How to write drone char/note under the key-signature?

Hello World, I often work with drone-instruments like bagpipes which need to know how to tune their drones. In my handwritten notation I included the Drone indicator below the keysig as simple text "A" or "A/E" (without absolute pitch). It should appear anytime the keysig appears. Key-changes,

Different Raster Size for every page

2010-08-20 Thread Nils Gey
Hello list, I recently worked together with a publisher who said he can't understand that there is no option in any notation-software that allows having different raster sizes (means scaling of objects) for every page. It is not on me to judge if this is wise, from a typographers point of view,

Re: Different Raster Size for every page

Sorry for the confusion. What I really mean is a simple question: I want page 1/2 size 16 and page 2/2 size 18 because its the last page and has fewer notes. Note: Not really "I" but "he" or "someone". For me aestethics would prevent such a thing, but maybe there really is a case where this is

Its even easier. You don't need to create global. The global method has the problem that you need to fill in all these skips. Instead, place this before the first note in any staff: \override Score.BarLine #'transparent = ##t and as last item, in any staff again: \revert Score.BarLine #'transp

What a great example of how Lilypond saves the day. In my eyes thats exactly the reason why Lilypond exists, because it usually knows better how to do things. Janek and Bill are correct: Removing the ties is the correct musical/notation decision. A tie and two syllabes are mutually excluisve. B

Re: ways of using Lilypond?

An important but unasked question is for what do you need notation? If it is "just" transcribing from paper the task is not that critical. You need to get "in" information you already know. But if you compose or arrange and you are not a conservative person who was taught to repeat the sentence "r
