alternative chords

Ahoi! For a songbook I'd like to give some chord alternatives ("decide yourself if you'd like to play here c major or a minor") or optional chords (in braces). How can I do that? mychords = \chordmode { % the slash denotes alternatives, not base tones d2:m c | d1:m//

Seperate Midi-Channel for each Voice?

Hi, my problem is that in the midi, you don't hear notes that are already played by another voice. For example you don't hear the last c here: -- \version "2.10.23" \score { \new Staff { << {\relative f' {f4 e d c}} \\ {\relative c' {c1

Re: can't open .ly file

I hope you updated the file syntax first to correspond to your version of LilyPond. The .ly files were written for version 2.2.6 and much has changed since then. After updating the syntax using convert-ly (I think there is a menu command available for that on MacOS), I could compile the file her

Re: ottava

How does the musician know which of the voices the ottava bracket should apply to? In the current implementation, it seems that the ottaviation is handled internally exactly the same way as a clef change, which explains why it is handled at the stave level. However, if there is an established no

Ahoi! In LP 2.6 I could hide empty staves (also in the first system) with \layout { \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext } } Can't remember if I also needed \set Score . skipBars = ##t In LP 2.10 an empty stave in the first system is only hidden with \override Score . VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-

Re: can't open .ly file

Well..., no, I forgot about convert-ly. However, I cannot find it on the menu and when I invoke it the terminal, I receive tcsh: convert-ly: Command not found. This confuses me because I thought that convert-ly is installed along with lilypond. Am I missing something? Thanks Themis On May

hello, i'm trying to define a set of custom chords for use in jazz charts, and i would like to be able to have the numbers (7, 9, 11, 13, etc) raised above the chord name. I use Brandt-Roemer standardized chord notation, so my chords look like Cmi7, Cma9, Cdim, Cmi7b5 etc. I've checked out the

How do I typeset this!?

Hi, consider the following bit of markup: \new Voice << { 1~2 } { e''2. c''4} >> It looks pretty straight forward to me, but Lilypond (2.11.23) doesn't manage to typeset this properly, the e''2. doesn't get a stem and I also get warnings telling me that a note head is being added to an incompa

Citat Matthias Berndt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > consider the following bit of markup: > \new Voice << { 1~2 } { e''2. c''4} >> I am not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve. To me it seems like you are trying to put two voices into one voice. You create one voice (the \new Voice statemen
