Also, be sure you are using the font name exactly as the system knows it. To find out, click on the font in the Font Settings window. Properly installed fonts will show you the metadata. In your Lilypond code, specify the font name exactly as it is in the "Full Name" field of the metadata. That

Hello Elaine, While I cannot say anything for sure (lacking a Windows system) I guess the fonts are installed in some folder in your user directory that is not part of the fontconfig font path. The system location for fonts on windows is C: \Windows\Fonts. Try to copy your font files directly

That is not in fact worded correctly. The midi standard allows a midi controller to specify a program to the midi synthesizer, which is a number in 0-127 and is intended to allow for switching between different sounds (although it is in fact the decision of the synthesizer what to do with

Hi Valentin, Nashville Numbers came up repeatedly on this list in the last years. I'm also a huge fan and would like to see them implemented. Altered degrees are written b3 or #4 in the Nashville system. Chord modifiers are as per normal. But there are also rhythmic markers that should be

Hello Sam, (please keep lilypond-user in the address list) The big problem here is the the chord naming function (which is responsible for creating that chordname) does not expect the root name to depend on context properties, so it does not pass the context as argument. This means we cannot

Hello Sam, Sure, just use (number->string (1+ step)) to increment the number by 1. Generally it is possible to do more, but you’d need to specify what is needed. After all most of us probably have no real knowledge about the Nashville System. For example this does not yet incorporate
