\set vs \override

2009-11-21 Thread David Kastrup
There is a chapter "set vs override" in the manual. I am afraid that I fail to grasp the difference from the chapter. It says: "There are actually two different kinds of properties." But then it says Context properties can change value over time while interpreting a piece of music; `me

2009-11-21 Thread Tom Dickson
I have a setting of O Come, O Come Emmanuel that I want to make the refrain in four-part harmony, but leave the rest of the hymn in melody. Right now I'm "cheating" by putting the Refrain as the last part of the first verse. A copy of the file is here: http://schnecke.bombcar.com/random/ocomeoc

Hello, I'm having a problem with my slur, and I've looked everywhere and don't know how to fix it. There is a line break and my slur is starting at the beginning of the staff, but my tie begins after the key signature. It looks rather odd, and I would like to make it so that the slur begins where
