Bookpart without page break?

2010-04-15 Thread nick . payne
I'm setting a number of short pieces, several of which will fit two to a page. If I'm using a table of contents with bookpart and tocItem to get the name of each piece into the TOC, is it possible to avoid having a page break between each score so that I can have more than one piece per page?

2010-04-15 Thread Phil Holmes
I did a bit of research on why this is happening (the text fixes to the first note, and the 2nd note is placed after the end of the text) and found it to be a consequence of including the file gregorian.ly. By trial and error commenting on that file, I found it's caused by the line \overrid

(sorry, forgot to send to the list) Yes, the eps file must be in the same directory as the ly file. Double-check that you have the right filename, and if you're on certain operating systems, double-check that you have the correct capitalization. (in particular, watch out for eps vs. EPS) Cheers,

Quoting Graham Percival : (sorry, forgot to send to the list) Yes, the eps file must be in the same directory as the ly file. Or, perhaps, it's rather that it has to be in the working directory where you run the lilypond command. Don't know how it works if you for example double-click on a fi

I did try that command in looking at what was going on, and it made no difference - I think \textLengthOff is Off by default, in any case. As I said in my reply, the way the text/notes are laid out appears to be a by-product of the command \override SpacingSpanner #'packed-spacing = ##t in the

Thanks, But You need to add as many hidden voices as the number of notes in the chord less 1. A piece full of chord glissandi will be unpractical. On 15 April 2010 14:08, Carl Sorensen wrote: > > > > On 4/15/10 7:48 AM, "Bernardo Barros" wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I have a question. I'm try
