Hi All, I have been looking for a way to write "scoops", a fairly common effect
in saxophone jazz. This is written as an upwards curve before the note head,
and indicates that the note starts low and quickly slides upwards to the
written pitch.

Hello,
I have figured "it" out - Cakewalk expects Key Signature to be in Track 0 of a
Midi file and Lilypond puts it in whichever track has it in, which is much more
sensible. I realized this while compiling the cry for help below, so I've left
my workings out in the message, but that seems to
The \mark command is centred. Can text be formatted to be left aligned (and

I can’t test what v2.18 does (that’s a very old version!), but 2.25.11
essentially** left-aligns the mark:

Have you searched the list archive?
e.g., https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2024-04/msg00125.html
Hope that helps!

Hello,
Please consider upgrading, version 2.18.2 is over 10 years old.

As a sax playing, big band copyist Lilypond user I think that's a great

Thanks again Xavier. You are very patient - I have just sat down at my
up-to-date computer and the difference between the versions' functionality is
enormous. If I'd realised, I would have bitten the bullet and had fewer

I would expect all current versions of LilyPond would run on Windows
8.1. However, Windows 8 is so far out of support, it would not have
been tested and therefore is not publicised.

I would use "piece", but actually you could even define your own
custom header field and custom layout for titles.

Hello Xavier,
I haven't tested either of these versions - I read something that I interpreted
to mean that something that LilyPond depends on had been upgraded and no longer
runs on Windows 7 or 8.1 with the effect that later versions of Lilypond won't.
This is beyond my technical understanding

I agree with Tim. It's one of those frequently used jazz-isms that
lilypond doesn't handle very elegantly. What's the procedure for
submitting a feature request like this?

I'm so grateful for your help. I was going around in circles, knowing

Yes - that would be the way to go. However, the midi notes will play correctly
anyway, and the Lilypond output is far better than the staff view in my
sequencer. There is even a virtue to it as when I am playing along to the
sequencer and I forget what key I am playing in, all my sharps and flat

As a short term solution you could save that script in a separate file, name
the function \scoop and use it via an \include statement.
