Hi all,
I notated a song with lyrics which are crunched together.
The code is below. I gather most of you won't be able to read the hebrew, but I would guess the same behaviour happens sometimes with english.
The original song has all the eight notes and sixteenth notes with flags. While this may infact solve the problem, I don't like reading music with flags only, I find my eyes like beams.
So is there an easy (I mean easy) way to make this look nice?
I read about the possibility of setting the note value for spacing. Is this the way I should be going.
I have many songs to set so if it requires some tweak I would probably want to put it in a variable, right.
I hate to say this since I HATE Finale, but they had a feature which applied to the notation different spacing defaults.
I haven't touched Finale in ages but it was as I recall, beat spacing, note spacing, measure spacing.
This would be a great feature to notate a piece and on the command line:
lilypond -s beat mysong.ly
lilypond -s measure mysong.ly
maybe even with the ability to make the spacing apply to a range of measures.
