Problem with repeat alternative endings that contain lyrics and leading rests

Dear List, The LilyPond notation reference, section 2.1.2, ( http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to-lyrics) contains the following example of how to use lyrics in concert with repeat alternative endings. It compiles fine in version 2.18.2, showing both the

Dear List, I apologize if this is a total newbie question, but I am struggling with scaling scores. Sometimes I want really big music to put on presentation slides. Other times I want to fit a lot of music on one page. Doing something like: \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 40) } within a s

Trouble with alternative melody and lyrics

2015-04-27 Thread Peter Heisen
Dear List, I have a song with two verses. The lyrics to the second stanza occasionally have an extra syllable, such that there is a rest on that beat in the first verse but a note in the second verse. I'm trying to address this using the code found in notation manual (v. 2.18.2) in Section 2.1.3

Marco, I may not understand what you are asking. Section 3.3.1 of the notation manual, "Including LilyPond Files", describes the use of \include. The \include command substitutes the contents of "filename.ly" wherever "\include "filename.ly"" is placed. (Sometimes the component files are named
