Automatically adding extender lines in lyrics

Hello, Often, multiple voices in a score have the same lyrics, or the lyrics have repeating components (such as lines from a poem). Is there a way to automatically add extender lines to melismata in the lyrics? I found this old project: https://github.com/lyp-packages/auto-extenders, but, at

Setting the emoji font

I want to use emoji within markup, and I can see in the output log that Lilypond can't find a character in its default emoji font (Symbola). I can't figure out how to override the default font. %%% \markup {     "🔒" %% This character isn't be found } %%% I saw an old thread recommending to u

Re: Setting the emoji font

Hello Werner, Thank you for the speedy merge request and the pointers. I managed to switch to a different typeface for now with the FC setup files (though I don't know much about it so my approach could be problematic), but the Pango issue seems to not be active anymore. Thanks everyone for

Drum notation and style

Transposing transposing instruments?

I need to set some Clarinet in A parts (including quotes) for B♭ Clarinet players. My current attempt: %%% clI = { \transposition a \key c \major c'4 d' e' } % Copied from the original parts \addQuote "clI" \clI clII = { \transposition a \key c \major \quoteDuring "clI" s4 b4 c' } <<     \ne

Re: Incipit with default noteheads possible?

I have tried an override ( \override Staff.NoteHead.style = #'default ) Note heads are drawn in Voice, so you can just omit the context name. \override NoteHead.style = #'default The more fundamental issue here, though, is that \incipit is hardcoded to create a MensuralStaff context. Does an

Brackets (and more) in text spanners?

Staff highlights

Hello List, is there any way to alternate between staff highlights on single staves and on groups containing those staves? Such that, for example, in one bar each stave in a group has its own highlighting, but in the ne

Splitting divisi passages in staves

Hello everyone, I want to set divisi passages (for strings) in the part as separate staves, but in the score combined. I am aware of the \partCombine functionality, but I'm not sure that it suits this use case.

Overriding default text of \f, \p, etc.

Hello List, I want to override the default text markup used with commands such as \f, \p, \mf, etc. However, trying to define f = #(make-dynamic-script ...) doesn't work because Lilypond interprets f as a note-name. Additionally, how would I be able to change the text while maintaining the

Re: Footnotes for the entire bar

Did you try attaching it to a mark? You definitely set me on the right track there. Marks are typically only drawn on the top-most staff, and I didn't want to interfere with other marks, so my (slightly overkill) solution was to create a new engraver for this purpose. In any case, I learned s

Avoiding errors in custom title markup

Hi all, In order to emulate the appearance of some editions, I want to set the instrument name at the top left of the first page, instead of below the titles. I have code that works; I just override bookTitleMarkup and add: %%% \fill-line {   { \large \underline \fromproperty #'header:instr

Generating dependencies for Lilypond

I've been wondering what the equivalent of cpp -M for Lilypond is, if there is such a thing. It wouldn't be so simple to implement; as well as tracking \includes recursively, tracking the expected names of output files (as there can be multiple per source file) is also required. There's probab
