I want to do something very simple: change the time signature without
anything appearing. I looked over the list archive, but I can't find the
solution. In particular, I don't want a transparent time signature; I want
no space taken.
I found various proposed solutions, and I tried inserting lines

Brilliant, thanks. I hadn't yet come across that notation.

Under "Staff Notation". No idea on section numbers, I'm using the HTML
version. The easy way to find such things is to use a search function.

My bad. I knew that the American *singular* was "staff" (British sing.
"stave") and made an incorrect extrapolation.

I must be missing something simple. I am trying to get a final double
barline on a piano score, but whatever I do, I get a double barline on
each stave, and a single barline between them. I've read the manual, I've
downloaded example code (which seems to do exactly what I've done, namely
put \bar "
Another basic question, but again, I can't find the answer in the docs:
does LilyPond (2.1.25 in my case) have standard text styles for expression
markings, tempo markings &c.? All I've found in the docs and from pieces
on mutopia.org is ad-hoc font settings (using \bold, \italic, \large &c.)
which
I've used the hack in the Lilypond docs for getting dynamics centred
between the staves of a PianoStaff, but I would like to make it more
convenient to do other markings. At the moment, I can write something like
s1\f
to get a piano dynamic which is nicely centred, but if I write another
markin
The problem was to improve the example hack for piano dynamics being
centred between the staves so that it works for other expression marks.

How can I draw editorial brackets [ ] around some notes?
[I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for putting up with a
tsunami of email over the past couple of days; thanks to all your help I'm
now starting to trundle along quite happily typesetting, and the
remaining few problems I'm
I read the archives, and since there's no proper support for musica ficta,
I'm quite happy with the 2002 solution:
#(define fictaflat '(music "accidentals--1"))
#(define fictanat '(music "accidentals-0"))
#(define fictasharp '(music "accidentals-1"))
#(define smallsharp '((font-relative-size . -2)
OK, I'm nearly there, my remaining problems are Scheme problems I think (I
know a bit of elisp, but no Scheme up to now).
I have the following:
#(def-markup-command (fictasharp) () "Foo" (#:musicglyph "accidentals-2"))
which doesn't parse. I think the problem is my empty argument type list.
??
By googling I eventually found some more code examples that enabled me to
complete the code for LilyPond 2.1.26:
% Musica ficta
#(def-markup-command (fictasharp paper props) ()
(interpret-markup paper props (markup #:musicglyph "accidentals-2")))
#(def-markup-command (fictaflat paper props) ()
I had a look through the manual, but I can't seem to find a \longa with a
longer tail, such as I have often seen. Also, one whose tail follows the
usual rules (i.e. on the bottom line, I'd expect the tail to go up; or is
that wrong? I'm copying from a handwritten score, so it might be at
fault...).
How can I make a change such as
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'mensural
apply to every staff in a piece without having to repeat it everywhere?
I'd like something I can just put once at the top of a file.

I'm not very strong on this sort of thing, so correct me if I'm wrong (I
checked at
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Neil_Hawes/theory10.htm), but in
old scores, 4/2 time is often marked with a c-with-vertical-bar (same as
2/2). I just tried setting mensural time signatures in 2.1.26, but t
I am inserting gaps in lyrics, and I need to use
\skip 1 \skip 1 ...
repeatedly. If I enter \skip 1*5, it behaves the same as \skip 1*2.
I'm using 2.1.27.

If you try the following example on 2.1.27:
\score {
\notes {
s1^\markup "Verylongtext"\f
a'1^\markup "Verylongtext"\f
}
}
you find that in the first bar, the f and "Verylongtext" are centred on
each other, whereas in the second bar, they are left aligned.
This causes me problems whe

It's entirely predictable: if a note a up to a fourth from the previous
one, you don't need a ' or a ,; otherwise, you need one (or more) comma or
tick. What's the problem?

If a page break occurs half-way through a bar, because I have something
like:
\time 4/2
a1 \bar ":" a1 |
then no bar number is printed on the page that starts half-way through a
bar. Is this a bug? It seems that either page-breaks shouldn't occur in
the middle of bars like this, or that a bar num

I think I was the original poster, and I certainly do agree.
