Re: new to lily pond... freezing during compiling

2007-02-13 Thread Mats Bengtsson
Please always tell what LilyPond version you are using (and on what operating system) when sending questions to the mailing list. The best way to troubleshoot such a problem is to run LilyPond from a command line and look at the log printouts: lilypond myfile.ly or even lilypond --verbose myfile.l

Re: stemUp causes force-hshift to be ignored

2007-02-13 Thread Mats Bengtsson
I'm not 100% certain why force-hshift is ignored, but my guess is that the collision handling takes over. However, I would propose the following solution to your problem: \version "2.11.17" \score { \relative c'' { \time 4/4 \key e \minor \clef treble \override Fingering #'padding = #0.3 \set

Rhythmic slashes, are just too [EMAIL PROTECTED] hard to do

2007-02-13 Thread Rick Hansen (aka RickH)
Currently entering rhythmic slashes are a pain in the butt and have numerous kludge solutions. For example, if you simply change the noteheads to slash and set the notes to middle-line "b" the visual result and spacing is perfect. However the day you need to transpose, the slashes are all over t

I included the lilypond files with \lilypondfile in my latex file. If I translate the lilypond file on it's own with lilypond, the postscript output is ok. If I translate the latex file with lilypond-book, the output has postscript errors. Both the latex file and the .ly files are utf-8 encoded.

Explicit line- and page-breaking

2007-02-13 Thread Trevor Bača
Hi, Every so often someone writes in and asks why Lily ignores some \break or \pageBreak commands. The answer is usually that Lily sees something ugly in the line- or page-breaking that we're asking for, and so disregards the request. Lily aims at optimal spacing and layout and so this behavior
