This is a very popular question this week. Please always tell what LilyPond version you use, to be sure to get a relevant answer. For version 2.7, see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2006-03/msg00239.html For version 2.6, read the section on "Spacing Lyrics" in the manual for Lil

Synchronizing staves with grace notes

2006-03-18 Thread Junge
I'm having some trouble with synchronizing the upper and lower stave in a piano score where I have some grace notes and polyhony in the right hand.   I need to tie a "des" in the grace notes to the normal "des"-note following the grace notes and have finally managed to do that. However, to s

Re: System spacing

By default, LilyPond should not reserve any space for a lyrics line if there is no lyrics on that particular score line, so I expected your example to work exactly as you desire. (The exception to what I said is the first score line, where you can read more for example in http://lists.gnu.org/arch

I have a couple of files converted from an older version, but I can't get the second verse printed. What I can find in the manuals is so much different that I am at loss. Any help? This is how it looks like (ignore the [, these are to only included to get it posted): textocantus=\lyricmode{ Ag

\parallelMusic and \relative

2006-03-18 Thread Werner LEMBERG
It seems that \parallelMusic doesn't work with \relative. This makes it very unnatural to work with. Any chance to implement something similar, say, a special mode where the first note in a `section' is absolute and the remaining notes relative to it? \parallelMusic #'(foo bar) { c'' d e
