Hi Everyone, For a piece that has a time signature of 28/4 is it possible to set lilypond to have barlines dropped in automatically? for example the piece is in 24/8 but the grouping would be 6+4+4 + 6+4+4 so, after 6 beats, a barline, then after 4 beats a barline, after another 4 a barline,

You can use something like the method written in the Line breaking section of the manual. \new Staff { << \new Voice { \repeat unfold 10 { \time 6/4 s4*6 \time 4/4 s1 s1 } } \new Voice { \relative { c4 d e f g a c b a g c d e f} } >> Bert ___ lilyp

Or (if you don't want the changing time signatures, just the additional bar lines): \new Staff { << \new Voice { \repeat unfold 10 { s4*6 \bar ":" s1 \bar ":" s1 } } \new Voice { \relative { \time 28/4 c4 d e f g a c b a g c d e f} } >> /Mats Bertalan Fodor wrote: You can use something like

TupletBracket behaviour

When the size of a TupletBracket gets too small, it disappears leaving just the TupletNumber. While I can see that this might be attractive in some circumstances I would like to switch it off (so the TupletBracket always prints.) Is there a way to do this? At the moment, I'm putting small increa

Glissando notation?

It seems in Lilypond (v2.10.14) the default notation for glissandos is a straight line. I've never seen that notation used for glissando before so I have no idea why it's the default, but that's OK because everything can be changed, right? So I tried "\override Glissando #'style = #'zigzag", think
