LSR search results are "shifted" (was: LSR: inconsistent search results)

Hi Sebastiano! Sorry to disturb you, especially in this "holiday" season. I complained a month ago on lilypond-user about the LSR search engine that gives really *inconsistent* results. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2010-07/msg00139.html I did not get an answer but since I have

Hi I have seached for a solution without any luck. I hope some one could help me. I cannot get the bar lines aligned as I want. What is wrong in the code? I just need guitar chords like this | G | C, D7 | G | C, D7 | | G | C, D7 | G | C, D7 | | G | Em | G | Em| |

Thanks for the suggestion Nick. But it is important that it does not look like a glissando because a glissando is an audible transition between 2 notes while I am trying to indicate a silent shift. Per the look also, a glissando looks like : "note1 - note2" and a shift looks like "note1 -note2" wh

Is that them em or en dash? On a macintosh, I would just type them directly, either – or —, if you absolutely have to use the unicode, I would do it: \version "2.12.3" shiftTwo=\markup \finger "–2" shiftThree = \markup \concat {\char ##x2012 3} { a4-\shiftTwo g-\shiftThree} On Aug 3, 2010,

you can left, center, or right align the markup. I'm pretty sure that the default is to center-align it. On Aug 3, 2010, at 6:02 PM, Antheo wrote: > > great i added the \finger command to use the same font as the regular > fingering. > shiftII = \markup \finger \concat {\char ##x2012 2} > > N

You probably want to center align it over the number, right? That's a bit more complex. On Aug 3, 2010, at 8:07 PM, James Bailey wrote: > you can left, center, or right align the markup. I'm pretty sure that the > default is to center-align it. > On Aug 3, 2010, at 6:02 PM, Antheo wrote: > >>
