Something like #'height-limit for ties in 2.8.1?

Hi list, (version 2.8.1 on debian sarge) With \override Slur #'height-limit = #'3 it is possible to get a slur with higher maximum point. I'm very surprised to realize, that there doesn't seem to be the same feature for ties. Or couldn't I simply find it? Thanks for any help ... Best Regard

Problem with polyphony - noteheads don't merge

If you read in "Common Tweaks" in the manual, you can learn about the property called transparent. However, in this case, I don't think you want the removed clefs and key signatures to occupy any space. Then, you can instead add \override Score.KeySignature #'stencil = ##f \override Score.Clef #

.Time signature is 3/8 by the way new bars are on a new line. If the bars didn't have the right value in them, it would cause many more problems than what the PDF shows. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Extra-Rests-%21-t1477345.html#a3999190 Sent from the Gnu - Lilyp

Naomi: Your code comes out just fine here (Mac OS X, Lilypond 2.8.1) -- perhaps the error is earlier in the code, or in another part? Ensure that all of your \times (for tuplets) are not \time (which would force a time signature change). Good luck! Kieren. __

using oneVoice vs force-hshift in polyphany and alternatives

Sure, the notes are in the right place. The interaction between the various parts is baffling though. Using \oneVoice to set the notes over one another seems to make the stems go up; \stemDown erases the effect of \oneVoice and \oneVoice cancels \stemDown. Apparently \override NoteColumn #'force

You can easily typeset a text annotation below or above a note using c^"Text above" or c_"Text below" respectively, as described in the section of Text scripts in the manual. See also the section on Text marks. However, your example code below doesn't include any chords, so I can't say how that s

These properties are ordinary layout properties, so if you for example use the \markup as a lyrics syllable, then you can do \override LyricText #'word-space = ... within the current lyrics line. You can also do the setting globally for all Lyrics contexts as described in "Changing default conte
