We are compiling several hundred melody and rhythm examples. Each example
references the same .ily file where global settings and formatting are
handled. Is there code for setting automatic behavior of beams that we can
put in the .ily file (not within a \relative { } block) to resolve the
issue?
For editing and consistency purposes, can anyone tell me what font LilyPond
uses to print title information in its pdfs by default? Based on the
documentation, I'm wondering if it might be New Century Schoolbook in the
roman (serif) font family - is this correct?
