How do you insert measures into scores with many parts?

2024-09-27 Thread David Bellows
This is a question that came up on Reddit the other day and I didn't have an answer (it never happens to me). Say you are working on a score with multiple parts (like an orchestra) and you need to insert some measures into all the parts somewhere in the middle of the piece. Is there a way to organ

Vertical positions of slurs and accents

How do I persuade Lilypond to position all accent marks inside slurs?  At the moment, in a passage containing numerous accents and slurs, I am finding that some accents are outside the slur and some inside, which looks a mess! David

Hi Cameron, I'm sure others on this list may have differing opinions, but personally my strong advice is to simply enter the music for each part verbatim in a single variable, with one measure per line. Using variables and quotes for themes played repeatedly or by many instruments seems like it wi

Dear David, I don't know of any command or script that adds an extra bar before measure 45 or something like that, so it's something that you will have to do manually. I think the things that will help the most for this are dutifully placing bar checks in your file (to help when you're scann
