hi mike, i sent a tiny image in my previous mail, here's attached the
whole fragment. the problematic line is the first one. please note that
the lyrics are much more separated from the staff than in the other two
lines. this is caused by the markups on the a16 at the end of the line
(lyrics "time").
note also that doing away with the markups the lyrics regain its proper
distance (2nd image).
the code of the markups is the following:
\shapeSlur #'(0 0 -.3 -1.2 .9 -1.5 0.5 -0.3)
\once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 5)
a16
-\markup {
\postscript #"0.2 setlinewidth
1 setlinecap
1.8 -9 moveto
3 -9.7 lineto
4.2 -9 lineto
stroke" }
-\markup {
\override #'(font-name . "Emmentaler")
\fontsize #1
\halign #-12
\char ##xe11a }
thanks for your attention,
lj
(BTW, i wouldn't mind some "kludgy" code if i could get a quick and dirty
solution to this particular problem soon...)<><>___

I cannot think what problem this is solving. or how it is adding to the music in any way at all. Otherwise you simply add a note saying to go back to repeat X instead of Y. I think your example is far too short to get the point across. Maybe there could be some piece where you start at A got Z repeat back to B got to Y repeat back to C and so on, in ever decreasing 'circles', that may be something a 'modern' composer might do. Or even me come to think of it. :) But then you'd just label your repeat bars. regards James ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

At least I want to think about it. Writing your music down in a correct way helps the intpreter to play better and the composer to think better. There are many strange and inconsequent things in music notation. If you know them you can avoid them and make your music or score clearer. This is where Lilypond comes in because I use it to create scores :) Nils ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Another tricky music situation. This time: Repeat Nightmare with alternative endings.
Hello list, Maybe you have an opinion about this musical situation, described here: http://www.nilsgey.de/2012/04/05/nightmare-repeats/ In my eyes it should be forbidden. The real cause it that alternative endings use the same glyph as boundary as repeats: the repeat close barline. Better would be a glyph that is explicitely and only for the first/second ending bracket, but well.. we don't got that over the last few hundred years.

When I encounter this, I use tags. In your case:
notes = relative c' {
...
\tag #'pdf { s1 s1 }
\tag #'midi { g1~ g }
}
This needs separate scores for PDF and MIDI output. The former then uses
\keepWithTag #'pdf \notes, and the latter \keepwithTag #'midi \notes.

lyrics - vertical position
hello list, i have some code with two markups on a note (one of them postscript code), and some tweaks including \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset and \shapeSlur. for some reason, the presence of the markups forces the lyrics down too far away from the staff (see image). i studied an example from the notation manual (2.1.2 Techniques specific to lyrics - Placing lyrics vertically), but i can only make it work at the \layout level, thus affecting the whole score. i only need to adjust the position of this particular line, to compensate the displacement caused by the markups. is there a way to adjust the vertical position of lyrics locally? TIA, lj <>___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
