a specific note head shape for string players

2017-08-31 Thread B~M
String players sometimes have to put one finger over two strings, but sound just one. The finger also stopping an unplayed string is often played later, so this action is one of finger preparation. I show this in the attached snippet where I have used a red note head to denote the unplayed, but sto

Hi, How do I set the key signature to appear on multiple staves without manually setting \key for every staff? This question was asked around ten years ago (see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-09/msg00333.html) and still doesn't seem to have been resolved. Thank you for

A note which is three measures long

c\breve is two measures long, c\longa four measures. At the end of the Kyrie from Palestrina's Missa Brevis there is a note three measure long. Is there any way to do that simply? Regards Bernhard -- spitzhalde9 D-79853 lenzkirch bernhard.kle...@gmx.net www.b-kleine.com, www.urseetal.net - thun

If you want a note that is three *whole notes* long, you could use a dotted \breve. If you want a note that is three *measures*, just use ties. Having notes that cross barlines is just confusing for everyone. On 08/31/17 14:40, Bernhard Kleine wrote: c\breve is two measures long, c\longa four

If a dotted \breve is not what you wish to see then using either of c\breve*3/2 or c\longa*3/4 will give you a \breve or \longa that is three 4/4 measures long. I use these regularly when typesetting Schütz, Schein, Franck etc. HTH, Michael > caag...@gmail.com hat am 31. August 2017 um 14:45 g

I object against calling the best practice provided by Jens as "\global hack". Let's use a different perspective: Programs like Finale or Sibelius require you to have the same key for each staff. While that may be convenient for a lot of music I actually think that's a shortcoming of these progr
