Re: \context for named Staff

Hi Nick, From my point of view the main use for smallStaff (or whatever it gets called) is for ossia staves. Except IIRC ossia staves and solo/cue staves are usually of different sizes, yes? Cheers, Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilyp

Pop versions of classical music

Just an idea on typesetting popular music that people would recognize but that have copyright issues: quite a number of these songs are, as suggested in another thread, older non-copyrighted songs with new lyrics added and typesetting the originals is one way around the problem. Here's a few that

Re: line-width

Hi Alexandros, but from a point (somewhere after 70\mm) the width remains the same. What do I do wrong? If you only have one line of music, Lilypond does not stretch the system by default — to change the behaviour, play around with ragged-right = ##f ragged-last = ##f See
