How to get warnings for unused parts of a file?

Hello all. This might be a weird thing to seek, but here is the scenario: I have several files defining (but not using) different parts of the score, which other files use to construct several output types. But the problem is the command `lilypond -l WARNING -o /path/to/file.ly` does not show a wa

Re: How to get warnings for unused parts of a file?

There might be more elegant ways to do it (there probably is), but I have a variable I define in my output files, is-loaded-file and then I can use #(if (defined? 'is-loaded-file) … ) in the definition files to test. This requires a situation where there’s a clear separation between ”definition

I have successfully used https://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=1048 to add slashes to beamed grace notes - thanks! But I have the problem now that I am being required to place the slashed grace notes before a bar line. I can do this normally using \afterGrace on the previous note or rest, but

Re: Slashed grace notes

It’s not very elegant, but I would in your situation move the bar rather than the grace notes, like { f'1 \bar "" \acciaccatura { c'8 d’ } \bar "|" e'1 } Watch out for multiple barlines resulting from grace timing! > 14 sep. 2021 kl. 11:34 skrev Paul Hodges : > > I have successfully used http

Thanks - that worked, but... then I got the bar number (required on every bar) twice - in the old position, and the new! It was easy to fix, though, using a \once \override on the barnumber visibility. The whole-bar rest in another part is now not properly centred, but I hope no-one will noti

Re: midi sound quality help needed

Ken, You are S close :-) The issue is neither Lilipond nor its midi output. MIDI is simply a specification for musical "events" describing pitch, duration, etc. It's up to a program that understands MIDI to make actual sound. That is typically done via a synthesizer (dedicated synth modul

You need to terminate the hairpin by providing (in the same voice) either another hairpin, a final dynamic, or an explicit terminator: "\!". An unterminated hairpin won't be shown. Paul On 14/09/2021 21:29:50, "Carlos Martinez" wrote: >When I am trying to add hairpins to the end > > a2.\<
