sorry to be a pedant, but... traditionally, 4. [8 8 8] is the exception to the rule that you subdivide the 8ths 2,2,2 in a 3/4 bar Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms and Ravel do this consistently. It is also normal for Debussy apart from in the late violin sonata . the

Hi Damian, I am looking at my copy of the famous Scherzo opus 4 of Brahms. (Kalmus Edition) The beaming is clearly r4 r8 8[ 8 8] all over the place, since the main them is r4 r8 8[ 8 8]. I see this as an expediting right hand of Mr. Brahms, I bet 100 euros that the original manuscript is beamed

Improving guitar fretboards

2011-08-15 Thread PianoguitarGuy
Here is my code for a C minor scale on a 6 string guitar 2+ octaves. Is there a way to make the numbers smaller to fit inside the 'dots'? Is there a way to place dots between the strings to mark the inlays at frets 3 5 7 9 12 etc? Thank you so very much. http://old.nabble.com/file/p32255163/Cmi

\RemoveEmptyStaffContext (?)

Hi List. I have a 40-bar LilyPond piano score notated in 3-staff systems (to accomodate a leaping-over left hand). Occasionally one staff in a system, either the middle or upper, contains rests only. I want to exclude such staves from the output, and so have defined my \score block as follows,
