At http://lilypond.org/bugs/v2.8/, you can find a list of other open bugs that were not considered serious enough to stop the release of 2.8. If you consider this specific bug serious enough to sponsor a correction, see http://lilypond-design.com/sponsor/ for more information. /Mats Enrico Lic

Re: Chords above music?

2006-05-04 Thread Mats Bengtsson
As soon as you write a \time ... or s1 or break, LilyPond will silently create a stave to be able to handle the time signature and so on. This stave is then used also for the melody, unless you explicitly ask for a new stave. In the following modified version of your code, I have added a line th

When I change the defaults like in the following example (myStaffSize...), the fonts are not scaled to staffsize. When I delete the "myStaffSize" part it works. Is this a bug or did I make a mistake? Thomas Windows XP LilyPond 2.8.1 Code: -- \version "2.7.40" #(set-global-staff-size 26) #(ly:se

Repeats, coda information and lyrics that jump

I have been messing about with some music for about an hour, and I managed to put in a coda symbol, though I am unsure of how to drop in the "Last time to coda" text on the score.  I assume it is embedded in the code for the notes?  What command do I use?   Repeats - I can get a repeat sign, but w

It's much easier to answer your questions if you include some examples of the code you have tried. If possible, try to reduce your examples in size to a few lines of code that still illustrate the problem you are facing. If you (and we) are lucky, you might even find the solution while doing it.

Last time I answered that question on the mailing list I said "In theory yes! In practice, it's probably quite much work involved to get it working." and I haven't heard any other opinions. /Mats Stan Mulder wrote: Can Lily utilize one of those "jazz" fonts that look like hand notation? _

I tried this myself last night (in Linux) - no luck. Lilypond created an SVG file: Inkscape opened it but displayed only the staff lines and a few other bits; OpenOffice tried to open it but failed with a 'general input/output error'. I suspect there is a problem with fonts but I couldn't be
