different instrumentDefinition's in score and parts

2011-12-19 Thread Shevek
The way I typically set up a project is to have a score file for the conductor's score and each of the parts, all of which \include a file which contains all the music for the piece. I also have each of these files (the score files and the music file) \include library files with my various snippet

Using lilipond for uncommon musical notation

2011-12-19 Thread Thomas Baruchel
Hi, this is my very first usage of lilypond, and unfortunately I would like to use it for very uncommon and unclassical notation. I am pretty sure I can do it, but I will surely need much time for finding how to do. Most certainly some wizzard can quickly give to me a template. Most probably I wi

Hi Thomas, I can't give you a template for that, although I'm sure it can all be done nicely in LilyPond. Just one word of advice: don't try to do this kind of advanced stuff if you haven't used LilyPond before. Go for the common and "classical" (even if it's rather popular music) first. I don't s

Re: Divisi Staff with instrument name at the left

Using your idea I created a function that allows me to adjust the text offset for each instrument since it proved to be different. Using this is a little bit ugly since you are adding text above a pause that can be in very different positions. but it gives a decent output. divStaff = #(define-musi

Thanks. It is close indeed In these cases of non traditional notation one has to spend a lot of time adjusting the sizes and positions of things, but that's expected I suppose. The problem with my example is that if the size of the measure changes for any reason I have to redo all the parameters.
