Hi Claudio, it is exactly as it is written. But dont hope too much of it, it depends on differents factors in the *.mid(i) file if it works good or not. Without option it writes a new file .ly (not on STDOUT) Hope this helps Francois Am Donnerstag, 9. August 2007 08:12 schrieb claudio43: > To

Longer tie

Greetings - I'm running LilyPond 2.11.23 under Windows XP2002 SP2. I'm trying to get a tie to a phantom note at the beginning of a cue. There's a multi-measure rest before the cue, and I don't want the tie to be generated within the multi-measure rest. I think I'm coming close, but I can't figure

How to deal with Time Signatures horizontal alignment?

2007-08-09 Thread Valentin Villenave
Hello everybody, In the following LSR snippet (which I added a few months ago), time signatures are printed above the staffgroup, which is really useful for large orchestral scores: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=272 However, as you can see in this snippet, I had to add the following line:

Hi Valentin, If the top Staff of the StaffGroup is always present (i.e., never gets French-ed out), then you can simply use something like the enclosed snippet. If your top Staff is variable, you'll need to work a little harder! =) Hope this helps, Kieren. _ \versi

Hi Valentin, This is unfortunately not what I need, because the staves are never the same in the score... Yeah, I've never been that lucky either... =) Besides, in your snippet the time signatures are not center-aligned with the barlines, so one have to manually correct the extra-offset O

a modest proposal for input syntax

2007-08-09 Thread James Wilkinson
My biggest problem in typing input is getting notes in the correct octave. Relative mode doesn't help me that much because I have to stop and think which direction is within a fourth of the previous note. The thing that's unambiguous is direction. If I'm on the b in the middle of the staff,
