Thanks for your help. I'll try that. I am aware of these commands, but
it is not easy for a beginner to find out the right command with the
right parameters. And they may be difficult to use since the other
objects stay where they are :)

You might try
\once \override Staff.Clef #'extra-X-extent = #'(-2 . 1)
\clef tenor
which would give you 2 more units of space to the left of the
clef symbol and 1 more unit of space to the right of the clef.
("tenor": sorry, I deleted so much e-mail that I've lost track

I'm sitting at a non-LilyPond machine at the moment, so I can't test
that to verify it, but I've used similar commands to provide extra space
to the left or right of various musical graphic objects ("grobs").

The purpose of using lilypond-book here is just to stick multiple

Could you please remind me and others on why you could not simply do it
all within a .ly file:
\version "2.6.0"
\paper{
% For version 2.6:
scoreTitleMarkup = \bookTitleMarkup
% For version 2.7:
printallheaders = ##t
}
\include "piece1.ly"
\include "piece2.ly"
...
Now I remember one problem, namely that you have to move all
\header{...}
blocks into the corresponding \score{...} block, otherwise all the
pieces will
get the same title.
Interestingly, I didn't need to do that with 2.7.12 and printallheaders.
But are there any other problems that you solve easier with
lilypond-book?
Yes. The above produces:
collection.pdf (includes piece1, with pages numbered 1 and 2)
collection-1.pdf (includes piece2, with pages numbered 1 and 2 as
well)
(assuming piece1 and 2 are both 2 pages)
Now, I _could_ manually set piece2 to start on page 3, and I could
probably find some command-line tool to stick foo.pdf and foo-1.pdf
together as fooall.pdf (I know pstools can do this with ps files)...
but I found it easier to use lilypond-book.
The automatic page numbering is a bigger issue than sticking pdfs
together. Once I've found the tool (pdftools ?), I can just include
those commands in a script and have it done automatically. But if I
change the order of pieces in a collection, or add an extra page of
text at the beginning or whatever, I'd have to change all the manual
page numbers again.

Hello-
The solutions so far have produced very odd results.
Mostly in the form of extra blank measures for the markup words.

producing the 'partial' measure effect which is very confusing.

Re: what is wrong with this \markup /padding?
This sort of worked, whereas the other two suggestions did not work at all.
However what it did not do was raise the word 'Moderato' above the tempo
marking the word Pelleagato appears next to the tempo marking which
would be sufficient/acceptable except I still don't know what is going on.
My guess is that s1^ is doing something even though it's doing something
different in each case- which means that I don't know what/why.
I suspect that Han-Wen did answer thoroughly but I accidently deleted
that response.
I apologize.

Table of contents, various performance notes, exotic stuff (an ostinato

some explanation), etc...
I'm not sure I would not be able to achieve the same with plain Lilypond
though, but I doubt it will provide the flexibility of LaTeX. Besides,
I don't feel like learning yet another markup language :-) LaTeX took
me long enough, thank you very much !!!
Lilypond-book does a great job for me... but experience has shown that
most other people and I do not use Lilypond for the same things, so my
opinion is of limited scope here.

Table of contents comes to mind.
I've made a reduction for voice+piano of Giulio Cesare for a singer,
who asked me to add a table of contents. Argh. But apart from that, I
don't really see the advantage of using lilypond-book for a document

2 conversion problems 2.4.6->2.6.3
Hi, I am trying to convert some lilypond sources from 2.4.6 to 2.6.3 (as delivered with SUSE 10.0) and encounter two problems: 1.) convert-ly aborts when invoked as "convert-ly PianoSonataB_2.ly" on the command line, although this file compiled without problems under 2.4.6, and 2.6.3 also handles the old format quite well. The error message is posted below (and is then followed by a screen output of the entire file, which I don't include here). I don't understand at all what is meant by it - I can only say that I don't see where I depart from the manual with respect to the beams.

I've been using Lilypond with jEdit for about 2 months now for arranging instrumental parts. The only challenge has been learning some of the syntax but I can't complain. You have done a wonderful job with this software. I'd be interested in helping to support getting this Scribus feature up and running. Also, are there any user groups in the Eastern U.S. or parties interested in perhaps a workshop?

Re: tiny ties
Same problem here. I tried: \override Voice.Tie #'minimum-length = #5 but this has no effect. I don't understand "This requires an appropriate routine for the spacing-procedure property" from the manual, though. Is any other setting neccesary to make it work?

Re: bars and clefs
This order is specified by the break-align-orders property of the BreakAlignment object, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/BreakAlignment.html#BreakAlignment So, to modify this for clef changes in the middle of a line, for example, you could do; \override Score.BreakAlignment #'break-align-orders = #'( ;; end of line (instrument-name left-edge ambitus breathing-sign clef staff-bar key-cancellation key-signature time-signature custos) ;; unbroken (instrument-name left-edge ambitus breathing-sign ;; Default order: ;; clef ;; staff-bar ;; Modified into: staff-bar clef key-cancellation key-signature staff time-signature custos) ;; begin of line (instrument-name left-edge ambitus breathing-sign clef key-cancellation key-signature staff-bar time-signature custos))) /Mats Guy Durrieu wrote: Hello, When specifying a clef change after a bar (for exemple a repeat bar), the clef is placed before the bar.

Re: Alligned articulations
A related question: Why does not staff-padding have any effect on
articulations? Is it since the ScriptColumns override the layout?

The easy way out is to reverse the stacking order of the scripts, or
to make one of them appear underneath the notes.

If I understand correctly, this is to make it possible to insert
text between the different movements (as is the purpose of \book).
Right?
The purpose of using lilypond-book here is just to stick multiple
scores together, with page numbering.
Could you please remind me and others on why you could not simply do it
all within a .ly file:
\version "2.6.0"
\paper{
% For version 2.6:
scoreTitleMarkup = \bookTitleMarkup
% For version 2.7:
printallheaders = ##t
}
\include "piece1.ly"
\include "piece2.ly"
...
Now I remember one problem, namely that you have to move all \header{...}
blocks into the corresponding \score{...} block, otherwise all the
pieces will
get the same title. But are there any other problems that you solve
easier with
lilypond-book?
--- 1allegro/score.ly
According to Han-Wen's remark, with or without \book here, the
result should be the same.
Not if you're using lilypond-book. If you don't use \book, then you
can't use \pageBreak in your scores. There used to be a bug (in Aug)
wherein the horizontal alignment of some systems was also messed up
without \book; I'm not certain if that's still around.
That's a rather special issue and should be described in the lilypond-book
manual. I still find the information about \book in the main manual very
misleading, both in "8.1.4 Text markup", "10.1.12 Multiple movements"
and "5.8 File structure". If you agree, I can try to reformulate it.

Won't work, since in the real score there's also snare, bassdrum and other instruments which already uses the space under the staff.
