Hi Mats (et al), It would certainly not have been obvious to me that this has anything to do with repeats, if I didn't know that that's the syntax used in LilyPond. Certainly, it's related to repeating something, but I would be surprised if you could find it in any music notation handbook i

Re: LilyPond 2.12 and emacs on Ubuntu

It shouldn't be this hard to set up lilypond-mode for emacs under Ubuntu 8.04. Ralph, check in your home folder and see if there is a folder called .emacs.d and if there is a file in that folder named init.el It should be there. If not, create that file and folder. We're going to get this wo

Sure, Ralph. I'll do some digging and try to figure out what makes lilypond-mode work in my installation. In the meantime, check out: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Emacs-Beginner-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.1 if you haven't already, just for some background information on modes in Emacs. Email me off-list if

Hi all, In LSR #444 (), it claims that the snippet is obsoleted by version 2.11.50. However, unless I'm mistaken, we don't have direct access to the parts of MetronomeMark (e.g., the size of the note is too big to my eye, \tempo doesn't support a

Peter, Are you referring to the apostrophe (or single-quote, if you will) just before the 3rd opening parenthesis in the first line? Ralph, it's worth a try. My XP init.el file doesn't contain this and it loads lilypond-mode with no error messages. I'm not sure if there's a difference betwee

Re: MetronomeMark tweaks

Hi Neil, It's obsolete since you can use \tempo \markup for all these tweaks. Looking through the MetronomeMark docs, I've been unable to figure out how to: 1. Change the size of the note (in parentheses) without changing the rest of the font size; or, 2. Indicate a range of tempos

Hi Joseph, The following code shows how \tempo \markup can be used: Fabulous -- thanks! The first \tempo mark sets the speed as far as MIDI is concerned but the markup from the second is displayed. You can therefore customise its appearance as much as you like. I don't think I ever woul
