Size of title with multiple scores on a page

Hi, I've managed to make some real progress getting my head around Lillypond, and I'd have to say that the output quality is awesome compared to what I'd previously been using. I've spent a few hours looking, tried a lot of things and still cannot get what I'm after here. In the pared-down (b

Anacrusis in multiple tunes on page

It seems clear to me that I am mis-formatting something. What I am trying to do is is to put multiple tunes on a single page as for a "set" of tunes for a dance. The problem that I'm having is that many of these tunes start both the "A" part and the "B" part with an anacrusis and end the part with

A lyric problem - with one possible solution

These are slightly "rich" minimum examples since I've used different colours for the verses -- in part to make the problem with the initial example more clearly visible and to show the desired result in the second example. My solution can best be described as "brute force and ignorance" and I'd b

Re-sizing score on the fly

This is an unusual problem. I've got a bunch of scores that I process to PDF and include in a a LaTeX "container" document to produce a booklet of nearly 200 pages at this point. But I also want to be able to print them as individual scores. When I'm "including" a score, I push the margins to nea

Creating multi-score books

The title and composer disappeared into the ether -- clearly the method here only works for snippets, not full or multi-page scores. I keep banging at this and getting nowhere. As putting a bunch of individual scores together into a book may be a more or less common task, a good template would be

Problems with musicxml2ly

Just tried to import a cubase XML file and hit a *bunch* of errors. I did finally get a .ly, but it was a struggle and required the command line version rather than working in Frescobaldi. I post this, not so much asking for assistance, but as possibly useful data for those working on musicxml2

The likely answer is that I'm doing this all wrong, but I'll ask and hopefully find a solution that doesn't involve a complete re-structure of my source files. I've read the following several times an haven't found anything relevant http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/techniques-

I use Lilypond mostly for song sheets with a melody,lyrics and guitar chords. On occasion I use Linux toolsto generate an MP3 of the tune to make it easier tolearn to sing a new tune. Something that would be "nice" would be a way tospecify a guitar rhythm that would repeat the chordsas the
