing the size of the lyrics without actually increasing the staff size? I've looked on the archives and through the documentation, but perhaps I've just missed it, or it's not possible. Shelagh ___ lilypond-user mailing list li

what does this mean?

Hi all, In the Install.txt file the following is written: If you are not root, you should choose a `--prefix' argument that points into your home directory, e.g.: ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr In this case, you have to insert the contents of `buildscripts/out/lilypond-login' or `b

stemNeutral and autoBeamOff makes b always stem down?

Hi, if autoBeamOff is used, and stemNeutral, is it true that the note b will always get the stem down? Here are two examples which don't look so good in my opinion: { \autoBeamOff g'4 a' b' a' | d''4 d'' a' b' } Result (stem direction Down or Up): U U D U | D D U D I would expect rather: U

Re: missing lilypond-tex-metrics.tex

What version of LilyPond? If version 2.4.x or earlier, did you read about the file lilypond-profile in INSTALL.txt? I recommend you to try the latest development version 2.5.xx instead, which has support for Unicode (UTF-8) input and hopefully should handle Hebrew without any problems. /Mats

Re: Fixing the number of systems per page

How about inserting page breaks explicitly where you want them? Then, LilyPond (version 2.4 or newer) should automatically space them out. You may have to reduce the setting of betweensystempadding, though. /Mats [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hymnal project; see example file, attached. I'm forci
