In addition to Laura's proposal, there are many possibilities. I would even consider using the ordinary section numbering mechanism to do the numbering. It's easy to redefine the layout of a \section. For the page headers, one convenient package is fancyhdr (I hope you know that you can run the co

Putting horizontal brackets at a fixed y-position

2005-09-26 Thread sven
Is there already a non-hackish way of putting horizontal brackets (voltas and analysis brackets) at a *fixed* y-position unaffected by the bracketed music? If not I'm willing to sponsor such a feature that for both volta brackets and analysis brackets lets me do, for instance \override HorizontalB

Why not install the stable version 2.6? I wouldn't be suprised if the package available for download at www.lilypond.org works out of the box on your system (at least the intention is that it should work on all normal Linux systems). If you still want to build it yourself, just make sure that you

My guess is that it's some specific combination of Acroread version, printer and Ghostscript version. The easiest fix is probably to upgrade Acroread to a newer version. Hopefully that helps. /Mats Gordon Gilbert wrote: Hi all! I've recently noticed that when I print one of my PDF files, th

2005-09-26 Thread Mats Bengtsson
Are you seriously saying that you want high notes to actually pass through the brackets? What you can do is to reduce the padding and increase the staff-padding (or minimum-space, which is used in the default settings for VoltaBracket, for some reason). Then, the distance from the stave will be m

I gues since no one answered back than ignoring ties is not possible. Fortunately I gave the song another listen and I don't need to ignore the tie. Instead it's the grace note I need to deal with. The word 'for' should land on the grace note and the syllable 'hon' needs to land on the main note
