There could/should be mentioned, beside that a score must start with a music expression and that it cannot contain more than one music expression (which can be complex compound ({...} <<...>>)), what a music expression is, at least that \set is one (and has to be put inside a complex mus. expr.) and that \layout (which can follow that musical expression) is not. There is a link to „Music expressions explained“, where there isn't explained at all a \set (or ovverride) command! It's also there (LM 3.1.2) where you find the following example: \relative c'' { c2 <<c e>> << { e f } { c <<b d>> } >> } Shouldn't this be \relative c'' { c2 <c e> << { e f } { c <b d> } >> } ??? Just add one sentence and one \set command to one example. Maybe something like: % lilypond-version \version "2.10.33" % A4-paper, smaller top marge \paper { #(set-paper-size "a4") top-margin = -0.5\cm } % nice height of staves #(set-global-staff-size 21) \score % starts with and includes just one musical expression { \context Staff = bla % at same time << ... >> << \context Voice = blu { \relative g' { \time 2/2 f2 a | g1 | R1*4 | a4 g f2 | } } % condensing longer parts of "tacet" \set Score.skipBars = ##t >> % output settings \layout { % no indent of first line (stave(s)) indent = #0 % no bar numbering \context { \Score \remove "Bar_number_engraver" } } % end of the score } In the LM is an example for this setting in 5.3 which unfortunately doesn't show the whole code. (The differences between \layout and especially \header in- or outside the score-block already mentioned here, should be explained in the LM too, of course.) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
