This conversation is throwing much light on the difficulty that even the computer literate face when trying to learn the Lilypond Scheme interface. In this case the simple addition of a mark is seen to be very complex with procedures and arguments that are counter intuitive (or at least nowhere

Hi David, unfortunately your engraver does _not_ work as expected (and as I had stated): Obviously the 'previous' time signature may also be the one in a 'previous' staff at the same musical moment. So when using the engraver the time signature is only printed in the top-most staff :-( I guess on

Hi David, thanks for that. Sometimes I have the impression I don't see the forest for the trees as soon as Scheme is involved. Even if the actual problem isn't a Scheme one as in the current case ... Moving the engraver to Staff seems to be enough for my score problem. Urs Am Dienstag, den 07.0

[OT?] Roman Numeral Analysis Fonts

Hi, I've released two fonts for "Roman Numeral" Analysis... as the music symbols (sharps, flats, double sharps, doubles flats) are based on Emmentaler, I've thought that would be nice to distribute also among LilyPonders.. There is a PT and an EN version. I use them to prepare music analysis of I
