A somewhat unusual custom dynamic

Here's a custom dynamic I need (the usual New Complexity complications...): pptopppdashText = \markup { \line { pp \normal-text > ppp― } } pptopppdash = \tweak DynamicText.self-alignment-X #LEFT #(make-dynamic-script pptopppdashText) The greater than sign is my naive attempt to include a hair

Re: \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 4/4

Please use "Reply all" :-). That's strange, the following code, with both reinstating a \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction or \unsetting it works for me: \version "2.20.0" \relative c' { \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 4/4 \time 8/4 c4 d e f g a b c \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 3/2

creating "null" time signature for unmetered cadenzas

Hi List, I have a piece (not mine) for solo violin, with multiple sections of effectively unmetered music (into which the client wants to draw free "graphic" figures, thus requiring empty space). I don't want to show the time signature I'm using to create the empty space (they're usually something

Re: A somewhat unusual custom dynamic

Precisely what I don't want to do. There are hundreds of these and similar, and they sit on long notes. I know it's peculiar, but that's not the answer I am looking for, thanks. What I want may not be possible. I may be pushing uphill here. What I have will do the job, but not quite optimal. What I

Hi Andrew, How about: \version "2.20.0" { \time 6/1 \override Staff.TimeSignature.stencil = #(lambda (grob) (grob-interpret-markup grob #{ \markup\compound-meter #'(0 0) #})) c'4 } Cheers, Pierre Le dim. 4 oct. 2020 à 11:43, N. Andrew Walsh a écrit : > Hi List, > > I have a piece (no

\set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 4/4

Hi Martin, Thank you very much. I managed to make a not-so-minimal working example by stripping my score of items useless for this work And that worked. I hope your code will work in my full score too. In terms of working method I am quite headstrong and when I see all error messages on the c

Re: \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 4/4

Hi Martin, I made a lot of test-files on the basis of my "not-so-minimal working example" with parts of my score added, but none of them worked. Despite all changes, the final results were unchanged: the third secton, starting with "\set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 3/2 \time 3/2

Dimensions vs outline

Hi List, I'm trying to understand the difference between "outline" and "dimensions": \version "2.20.0" \markup {    "1234"     \combine     \filled-box #'(-1 . 4) #'(-1 . 2.5) #1     \override #'(style . outline)     \override #'(thickness . 3)     \whiteout     \with-outline "555"  "5" "6789"

Setting Gregorian chant: Note spacing for two note neumes seem to depend on length of lyric text

Hello LilyPonders, I am setting Gregorian chant in modern notation, using rhw example from the LilyPond online documentation on transcribing Gregorian chant located at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.20/Documentation/notation/working-with-ancient-music_002d_002dscenarios-and-solutions I have two quest

repeat volta and \barNumberCheck

Hi. I'm hoping to get some input from this wonderful group. It seems that repeat volta and \barNumberCheck don't work well together when you use the \alternative function. If you put a \barNumberCheck inside of a repeat volta, the \braNumberCheck fails all the time. I think it's because when yo

Another way \articulate messes up bar line checks

Here's another way that "articulate.ly" messes with bar line checks. If you put a \repeat volta in the middle of a measure, you cannot get reliable bar line checks (|) after that. Here's my MWE: %%%Start \version "2.20.0" rightHand = \relative c' { \repeat volta 2 { \partial 4 f4 c4 d
