Well, the availability of "\hide \BarLine" and "\undo \hide \BarLine" is relatively recent. I think I saw a place where it was described in the v2.17 documentation, but not in the v2.16 documentation As to \cadenzaOn, from the LilyPond documentation: http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms "Inserting a \bar command within a cadenza does not start a new measure, even if a bar line is printed. So any accidentals – which are usually assumed to remain in force until the end of the measure – will still be valid after the bar line printed by \bar." In the case of typesetting renaissance (choral) music you do want the modern conventions for accidentals. With \cadenzaOn you would lose the automated handling of accidentals. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Learning-LilyPond-comments-invited-tp156969p157031.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
