If you are going to transcribe pieces with multiple voices, I would
recommend to use explicit "Voice" contexts.
You'll find here attached files showing how I organize the code.
I've entered the first bar of your example. And you'll quite
obviously be able to go on from there.

Re: help! need an example
Here is a piece of code that should give you ideas. Try compile it.
I did not finished the second line but you should have gotten the idea.
To have proper slurs between all the notes in the chords, use the "multi
voice" entering mode which is something like that :
<< { a4( b4) } \\ { f4( g4) } >>
instead of
4( 4)
Enjoy.

Re: skip -- What am I missing?
Quoting Geoff Horton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I hope you have read the manual for version 2.7, since it contains several clarifications compared the the earlier version. I haven't because I've been reluctant to move up to 2.7. Is it stable enough to use for regular production work? The next stable version 2.8 is planned to appear any day now, so it should be. Also, the new manual is mostly relevant also for version 2.6 of the program, so it's recommended reading anyway. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

bc vertical alignment
Hi, I've been typesetting a small cantata by Bach recently and the way figured bass now works (i.e. version 2.7.2x, windows) is really annoying. Manual says: "When using continuation lines, common figures are always put in the same vertical position." but for me this seemed to happen even when not using continuation lines... How can I turn this off? I would much more like to do the vertical alignment manualy, but I cannot find out how to insert a vertical space in the figures.

Re: skip -- What am I missing?
I hope you have read the manual for version 2.7, since it contains
several clarifications compared the the earlier version.
For example, in Sect. 7.3.5 Flexibility in alignment, it says
"For every \skip, the text will be delayed another note."
A better solution to your situation is illustrated in the last
example in Sect. "7.3.8 More stanzas".

Re: lyric spacing : "why not follow instructions in manual"
Geoff said: You're saying you didn't see any effect even with #10? Because I got a huge, huge difference in my test file with that. I'm also using 2.6.4, so maybe this is something that's changed in the update. (I'm not going to break a working system just to experiment.) Fr. P says: Aha. It works it 2.6.5. I'd have been using that, but I really like the way the deciduous note stems in 2.7. Your method is better than what is described in the manual at section 7.3.7.1, since it can be applied *once* and will affect all problematic lyrics while exerting minimal effect on note-spacing in general, in melismata, etc. Maybe your method will work in the stable 2.7 and maybe your it will get a place in the manual.

Re: lyric spacing : "why not follow instructions in manual"
Thank you very much, but it doesn't seem to work for me.
See anything wrong with the file below? I'm using 2.7.36
Also, (I realized after I wrote the post in question) this will add padding
to *every word. While that's better than adding padding to every note, it's
not quite as good as slightly increasing the minimum permissible space
between words. Any ideas in that direction would be appreciated.

PS. Could I simply replace

\override Lyric.SeparationItem
(or something) and put it with the lyrics?
You can add
\context {
\Lyrics
\override SeparationItem #'padding = #10
}
to your layout block, and it will affect the output. (Obviously 10 is
way too big, but I did that to be sure it's having an effect.)

Re: Order of the staves
I think the problem is that you have surrounded all the staves by a
GrandStaff. If you look at the program reference for GrandStaff, you
will learn that it can only contain Staff contexts, by default.
Even though it's possible to change this default definition of
GrandStaff, but if I recall correctly, it's still not possible
to get nested curly braces in version 2.6. However, in version 2.7
(and the next stable release 2.8, which will appear any week) it
should be possible to do it, see the NEWS file for version 2.7.

1.
If I generate an EPS file it generates alot of white emty space at the top
of the document. So when I open the EPS file in word there is a lot of
emty space between my text and the image. Here is a example of a file
converted to EPS:
---

}

}
}

\set Staff.midiInstrument = "acoustic guitar (nylon)"
\key a \minor
\clef "G_8"

}
guitartab = \context TabStaff = "guitartab" {

\override Stem #'transparent = ##t

}
\score {

}

and eps.pdf) I do not use these files...
