Dear all, When using Lilypond to typeset a transcription of a Palestrina Mass the past couple of days, I stumbled upon several things which bother me more or less: 1. Is it possible to change the bar line depending on whether the note values exceed the measure or not? For instance, when typing dl = \set Timing.defaultBarType = "dashed" nl = \set Timing.defaultBarType = "|" \new Voice \relative c'' { \clef G \time 3/1 \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = #'(3 . 2) % tempus perfectum d1 d2 c1 c2 d1 a2 c1 \dl b \nl a4 g a1 g4 a b c [etc.] } it would be nice to automatically change the bar line to dashed when the b exceeds the measure, instead of enclosing it with macros that change the default bar type to dashed and back.
There's no such feature available as far as I know.
2. When notating musica ficta using 'suggestAccidentals', an accidental should be written above the bar for every altered note. At the end of a section I wrote \new Voice \relative c'' { \set suggestAccidentals = ##t \clef G \time 3/1 \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = #'(3 . 2) [...] f2 g1 fis4 e fis1 \set Staff.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 4 1) g\longa \bar "|." } and only above the first f an accidental is printed. I know I can place it manually adding '^\markup{\sharp}', but I don't think that's a good solution.
Read the section on Automatic Accidentals. I guess you want to add #(set-accidental-style 'forget)
3. When entering lyrics I need to italicize part of the text (to indicate the text is my addition). But I get error messages when using text = \lyricmode { Ky -- ri -- e e -- le -- i -- son \italic Ky -- ri -- _ e e -- _ _ _ _ _ _ _ le -- i -- son Ky -- ri -- e e -- le -- _ _ _ _ _ _ _ i -- son } or several variations on \italic.
There are no such macros defined, but you can make them yourself: italics = \override LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic upright = \revert LyricText #'font-shape /Mats _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
