Combine rests from two voices

Hi! I am writing a single staff with two voices, using \voiceOne and \voiceTwo. Is it possible to have rests common to both voices to be combined into "single voice rests"? Of course I could do like << \newVoice = "one" { \voiceOne a4 b c d } \newVoice = "two" { \voiceTwo a4 b c d } >> r2

"Non-standard" key signatures

Hi! Is it possible to specify a "non-standard" key signature, e. g. a combination of sharps and flats? It is needed to notate certain kinds of non-western modes (an example can bee seen at http://dev.urbanninja.se/~erik/Vranjanka.pdf). Regards Erik

gpdf problem

I upgraded to Lilypond 2.2.6 today (from 2.1), and discovered that the pdf output renders incorrectly with gpdf (but still looks fine in xpdf). Many noteheads, and other symbols as well, show up "halved", as if there were white objects in front of them. The .ps file looks good in gv and ggv. ggv

Fiddle tuning

Hi, I am typesetting an old book of Swedish fiddle tunes. Some of the tunes have a non-standard fiddle tuning, shown as four noteheads without stems just in front of the actual music (much like the ambitius notation). The noteheads are also marked with the note names to the right. I tried the fol

Thanks for your reply! | Why not fool LilyPond and let the \repeat volta 2{ start before the | tuning indication? That would fool any MIDI converter too! However that is not a big problem. The big problem is that the lilypond file is generated automatically by a script from an ABC source, so I wa

Chord sheet with time signatures

Hi! I often use lilypond (2.4.2) to produce chord sheets (i. e. no actual staff, only chords, barlines and repeats), as described in the manual (see below). However, I have not managed to add time signatures to the notation. Just adding \consists "Timing_engraver" to the \with block doesn't work

--bigpdf

Hi, A couple of years ago, Knut Petersen submitted a patch for a --bigpdf option: https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/4251/ Was this option ever included in the main lilypond code base? The reason I’m asking is that I just downloaded lilypond 2.22.1 (on macOS, via homebrew) and it

Hi Garreth, Since Lilypond is text based, you can obviously write Lilypond source files with Python and run them with Lilypond. In fact, several such projects already exists, for a (very) simple example, see https://www.python-course.eu/python_scores.php Erik > 23 apr. 2018 kl. 19:10 skrev
