tremolo as post event

2014-11-24 Thread Mike Solomon
Hey all, Is there any way to create a tremolo as a post event? I’m doing an arrangement for string quartet of a vocal piece and, at certain moments, I’d like to use tremolos. So, for example, { c2 } would become { c2:32 } Rather than doing: { \tag #’vocal { c2 } \tag #’strings { c2:32 }

Problems / questions around a choir partition

2014-11-24 Thread Markus Baertschi
I've re-set a choir partition for our men's choir in lilypond. Some RTFM did help to solve most problems, but there are some things I don't know how to resolve. My problems are in no particular sequence: - How can I set the headers ('piece') so they are close to the score and not close to the top

hairpin aesthetics

Hey all, When typesetting: \version "2.19.15" \relative c'' { \time 2/4 cis8\> ( bisis ) fis'\< ( e ) | d2\! | } the second hairpin seems really short compared to the first. My guessing is that whatever gap is put between the hairpins is tacked onto the start of the second instead of

Build issue in Fedora due to font changes

2014-11-24 Thread Jon Ciesla
With the latest release of the UFW fonts, they've dropped the Cyrillic glyphs due to poor quality. I see that both 2.18.x and 2.19.x still need ufw's ru fonts, and so lilypond fails to build in rawhide. Is there another font set, preferably one in Fedora already, that you'd recommend or are planni

For your first question, I would try top-markup-spacing and markup-system-spacing. Check out this beautiful guide by Abraham Lee (?): verticalspacing.pdf They are flexible variables, so try #'padding. -- View this mess
