Thanks to all the people who gave suggestions. I thought about volta brackets a
good deal this afternoon while considering all the suggestions, and it dawned
on me that the collision between volta spanners isn't happening where I thought
it was happening. I first thought that the collision was h
I was wondering what kind of contexts of control I have over \markup stuff
outside \score stuff. Specifically, this is what I would like to accomplish.
\version "2.10.25"
\score {
\new Voice \relative c'' {
g4 g g a |
c b a g |
e d e g |
e1
}
}
\markup {
A "system" is a single line of a set of staves that are grouped together. OK,
maybe that isn't the best explanation, but maybe an illustration is better:
Grand Piano ||||||
Guitar ||||||
Flute ||||||
GPno ||-||---
Thanks for all the suggestions. Everything that I read on the mailing list
sends me back to the LilyPond user manual, and every time that happens, I
understand it a little bit more. The document is pretty cryptic in places, but
then again, so are most important documents. I mean, I think Lilypon
I liked the idea of a segue so much, that I decided that I should write a
custom markup command for it:
#(define-markup-command (segue layout props tosong)
(string?)
(interpret-markup layout props
(markup #:small #:column "segue to" #:italic tosong)
)
)
The usage (as I extrap

Only `c1-\segue' works, IIRC. Writing something which works with `_'
and `^' is a bit more difficult; however, I've added an example some
time ago to the docs.

I tried `c1-\segue #"Something Else"'. This didn't work, either. The log

Ah, all right! Now I'm pointed in the right direction. Thanks, again, guys.
Maybe I shouldn't code or read the manual when my mind is telling me that I
should sleep. It sure is clear what I did wrong now that I see my code in the
light of day!
But hey, a bug, right? That's pretty exciting; I've
I don't know how much help my suggestion is, but I've run into a similar
situation. Could it be that the paper is the wrong size? Or, more
importantly in the same line of reasoning, could the line width be too long
for the given page size?
One time I was trying to get my music onto 6 by 9 inch
I came into this question right at the end of typesetting a piece.
Here's the (minimal) code:
\version "2.10.25"
\paper {
ragged-right = ##t
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice="twinkle" \relative c' {
c c g' g
<<
{ a4 a g2 } \\
{ f4 f e2 }
I found the following fix in the LSR, which puts volta brackets above the
chord names:
\version "2.10.0"
\score { <<
\new ChordNames \with {
voltaOnThisStaff = ##t
} \chordmode {
c1 c
}
\new Staff \with {
voltaOnThisStaff = ##f
}
{
\repeat volta 2 { c'1 } \alternative { c' }
}
After tooling around a bit in LilyPond, I think I may have developed
something potentially useful for someone out there. And wouldn't you know, I
got to it because I needed it myself! ^_^
In the songbook we use at church, the verses to the song are stacked on top
of each other if the melody li
Heh, I could have sworn that I read through that section of the manual three
times without realizing that it was the solution I was looking for! I used the
suggested style in my current project, being careful to keep the line-thickness
property override.
By the way, I saw in the Program Referen
Thank you for the insight.
I'm thinking of submitting my oldschooljumps.ly definitions to the LSR. Maybe
someone would find it useful (maybe more useful than my earlier "tweak" ^_^).

I ran into a similar issue when I was writing this musical some time back. My
workaround was basically this:
1) In the directory that I have the music in (let's say it was /path/to) I put
in a "startvim" script and a "render" script.
2) The startvim script just called vim.
3) The render script h
Hi again, all,
I know that the copyright notice will appear in the footer of the first
page, and the LilyPond tagline will appear in the footer of the last page.
But what about if the piece were only one page long? I decided to customize

\version "2.10.25"

Thanks for the upgrade suggestion. I have upgraded to 2.11.43, but the tagline
and copyright notice still do not appear on the bottom of the first page.
Perhaps the header needs to be in a different place now that I'm in 2.11?
Francisco, I noticed in your snippet that the \header block is before
Thanks to all that responded! The short of it was that I did need to upgrade
and reposition the \header block in order to make the titles appear. Perhaps by
the copyright being outside and before the \score block the program knows what
it is "just in time" when I needed it.
The long of it was i
Hi Stefan.
"~" means your home directory. In a Linux shell, typing "cd ~" will take you to
your home directory (which is something like /home/yourusername or something; I
used Ubuntu). You can look there for the .vim folder.
In Windows XP the home directory is usually C:\Documents and

Hello,
I have two chord lines above my music line, and I was wondering how I can mark
the upper chord line as being "Capo 3" for the guitar. In lyrics, you can set
the "stanza" of a line--is there something similar to that?
Something like:
Capo 3: DBm ...

Hi All,
When I render the following music on Lilypond, I get the staff on top, the
chords below the staff, and the lyrics below the chords. This is unexpected
behavior, as I wanted the chords above the staff (as indicated by the order of
the staff elements in \score). What am I missing in this
