I am attempting to use LilyPond in Windows XP with MikTeX but am getting the
following error:
C:/Program

I can tell you what the error means: that some program or other has the PDF
file you're trying to create already open, and so LilyPond can't delete it to
replace it with the new copy. With me, it invariably means that I have it open
in Adobe Reader. Don't know whether this applies in your case

Hello,
How do I italicize a section of text inside \addlyrics?
Something like this, I figured, though this is wrong -

\addlyrics { one \italic two and \normal-text three four }
which surprised me because the following does work -

Hi List,
I'm trying to figure out this. I have a part in a score that is for
percussion.
I read the manual and I find there is a lot of things done for percussion
notation, but it is not out-of-the-box for contemporary notation as far as I
could understand.
Imagine the very common situation of ha

I'm not exactly sure if this answers your question, but... here's one example.

Hi,
I have been trying to get a handle on vertical spacing for a while now
with no luck. Everything that I have tried since about 2.11 has not worked at
all. Here is a sample of a test that I have made up:

\include "english.ly"

Hi Xavier,
That was kind of my point. I had looked at that page in the manual and
several others, but there is no example of the syntax that Francisco has
provided. The example that is quoted there is as follows:
Example:

paper-width = 2\cm
top-margin = 3\cm

It's under "Simple tasks"; follow the right link, then see "small

Have you tried

Hum...
I can't do *this*, I guess. But is there another way to change the
number of staff lines from one measure to another?
\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-positions = #'(-8 -4 -2 1 0 1 2 6 8 9
10)
g16^[ g->-(\ff\>
b e']-)
g'32^[-.-( g-. b-. e'-.-)\!
\override Staff.StaffSymbol

Keep your overrides, just add this before each new one:

corresponds to these lines I have to do this in Inkscape or Adobe

Sorry: the instrument that corresponds to each one of this space/lines.
Trying to figure that out here...

Thank you, Phil and Mats, for your responses. It turns out you are correct;
the error is from having the pdf file open within MikTeX's pdf reader during
recompile.
I chose to use MikTeX because, when I tweak LaTeX(a typesetting language
very similar to LilyPond) files, I don't have to close, comp
