Re: "Squished" tie between 2 notes

2024-02-12 Thread Curt McDowell
I often resolve squished ties like that by flipping the tie; e.g., using *fis^~* to force the tie on top, or *fis_~* to force it to the bottom. (In this case, it looks good on top, but this doesn't help if you really want it on the bottom.) Regards, Curt On 2/11/24 09:30, George wrote: bar 78 l

Hi! There is no predefined double dashed bar line in lilypond, (You can see a list of those at https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/list-of-bar-lines ) so you’ll have to define it using \defineBarLine , as described here https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/b

Frescobaldi: Keyboard shortcut for toggling between editor and music view?

2024-02-12 Thread Hajo Baess
Hello all, Maybe I am missing it alltogether or it does not exist or it is to hard to find for me: I am looking for a keyboard shortcut in Frescobaldi enabling me to toggle between editor and music view, so I do not have to click with the mouse. I just can't find it. I have tried all kinds of pos

Assembling individual scores into a book

2024-02-12 Thread Eric Benson
I have a growing collection of one- or two-page scores that I want to assemble into books, each with a table of contents. I've been using LaTeX's pdfpages package for this purpose, just pulling together all the LilyPond pdf output with page numbers added and a ToC on the front. This method works pr

I had the same challenge recently. See the attached. The individual parts are in a "/parts" directory. The "book.ly" file assembles the parts into a book with TOC. I've also attached a simple script (assemble_book) to generate the book.ly file (unix bash). I am a newb with lilypond, so I'm sure t

I should add that one issue with this method is with optimizing page turns. E.g., if you were relying on a piece to start on an odd page but the prior piece in the book ended on an odd page, you'd end up having to insert a blank page in order to preserve your intended page turn. For large books thi

I should say that aside from wasting space on repeated font data, my technique of using pdfpages in LaTeX is very effective and not difficult, including a mechanism for starting two-page scores on even pages. Here's my template: On Mon, Feb 12, 2024 at 2:27 PM Charlie Ma wrote: > I should add th

One limitation to keep in mind is that you must not put lilypond page numbers in the scores, because pdfpages needs to write its own page numbers that correspond to the ToC. On Mon, Feb 12, 2024 at 2:42 PM Eric Benson wrote: > I should say that aside from wasting space on repeated font data, my
