That's exactly the effect that i am looking for. I tried several settings for the make-moment function but still the notes are not spread the way i'd like them to be. Here is what i want: http://old.nabble.com/file/p27662953/what%2Bi%2Bwant.png and here is what I get : http://old.nabble.com/f

by adding some breaks and overriding the SpacingSpanner i was able to fix the begining but now i get a single half note taking a lot of space. http://old.nabble.com/file/p27663115/CropperCapture%255B1%255D.png another break instruction and it is getting better but that does not look natural ht

Has anyone checked, or in/validated if the extra space given by the half-note is a bug or not? PS: I really wish that Lilypond was not that complex to improve or customize. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-adjust-the-space-between-notes--tp27661868p27714324.html Sent

Function to add a "-" before finger number

2010-08-02 Thread Antheo
Hi, I write some Violin pieces and would like to implement a function to typeset a commonly used fingering with the shift indicator (simply a "-" before the finger number). Ideally I'd like to have the following syntax: {f \shift a-1} where the \shift command would add a dash and offset the fing

Thanks for the suggestion Nick. But it is important that it does not look like a glissando because a glissando is an audible transition between 2 notes while I am trying to indicate a silent shift. Per the look also, a glissando looks like : "note1 - note2" and a shift looks like "note1 -note2" wh

Thanks Neil! I used to code in Lisp but i could find by reading and googling in the doc the functions you used. Is there any way you could provide me with some links to the documentation that would help me understand each function so that there are some chances i could do it by myself next time?
