Hi everyone, One problem with this suggestion that Lilypond does not support the simple use of digits in variable names. As far as I understand, it is because a digit following directly alphabetic characters is interpreted as a duration. I took me a long time to discover that there is a way o

Hi Silvain, I'd say singleVoice would even be clearer. But I think maybe it would also be a good idea if we had a synax like \voice number. Currently Lilypond only supports four voices, and any more requires knowledge about the scheme interface, but \voice1 \voice2, ... could directly support

Hello Silvain, Note that I specified \voice number, so number is not part of the name, but an argument. But Lilypond does (similar to TeX) interpret \command1 as \command 1 (which is the reason why numbers cannot be part of variable names, also similar to how \commandA\commandB do not need to b

There is also the to me annoying concept that \voiceTwo is usually the third voice. Perhaps we could make \voice n format the n-th voice in the normal order? That would mean that in two-part music, \voice 2 is down-stemmed, and in three-part music, it is up-stemmed. In fact, from classica

Hello Jean, this is something we also find in other notation programs, because the voice does not only give the stem direction, but also the offset direction for collisions. The idea is basically: While you go from top/bottom to the center voices they offset into different directions. So from

Hi all, > You have to set the lengths of the breve notes manually, though. It sure seems like this could be done automagically (maybe using a Scheme engraver?). You could say something like \specialnote \breve 8*931 and it would (1) engrave a note that looks like the first parameter given

Just want to follow up on what Lukas-Fabian says here: If you do in-staff polyphony via << { \upperMusic } \\ { \lowerMusic } >> then the \\ makes LilyPond silently add a \voiceOne to \upperMusic and a \voiceTwo to \lowerMusic, making sure that \upperMusic has upward stems, articulation
