Hi guys, well, i will try to bring some light..
I reccomend you take a look at the tutorial avaliable at: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.1/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Tutorial.html It's very very short, and explains very well the syntax. But, here i tell you the basics. The new syntax is: SIMULTANEOUS MUSIC: The notation << .. >> can be used as a shorthand for \simultaneous { .. } Manual beaming: c[ d] SLURS: c( d) PHRASE SLURS: If you need two slurs at the same time (one for articulation, one for phrasing), you can also make a phrasing slur with \( and \). e.g. a8(\( ais b c) cis2 b'2 a4 cis, c\) e.g. \score { \notes << \new Staff { \time 3/4 \clef violin \relative c'' { e2( d4 c2 b4 a8[ a] b[ b] g[ g] a2.) } } \new Staff { \clef bass c2 e4 g2. f4 e d c2. } >> \paper {} } ARTICULATIONS: Common accents can be added to a note using a dash (`-') and a single character: c-. c-- c-> c-^ c-+ c-_ Dynamic signs are made by adding the markings to the note: c\ff c\mf Crescendi and decrescendi are started with the commands \< and \>. The command \! finishes a crescendo on the note it is attached to: c2\< c2\!\ff\> c2 c2\! CHORDS: Chords can be made by surrounding pitches with < and >: r4 <c e g>4 <c f a>8 You can combine beams and ties with chords. Beam and tie markings must be placed outside the chord markers: r4 <c e g>8[ <c f a>]~ <c f a> r4 <c e g>8\>( <c e g> <c e g> <c f a>8\!) greetings, joseluis _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
