So, again, it boils down to whatever works. There's no standard to this, and frankly, I've never experienced that as a problem. Jazz music is improvised music, and I don't know a jazz musician who has problems "improvising" here as well. Everyone has different preferences, sure, but problems rea

Re: 2. volta - repetition problem

Hi Branko, This works in Lilypond v2.18: \repeat volta 2 { c c c c } \alternative{ {d d d d} { \bar ":..:" d d d d e e e e \bar ":|." } } It won't reflect the repeats in midi, but the output looks fine. For other versions of lily, you might have to change the arguments of the \bar command

I think, if you don't specify a key at all, the music will always be "in C" (no accidentals at the staff's beginning). Of course the notes have all necessary accidentals. Best, Robert > On 18 Apr 2014, at 04:09, "a.l.f.r.e.d.o" wrote: > > Hi, everybody. > I sometimes have to write many acc

You could put the compound time signature (along with everything else that's "global", like key or tempo) in an extra variable, like this global = { \compoundMeter #'((3 2 4)) % more ... } and put \global at the beginning of each staff. That way, any change in the global variable is transpo

If you search for "Rhythmic Slashes" within the v2.18 snippets documentation, you'll find another way of creating those slashes - that approach has the advantage that the slashes will be silent in MIDI. Best, Robert > On 2 Jul 2014, at 23:06, Francisco Vila wrote: > > 2014-07-02 22:10 GMT+

The chord notation c/a stands for "c major triad with an a in bass". Generally, you can write "chord / bass note" with this construction, "bass note" being the operative word here. So your c/a example works but c:7 / a:7 is actually a polychord construct. There's a way to do this in Lilypond (yo
