For example, you can define your own music function that has a single numerical argument (for example to modify some spacing parameters). The syntax for such a function would be exacty of the form \myvar 1. /Mats [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would expect that \myvar1 refers to the variable

Every time you do \new Lyrics, you get a new Lyrics context, which is placed on a separate line. Just include all your lyrics sections into one and the same Lyrics context if you want them vertically aligned, i.e. replace your current \score block with \score { << \new Staff = "whole"

I'm not sure that this answers the original question on how to add a page break before a markup. According to http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2006-06/msg00210.html it should be possible to add a \pageBreak at the end of the previous score, though. /Mats Jean-marc LEGRAND wrote

Hi ! I've not been through all your score, but I know that break pb are often tied to paging pb. I mean you have to be very carefull with multiple voices : they have to be "breakable" at the same time and the same place. Regards PS : try a simple example before breaking in a huge score.

I must have dreamt that I tried it. Anyway, it seems that the unit of the argument is not the same as for global-set-staff-size. If you try #(layout-set-staff-size (* 14.0 pt)) you will get the correct size. Still, the staff line spacing isn't adjusted as long as the function is called within a \l

The short answer is that there haven't been any syntax changes between 2.10.0 and 2.10.7, so there's no need to run convert-ly. Anyway, the procedure is: - Start a command prompt: Start Menu -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt - Change working directory to the folder where you have you
