Autobeaming overrides

2008-10-19 Thread Trevor Daniels
I'm putting the finishing touches to the Rhythm section of the Notation Reference and would like some help. The usual override for modifying the automatic beaming rhythm specifies the ending beat of the beam: #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 6 8) 4 8) It is also possible to specify the

I don't have an answer to your question but I do have a request regarding this section of the manual. In section 1.2.4 Beams/Setting automatic beam behavior, there is the statement: Note that the default auto-beaming rules are specified in ‘scm/auto-beam.scm’, so you can revert rules that you

Thanks David I think the words you quote are from the 2.10 docs. The wording in the 2.11 docs will be: "If any unexpected beam behavior occurs, check the default automatic beam settings in ‘scm/auto-beam.scm’ for possible interference, because the beam endings defined there will still apply in a

It is common to only write out what is necessary to avoid confusion, which then varies with context. For example, an Ispaychi (Испайчи) decomposes as 3+2+3+2+3, but in my score its is written as 8 + 5 16 16 probably to distinguish not from an Eleno Mome that may be written in 13 16 Or

Combine staves

Hi all, is it possible to combine two staves temporarily in the score? The reason behind it is that two voices have identical notes in this section, and I would like to print them in one single staff (stem up and down). It would be nice if this also reflects to the instrument names... Thanks

Well, it's easy enough to put two voices on the same staff and make their stems go in opposite directions. See the docs where they discuss single-staff polyphony (Learning Manual section 2.3.5 for version 2.11.62 or later), and depending on how you do the single-staff polyphony, you may need \

Yes. Replace "\layout {}" with "\layout { \context{ \RemoveEmptyStaffContext}}" and the empty staff disappears. You can also place the \break in the "csu" command to make it easier to use. Maybe you could even add a \tag so this only takes effect in the full score and the individual instrumental pa
