Overlapping ties in different voices

Hi! I'm trying to set selection from Saint-Saën's Oratorio de Noël for my choir. In the Gloria in altissimis (p9 in the IMSLP PDFs), I found an odd combination of ties: \relative c''' { << { s1 | b1 ~ | b2 cis } \\ { a1 ~| a2 s2

Still confused about horizontal shifts in NoteColumns

Running 2.18.2 under Linux, I'm looking to duplicate this: [image: Inline images 2] I currently have this: [image: Inline images 2] I would like to shift the first quarter note a bit to the right, about half as much as the third, but force-hshift and the various \shiftOxxx commands have no effect

context-sensitive or redefinable variables

In setting an a cappella SATB piece and the (generated) rehearsal piano part, I would like to create two PDF files with different linebreaks. Each part has many occurrences of a variable "midBarBreak" defined as { \bar "" \break } so as to break up the vocal lines at the end of the lines of the se

How does lilypond choose fonts?

Hi! I'm using lilypond 2.14.1 under CygWin 2.7, and have a large number of fonts I've accumulated over the decades. I have set up my lilypond files to use fonts I like in \paper: #(define fonts (make-pango-font-tree "Centaur MT" "ITC Eras"

Why can't I force an hshift?

Windows registry, Python, and LilyPond

All, I just installed LilyPond on a new laptop (same OS -- Windows 7 -- as before), but this time the registry entry HKCR\Python\shell\open\command\(Default), which is set to C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\python.exe , interferes with my path to my Python installation in C:\Python27. There

Re: Windows registry, Python, and LilyPond

Thanks for the information, everyone I think what I'm looking for is a Windows installation whereby LilyPond's python scripts are run by its own python.exe, while all other python scripts are run by the system's python. This is likely not possible under Windows. *sigh* However, since the py

Eluze, When I try midi2ly under Windows 7, I get the error "No module named midi". While I see a midi.dll in LilyPond\usr\bin and LilyPond\lib\lilypond\current\python, I don't have anything at all under \Python27. But, as I said, it works fine on my Linux box ... so I assume I'm missing some Wind

Odd \time and \appoggiatura interaction

Scores for the visually impaired

Now that I'm *cough, cough* an expert LilyPond user, I want to explore something really difficult. My wife, a voice teacher, suffers from macular degeneration. Before her vision degrades so much that she can no longer read printed scores, I'd like to cobble together a system that - scans piano

Well, rats. I just tried it (fedora 35, frescobaldi 3.1.3) and had the same result. I had to kill -9 frescobaldi. While my user account uses anaconda python at 3.8.8, the system python is 3.10.0. Fwiw, the other big problem with this release is a malloc bug in glibc 2.4.3 which renders CUDA 11.5
