Controlling hairpin length - revisited!

2016-10-11 Thread David Sumbler
After a 9 month gap, I have finally come back to Lilypond and will attempt to finish tweaking my string quartet score and parts.  I have installed v2.19.48, and I have run 'convert-ly' on my files. The reasons for the long gap were (a) moving house in February and, more importantly (b) feeling ver

Re: writing custom engravers in scheme - defining context properties?

2016-10-11 Thread Maxwell Phillips
Thanks everyone for all the great info! Both the examples and the explanation of how these properties work are really helpful. It seems like including an argument in the engraver definition is the way to go, unless you need to manually change the behavior in the middle of a score. But maybe in man
