Note names are causing text marks to be duplicated

2024-04-25 Thread Eric Benson
I took one of the NoteName examples from the documentation and dropped a \textMark in the middle of it, and there is an extra copy of that text mark for each NoteName staff. nntest.ly Description: Binary data nntest.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document

\repeat segno questions

2024-04-23 Thread Eric Benson
I'm just starting to try out the new-ish \repeat segno feature. I want to customize the labels. Is there a way to change the text that is used? Also, I'm not sure how to combine \repeat volta with \repeat segno. Can I put a "to coda" mark in the middle of the body of a \repeat volta?

Minimize flats or sharps in transposed key signature?

2024-04-08 Thread Eric Benson
I'm using \transpose pretty heavily, and I'm running into an issue I don't quite know how to solve. I'm aware of the \naturalizeMusic hack described in the LilyPond documentation. I'm looking for something similar, but for key signatures. When a \key specification gets transposed, I would like to

One limitation to keep in mind is that you must not put lilypond page numbers in the scores, because pdfpages needs to write its own page numbers that correspond to the ToC. On Mon, Feb 12, 2024 at 2:42 PM Eric Benson wrote: > I should say that aside from wasting space on repeated font data,

I should say that aside from wasting space on repeated font data, my technique of using pdfpages in LaTeX is very effective and not difficult, including a mechanism for starting two-page scores on even pages. Here's my template: On Mon, Feb 12, 2024 at 2:27 PM Charlie Ma wrote: > I should add

Assembling individual scores into a book

2024-02-12 Thread Eric Benson
I have a growing collection of one- or two-page scores that I want to assemble into books, each with a table of contents. I've been using LaTeX's pdfpages package for this purpose, just pulling together all the LilyPond pdf output with page numbers added and a ToC on the front. This method works

Well then, sorry for bothering you all! I don't know how I confused myself so badly, but I'm just glad to be out of that hole! I think I tried to put the \pageBreak inside the \markup, which definitely does not work. On Thu, May 4, 2023 at 4:24 PM Kieren MacMillan wrote: > Hi Eric, > > > Oh! I

pageBreak outside a score?

I find myself doing this more than once: Enter a score. Enter some notes as markup text. Enter another score. Between the notes and the second score, I want a page break. I don't see how to do this. \pageBreak doesn't work outside of a \score, nor at the very beginning of a \score. How can I
