notes in the meter line of the header

2004-07-18 Thread Carl Sorensen
Isn't this a misuse of the meter line in the heading?  I thought that
meter was used not to show the timing, but rather to show the number of
syllables per line in hymn tunes, e.g. 8:8:8:8.

I think the place to indicate the speed of the piece is with a metronome
mark:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Metronome-marks.html#Metronome%20marks

This piece of documentation shows how to get a mark like quarter note =
105.


Hope this helps.

Carl Sorensen

Raising markups

2004-07-18 Thread Shelagh
I was waondering how you would raise markups when they are
of the sort \mark \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts-segno"}.
I tried experimenting with \raise # 2.0 and the realised this
was only in relation to the other markup text. I tried to follow
the padding commands but I didn't 'get it'.
Any suggestions?
Shelagh
PS Before I sent this I did one further experiment. I
\mark \markup {" " \raise #3.0 \musicglyph #"sript-coda"}
And it worked. Maybe this will be useful for others.
But I'd still like to know how to use the padding command for these
items in a global override?

notes in the meter line of the header

2004-07-18 Thread Russ Ross
Anyone know of a way to include a note in the "meter" line of the
header?  For example:

\header {
  title = "Old MacDonald Had a Farm"
  meter = "** = 60"
}

only with ** replaced by a quarter note.

Thanks,

Russ

I solved the problem by running dvips again and restarting xdvi. I'm just not 
quite sure why I had to do this. Most of the time it works fine without 
having to take those steps. Just occasionally it has to be done.

This bug has now been fixed.

I have included in the 2.3 release a font-postscript.ly which shows
how to do this.  It should also work in 2.2
