Accent and unaccent signs

2008-05-18 Thread Kim Bastin
How do I get these articulations? The accent sign I mean is shaped like an acute accent (aigu) in French, and the unaccent sign is like a saucer (or a breve in old-fashioned printing of Latin). There's nothing like them defined in font-table.ly. Is there a way to define scripts to use other fo

Lyrics, barlines and whiteout

2008-05-07 Thread Kim Bastin
I'm a pretty new Lilypond user, about a week old in fact, so please be gentle. As a learning exercise I have been entering a keyboard arrangement of one of Reger's Geistliche Gesänge, including the lyrics, which I had previously done in Sibelius (opening bars appended as Morgengesang.ly). I

Problem with followVoice line

2008-05-10 Thread Kim Bastin
In the attached extract, I want a 'followVoice' line connecting beats 3 and 4, and no others. Depending on where I place "\set followVoice = ##t" I get either additional unwanted lines between other beats (bars 2 and 3), or no line at all (bar 4). What's going on? Is this intended behaviour? ï»

Moving a hairpin horizontally

2008-05-12 Thread Kim Bastin
What's the override for moving the ends of a hairpin horizontally? I need to start one a little to the right of its default position because it collides with a cross-staffed note. But I can only find information about moving hairpins vertically. I tried this: \once \override Hairpin #'X-offset

Dynamics and kerning

2008-05-13 Thread Kim Bastin
I find the kerning of dynamics unsatisfactory, indeed I'm not sure that it's happening at all. ff is spaced too wide, with visible daylight between the f's; mp is squashed too close together. These pairs are the worst; pp, sf, fz look okay. Is this a characteristic of the font? If so, is there
