Hello,
I am new to Lilypond, cutting my teeth on a couple of pretty simple layouts -
this exercise is to reproduce a page of a Petrucci score.

I'm thrilled with this

I had a similar question a while back [1], which Harm kindly solved.
Try something like this (it should work in older versions of lilypond):
%~~~
\version "2.23.10"
\header {
title = "Odhekaton"
composer = "Obrecht"
piece = "Alto"
}
\paper { ragged-right = ##t }

Sorry, I missed this part of your question. It just means "turn (the
page)" - much like the modern "V.S."
I have this code which uses \after to position dynamic marks in the right place
where I want them:
\version "2.25.14"
\language "english"
example = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key c \major
\time 5/4
{
\after 2\< \after 8*7 \>
\repeat unfold 10 {e16 f} \!|
}
}
\score {

Make that
s2 d8(\< c \after 8 \> b2) <>\!
\after doesn't work the way you indented your code suggests you
think it does. The syntax is
\after DURATION ARTICULATION MUSIC
and gives something roughly equivalent to
<
(copying the list, so that others can benefit/contribute)
Giles,
I played around with this some more, and got slightly better results by
setting
\override Score.SpacingSpanner.shortest-duration-space = #1
Another tip, which might be obvious: for proof-reading, I often play

Hello,
I've set various instruments for my MIDI output (from an early 18th century
piece), but I have a new soundfont with better instruments. Is there any
way I can get lilypond to pick up, as it were, the instrument from this
soundfont? As it is, I just set the Staff.midiInstrument to one of t
