Adding notes symbols in lyrics positions

2014-03-31 Thread Harald Christiansen
Hello all, Here's my problem: In a PianoStaff, I want to add some notes symbols (e.g. a quarter note, a rest) in lyrics position, i.e. between the two staves and in sync with the notes. I am interested in just placing the glyphs, no pitch needed, like on an invisible percussion stave with just o

Understanding Lilypond language

Hello, Is there a manual for the lilypond language itself ? I don't get it ... is it a programming language ... a macro expander ... all of the above ? I cannot build a mental model of how it works. For example, let's take variables. I take the notation reference, I look at the index and I see

Custom / Fine tuning vertical space between piano staff lines

2016-06-16 Thread Harald Christiansen
Hi, I need to add some supplemental white space between piano staff lines (to avoid a crowded look and near clashes). I looked long and hard at TFM _and_ whatever snippets I could find, but unfortunately I am still none the wiser :| The only thing that I found (and made sense to me) was the glob

Hi Joram, Unfortunately "\once \override NoteHead.minimum-Y-extent = #'(-20 . 0)" gives me a horrible result: - the note stem is extended - it increases the space between the piano staves (i.e. between the G clef staff and the F staff clef) which I don't want. And yes I want to add padding betwee
