Questions from new lilypond user

I'm trying to learn Lilypond by transcribing Dowland's Lacrimae Pavan from lute tablature to guitar. I have a few questions: * when I generate the PDF, each note links to the file on my desktop. Is there a way to de-link the PDF file? * In the piece below (intro to Dowland's Lachrimae Pavan) t

a suggestion

Hi, I'm Hu Haipeng, the blind musician of China. I'm discussing an important thing with Werner, who suggests me to write to the maillist here. I have got a great progress during these few days since I began to learn Lilypond. But I find a problem at the appendix of the Notation Reference Manua

getting line feeds and page feeds in \markup between scores

Hi, I'm using \Book to put a hymnal together, and have hit a total snag trying to get some sort of intelligent pagination and line spacing to happen. I'm using \include to pull in stand-alone scores I've written, and using \markup lines between the scores to show title, composer, and copyright in

RE: Manual Staff switching

David Your music consists of 8 bars in 2/4 plus a 1/16th upbeat, but your skip to keep the staff alive is 5 whole notes, ie 10 bars in 2/4, so there are almost 2 bars left over. Write your skips as \skip 16 \skip 2*8 and the two will end at the same time. I do not get an extra clef, though.

Re: Align of Staff.instrumentName

Hi, this is what I thought also, but yes, you will probably have to count it for each score again (and also when scaling the notes?). Copied also to user. Greetings Till Stefan Slapeta schrieb: Two first approaches (\context {\Staff ... } ): \override InstrumentName #'self-alignment-Y

Re: Hiding Staves with Lyrics

Hi Robert, I'm afraid I don't really understand your problem, but if you don't want barlines I recommend to you that you simply use ChoirStaff instead of StaffGroup. Sorry if that doesn't help. Happy New Year! Zoltán ___ lilypond-user mailing

Re: remove Time_signature_engraver only partially

Hi Ole, In the following snippet I want to remove the Time_signature_engraver only in the second and the third bar (no timesign 6/4 and 4/4 again). How can I achive that? You can't remove the engraver from a context for only a few bars. However, you can always turn the time signature engr

Re: automatic accidentals don't work correctly

Dear Rune, Yes, true, I forgot to add the " #(set-accidental-style 'forget)" but the layout is still not convinving for me, I think it has to do with the ties: for example, at the very end of the 6th bar, there is an "e" and there should be a natural sign, but it is missing. Another thing is the t
