Gallery of Interesting Music Notation

I found this fascinating: http://homes.soic.indiana.edu/donbyrd/InterestingMusicNotation.html I wonder if anyone here (or elsewhere) has tried to engrave some of these, even as musical fragments? I'm sure it would be an eye-opening process. :) Steve _

Vertical alignment of text added to notes.

Hi, I'm engraving some simple music for beginning violin students who are learning to read music. I would prefer if the text added to notes were vertically aligned on each line, but by default they are quite jagged: [image: Inline image 1] (http://lilybin.com/to3r9r/3) I had thought about using

Constant sized rehersal marks?

2015-01-08 Thread Steve Lacy
Using "\set Score.markFormatter = #format-mark-circle-numbers" how would one go about making sure that all the rehersal marks are the same size (i.e. the radius of the circle is constant and the font inside scales to fit, and digits are centered within the circle?). Here's an example score that I

How to pack notes very tightly?

I'm transcribing a Mendelssohn score, and am trying to get Lilypond to pack notes about as densely as they are in the original score. For example, trying to fit a snippet like this onto a single line: \version "2.16.2" \language "english" \relative c''' { \key e \minor \mark \default \time

+1 to Keith's idea. In fact, I remember first learning about \relative and being *amazed* that it didn't work as described. I'm mostly transcribing/re-engraving for solo violin, and most pieces stay within a small 2-octave range. The \relative c'''{ ...} syntax was exactly what I wanted. Steve

I've experimented with this a bit on WikiPedia directly, but it seemed to me to be a limited set of LilyPond functionality, but I didn't dig much farther than that. You can see this extension "in action" here, on the page for Beethoven's 5th: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._5_(Beethoven
