The docs you want to refer to this for would be: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-paper-variables#list-of-flexible-vertical-spacing-paper-variables Specifically, you want the system-system-spacing The docs explain in fair detail how those settings get

Re: Multiple instances of same articulation/bowing on one note

Hi Ahanu, I would split things out into some variables, and put the articulations into separate contexts. I find it makes things much easier to keep track of. For example: \version "2.24.0" \language "english" music = { g8 g g g } upArticulation = { g8 g-\upbow g g } downArticulation = { g8

I've done a number of scores where I'm having extra stanzas of lyrics added either directly after the last staff of music, or, more frequently, on a separate page. Either way, I use the \string-lines command. It has the advantage of accepting an entire paragraph, and going along with the existing

Hi Mark, Looks like Hairpins have their own sizing properties. A full list is at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/internals/hairpin but in this case looks like height is probably the one you want used something like this: \version "2.24.0" \relative c'' { << \new Staff \with {

I'm also on Ubuntu here (well, to be a bit more precise I'm using the KUbuntu distro, but should be close enough). I tried your command and had it fail. But, when I altered it just a bit it worked. All I had to do was specify the full path to the convert.ly file, like this: find . -name '*.ly'

So far I've only tried 2.23.80 on a few simple scores, but so far everything is working as expected. These are simple lap dulcimer and tin whistle scores that I initially made with 2.22.0, then 2.22.1, thru 2.22.2, transitioned to 2.23.14, and then to 2.23.80. The only (very slight) issue I've
