I think you mean fermata? This is confusing. In English, "breve" means an accent above the vowel, not necessrily the musical notation.

Two explanations:
1) Error detection is hard -- by assumption, something is wrong with
the file, and computers don't deal with unexpected input very easily.
2) Since the bracket isn't there, lilypond thinks that you're defining
a \score outside of the main body of the lilypond file (or outside of a
\book).
I mean, how _should_ lilypond know that you only intended to have three
notes inside the \times? Remember that \times 2/3{ a8 a a b b b} is
perfectly valid input.

symphonic, continuos movements, percussion, midi
Peace and Health in Jesus Christ
\version “2.4.5”
I'm about a orchestral piece. As a lily newbie it have been an endure to
me. It is like to learn driving with a truck.
The piece has 3 parts but they are not distinct movements, instead,
sections to be played continuously.
What have I been done:
1. after type instruments in separated files (for example, fluteI.ly,
fluteII.ly and fluteIII.ly),
2. I did prepare separated files to each section (sectionI.ly,
sectionII.ly and sectionIII.ly) and, finally,
3. I made a central file which calls the sections.
Then, one demand arose in relation to the setting of the sections names
(once the titling procedure was left behind, because they were thought to
distinct movements, I think). Gently, mr. /Mats suggest me the following:
[quote]
movementOne = {c d e f}
movementTwo = {g f e d}
movementThree = {c e g c,}
\score{
{
\mark "Movement 1" \movementOne
\mark "Adagio" \movementTwo
\mark "Finale" \movementThree
}
}
[end of quote]
A) Nevertheless, marks alignment cannot be tuned and is centred “by
nature”. How to force left align? In other words, they are displayed
centered to the barline and my texts (the name of the sections) are quite
long so we got it over two or three measures (centered at bar 46, for
example), like this:
I - The Great Name of The Section
44 454647
|c d e f | g a b c || d e f g |...
But we need (bar 46 left align):
I - The Great Name of The Section
44 454647
|c d e f | g a b c || d e f g |...
B) Other question. The last notes of first section tied with first notes
of the second section dont tie, indeed. What to do?
C) The metronome mark collide with high notes in the first staff. How lift
it up?
D) And, at last, to the ones engraving symphonic music or something:
D1) Which is the better way to deal with percussions? (I've studied
\drummode, \drums, \DrumVoice, \DrumContext, DrumStaff, \DrumStaffContext
and a suggestion on this issue will be very appreciated.)
D2) How about the percussion midi be audible, e.g., the relation
graphic versus sound? I mean, is there a “WYSIWYG practice”
dealing with (simple) symphonic percussion under Lilypond?
Thanks in advance,

The term 'footer' isn't understood. All of the 'footer' type things in

This will compile, but all you've done (internally) is define a variable
called 'otherHeaderItem'. All of the other header things--title,
composer and so on--are the same, but they're defined in a file called
titling-init.ly (somewhere in your installation.) Since this file
doesn't tell Lily what to do with otherHeaderItem, it just says "that's
nice!" and continues.
If you know any Scheme you might be able figure out how to define
otherHeaderItem the way you want it.

Donating to lilypond
Fellow lilypond users, I just donated $25 euros to lilypond and I intend to do this every month for at least one year. It's not very much but it's something. The sponsored feature seems to be working really all (please keep that up!), but there are things other than new features that have to be done like fixing bugs, refactoring code, and so on. This donation is not intended for any feature in particular, Han-Wen can use it to fix bugs or to add to the amount required for a feature. I hope more lilypond users will start donating regularly, even if a small donation. I suppose many users don't donate because they can't expend much money, but suppose that 200 users donate 5 bucks each, the total will be 1000. That's not bad for a 5 euro donation.

Re: Vertical lyric/stanza spacing
Basically, the answer is found in the section on "Vertical spacing".
There, you can see how to change the minimumVerticalExtent for
a Staff, but you can do exactly the same for a Lyrics context.
To find the default value, go to Program Reference -> Translation ->
Contexts -> Lyrics.
If you need more details, search the mailing list archives.

kind of
information related to titling, page headers and page footers.
By default, you can only specify the footer of the first page (using
copyright = ...)
and last page (using tagline = ...). If you want footers on every page, you
have to redefine how footers are printed, see information at the bottom of
the page of "Creating Titles" and the default implementations in the file
/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/ly/titling-init.ly or wherever your LilyPond
installation resides.
Also, I was wondering how to make line breaks in a header or footer.
Use text markup (i.e. the \markup{...} command).
I was also wondering how to make additional pieces of text in a header
or footer.
I mean, if I want something besides the poet or composer--like a
reference, and/or a copyright notice, for example--or even just a
note. I mean,
\header
{
otherHeaderItem = "this or that"
}
The only field that's printed in the page header by default is the
"instrument"
(from page 2 and on). Otherwise, you have to redefine the default
layout, see
above.
