Dear Lilypond-users, I want to make a substitution with the \movement-command ( look at: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=444). But unfortunately this doesn't work: langsamer = { \movement "subito meno mosso" "4" #69 } How can I change it? I had another strange experience with the movement-comm

Hi Luis The value given to 'right-padding controls the distance between the pair of accidentals and the following note. To adjust the placement of the individual accidentals you can use various alignment markup commands (see Appendix B6.2 in the 2.11 Notation Reference). Here I've used \halign

May I chime in a bit here? This prodding of the scheme interpreter is one of the few things I do not like in the lilypond syntax. I do love LilyPond and as a programmer at heart, I adore its syntax. However, as a programmer, it is my duty to let the computer do the work instead of the user.

It's not a matter of whether the actual analysis of a musical passage is right or wrong, the issue is whether or not the software can help us make the analytical symbols look better, clearer and more concise -- precisely what Lilypond is all about, if I am not mistaken -- without breaking too much
