Difficult layout questions

2008-02-11 Thread Dominic Neumann
Hi LilyPond freaks, at the moment I´m creating a songbook with 200 modern church songs in it. As you can imagine I use LilyPond for this task (together with LaTeX, but that´s not that interesting now). Now I´ve got some layout issues I don´t know how to fix them. I post this all in one thread, yo

Hi, when I write non-typical tuplets (i.e. 2 notes with 8th-duration and 2 notes with 16th-duration) brackets compare automatically. In that case I don't need any bracket and number. Now I've fixed TupletsNumber as transparent, but what can I make against Brackets? thanks Stezano __

Showing instrument name and correct clef with cue notes
