Hi Thomas, Ben for some reason, neither of your codes seem to work: I always get arabic numerals in a box if I use \mark \default. I think something is overriding that setting elsewhere in my config files; I'll try to track it down. The MWE Ben sent works just as I want it to on its own, but not

Hi List, is there any other available format for rehearsal marks? My client wants Roman numerals, and the workaround I've been using: <>^\markup { \raise #4 \right-align \abs-fontsize #16 \bold { "IV" } } doesn't work if the voice containing it is resting at that point (or, conversely, I don't

Hi List, for "reasons" I have a passage that should have blank staves with no barlines, rests, clefs, etc. However, at the start of the section is an expressive mark, which should itself have a footnote. What I have thus far is as follows: \version "2.19.80" \relative c { \time 2/4

Hi Phil, thanks for your message. The thing is, here's another example: \version "2.19.80" \relative c'' { c e, g16 a b8 \bar "" \break r e, g16 a b8 } The 'g16 a b8' in the first line is beamed correctly. Is this something peculiar to 3/4 time? Cheers, A >
