Fingerings with Flat Symbol
Hello I'm transcribing jazz solos and am searching for an efficient means of notating scale-tone numbers above notes, incorporating sharps and flats, e.g. 1 3 sharp5 flat7. I realize I'm able to use text markup commands for this. However, the use of fingerings would be much faster and require less typing. So, the question is: how do I append flat and sharp symbols to fingering numbers?

Chord Names Tweak
Hello all, Does anyone have suggestions for tweaking the position of accidental in chord names. For example, the flat sign in in the chord name Ab? I find in the default Lilypond setting the flat symbol is too big and too low on the base line.

Volume Control of Accent Articulation
I'm writing a percussion part and would like to set volume levels for accent markings (<). I'm able to do this using dynamics markings (ff, pp, etc.) but have not found a way to do this with accent markings. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Midi2ly Error
I'm encountering problems with midi2ly. I receive the error below when running midi2ly on midi files exported from Reaper, a DAW. I receive no error when converting midi files created by Lilypond or Anvil Studio, a midi only program. Any insight or suggestions for exporting midi would be greatly appreciated.

Unicode Fingereings
Greetings All, I am beginning to write music for my harmonica practice and would like to use two Unicode characters in my fingerings: ↑ (Unicode: 2191/UTF8: E2 86 91) and ↓ (Unicode: 2193/UTF8: E2 86 93) I'm a little stumped as Unicode characters work as lyrics..

Jazz Chords
I've been searching for a way to customize chord superscript. I found the example for chord-name-major7.ly but would like to customize minor 7th chords too. Also, I have not found a way to print 13th chords (C7/b9/13) without 'add' (C7/9/add13).-Jonathan \paper { indent = 0\mm raggedlastbottom = ##f printpagenumber = ##t oddFooterMarkup = "BOLLING GRYN .

Re: Book creation
RevRev. Gilbert,I found a link that may be of some use to you. It is a sight-singing book created with Lilypond and LaTex.http://www.lightandmatter.com/sight/sight.html-Jonathan TownesFrom: Gordon Gilbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Date: September 5, 2005 6:36:26 PM EDTTo: lilypond-user@gnu.orgSubject: Book creationHi all!I have composed a Missa Brevis (short Mass) setting with several distinct pieces. In the past I have simply printed each piece out on separate pages. However, I would like to put them all together in a book, with title page, contents (with one-bar snippets if that's not too difficult), a page of comments, etc. Can someone point me to where in the documentation (or elsewhere) I can find *all* the necessary information on doing that? I have looked in the docs, and found some of it, but I think I am missing something. I use 2.5.29, and run it on FreeBSD 5.3 with a reasonable amount of horsepower and ram.Thanks in advance,Blessings,Fr. Gordon Gilbert+ +=+ | Angels' Roost Farm | | Rev. Fr.

\triangle in markup
Greetings, I have been using \triangle within markup, e.g. c4^\markup { \triangle } . Until upgrading to Lilypond 2.6.5 from 2.6.3 I had no problems. I am, however, able to use \flat and \sharp in Lilypond 2.6.5. As an experiment, I reinstalled 2.6.3 and am still receiving the following error: Processing `Untitled.ly' Parsing... Untitled.ly:5:31: error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting SCM_T or SCM_IDENTIFIER c4^\markup { \triangle } d e f error: errors found, ignoring music expression error: failed files: "Untitled.ly" I am also attaching an excerpt of my previous \triangle success.
