Hi, Mark. I knew there was nothing wrong with the code itself, I wanted some directions with the font problem. I sownloaded the liilypond file here: http://eugenecormier.com/?p=157
And this is what it looks like after compiling on my system: http://i.imgur.com/uZMzfZw.png Michael, the actual sheet music (don't know the precise word in English, sorry) looks ok. But if I put any text, even change the time to a 3/4, it screws up. I tried changing the font size of the title. It doesn't work when I use #1 or fractions: piece = \markup { \fontsize #1 \bold "PRAELUDIUM I" } But if I put something like #30 I can see it is bigger because the whole top of the file becomes a black bar. I suspect it is a PDF/font problem (though it also happens with PNG, but I don't know if the compiling proccess is the same). I'll keep trying ;-) On Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 1:24 PM, Gerdau, Michael <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Thiago, > > > I am new to Lilypond.
