That's great! Thanks a lot! Just a question, do you think it's possible to have left/right as a param instead of defining a scheme function for each one ? For example, you might want to have more option like use [ instead of ( and then you need to create two others functions and new LBC/RBC and i

Yes, but is there a way to tweak this behavior to suit different situations? something like \override Voice.shortStemLength = #3.5 (if it beamed notes would respect it) would make it simpler to avoid accidentals colliding with beams in upper and lower voices in polyphony. Currently, we're left

substitution in layout-block

Dear lilypond-users, I tried to make a substitution in the layout-block, but without success. I don't know what could be wrong. Here is the short snippet: \version "2.12.0" keineTaktart = \layout { \context { \Staff \remove "Time_signature_engraver"} } keineTaktzahl = \layout{ \context { \Score \

Hello all, What are people's thoughts on how to place movement numbers in a piece? Each movement will of course have its own score{} context. The obvious choice is to use piece="I" in the associated header{}, but this prints in the wrong place -- on the left-hand-side -- and is clearly intended

Actually your snippet works for me. The only thing that I noticed is that you specified two layout-blocks and only the second of the two is used. You need to put both your variables into the same layoutblock to make them both apply for the same score, but beware, if you put both variables on the

Why not simply include the following setting at the top of your score \set Timing.barCheckSynchronize = ##t and insert a bar check | at the end of the measure you want to end prematurely? OK, you will still get a warning printout, but otherwise it solves all the problems. /Mats Dan Eble wro
