Explain, please? Mischa, Don't forget to use "reply to all" so that your messages show up on the mailing list. ragged-last-bottom is here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/user/lilypond/Page-formatting#Other-layout-variables The documentation for the other 3 were only added to the source files recently: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=commit;h=777290146739b3896eacd2b65d5d87b2826603e9 So they won't appear in the docs until 2.13.1 is released. Of the three, it looks like only systems-per-page is available in 2.13.0. So you can try this: \paper { systems-per-page = #3 } But you should also try this: \paper { ragged-last-bottom = ##t } hope this helps - Mark Mark, thanks for your help (ie. Reply to ALL) My question would be: WHERE do I plug in the \paper { ragged-last-bottom = ##t } ?

Vertical Spacing question
Hello All, I'm using version 2.12.1, and my piece utilizes a GrandStaff with 6 Staffs. The .pdf file generated shows all the pages, except for the final page, with a big space between two GrandStaffs. I would like to modify the spacing so that three GS's would show on each page. Is this possible? Thanks-in-advance, Mischa ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
SPACING AND MIDI ISSUES
Hello All, I have a piece that currently is 84 pages in length. It is 6 voices in harmony. When the pdf files is generated, however, each page shows six lines at the top, a GAP, and then 6 lines again at the bottom...until the final page...when there are 6 lines followed by six lines - NO gap. The other issue is the generating of a midi file. The score has what I assume to be the proper \midi { } placement since there are no error messages...but I don't see any midi file being created. The spacing issue is a bit more crucial, since losing that GAP would cut-down on the number of printed pages required. Thanks in advance for your help, Mischa ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

How to do THAT? Also, LilypondTool via jEdit isn't generating a MIDI file either. Just to clear-up any confusion, the IDEA behind this piece is that each phrase/Voice is repeated UNTIL the "next" vertical chord would be identical to the first vertical chord. In other words, the last "chord" for this piece is the same as the first...g b d r c g. Pretty cerebral, eh? Any way, that's where it stands right now. The ball is in anyone's court :-D . ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Sounds interesting; can you please post some of your code? Regards, Valentin Valentin, thanks for being interested :-) . I have a feeling, right off the bat, that there's probably too much "here" here, so any tips on less code would be appreciated also. \parallelMusic #'(voiceA voiceB voiceC voiceD voiceE voiceF) { voiceA = \relative c'' { \time 4/4 \key g \major {g'4 fis4 d8[e b c]}{d4 fis4 d4 b4}{a8[b] \times 2/3 {c d c}d8[g fis d]}{c4 a2 g4} (g4 fis...(this phrase repeats) } voiceB = \relative c { \time 4/4 \key g \major {d'8[e] fis4 g8[a] c4}{e4 c8[b] a4 g8[fis]}{d8[e] fis4 g8[a] c4}{e4 c8[b] a4 g8[fis]} {d8[e]...(this also repeats as above) } this set-up is the same all the way through voiceF, with out the parenthetical notes for you } } \new GrandStaff << \new Staff \new Voice \voiceA (etc., to) \new Staff \new Voice \voiceF >> \layout {} \midi {} } Well, that's the gist of it. Even though I've entered the code for additional measures, all the pdf shows is the initial 4. Thnx again for your help.

Hello all. Trying to do a piece with 6 seperate voices. The first 4 measures look fine, but I'm not able to go any further! Using version 2.10.0, on a Windows 98 box...which has worked fine for me this far. I've written a total of eight measures for each voice, but the pdf only will show the first 4. Suggestions?

Problem that needs help
Running Lilypond 2.10.0 and jEdit 4.3pre8 and Java 1.5.0_10, and "things" have been OK. Background...I had a file which I removed ~84 bars from. Decided to restore those bars by typing them in. Began processing and this is the result...no .pdf file is part of the result (but WHY?), and if I try playing the .midi file, what I'm hearing is some kind of "shifting" of the treble and bass parts...hearing harmonies that are NOT part of the score.
