If you mean this is the answer: "When skipBars is set, the result will look OK, but the bar numbering will be off." I already found that out from reading the manual, but I am trying to figure out a work-around. Also, what about the notion of the part sheets showing mm rests while the conduct

Ok. I had already read that section last night. I just read it again to make sure. I am either blind or the answer to my question is not there. It says in the manual: "A crescendo mark is started with \< and terminated with \! or an absolute dynamic. A decrescendo is started with \> and

Yea, I've tried a couple different midi files. The same midi files open up fine in sonar. I've read to resave them from Sonar too and those also have the same problem. They don't crash really. Midi2ly produces a message saying that it created my ly file. But the ly file has no note data in

RE: multimeasure rests with proper measure numbering

2007-07-09 Thread Steve Schow
Thanks for the simple example and see the measure numbering is retained correctly this way. But I still do not understand how I can have the conductor score have EMPTY measures when the whole measure is a rest (but not hide the rests in measures that have notes). > -Original Message

Ok, here's a question. I know this question comes up occasionally. I have been one of the people bringing it up. Why do lilypond PDF's look crappy on-screen, even though they print fine? particularly on windows. Here is a simple example. This screen shot is from around page 15 of the lilypo
