RE: MultiMeasureRest - trying to be clever ...
Thanks Graham. The section I needed was 9.2.6 (I think 9.2.3 simply describes what I said I'd tried to do...) And no disrespect, but I think Thibault is spot on with his first sentence. The lilypond documentation is the size of a small novel! Finding what you're looking for isn't easy. And I know it's small comfort to you on the lily list, but I'm on a list where questions are often answered with it's in the manual. Thing is, that manual is maybe 20 volumes, MOST of which are individually bigger than the lily manual. The problem is that if you keep the manual small you have to leave things out, if you put everything in people can't see the wood for the trees. What do you do?

baroque-like “scordatura”
Thanks for your response! Regards marino Hi there! First, let me congratulate you all for your so successful efforts. Then, one questions: Is it possible to align vertically two key accidentals? It would be useful to write correctly a baroque-like “scordatura” (with \set Staff.keySignature = #'); in my particular case, a violin piece should begin with an A Major key signature, and at the same time I should neutralize every key sharp with a lower octave – vertically aligned flat: so that the 5th line sharp would be vertically aligned to a 1st space flat, and so on. If it were possible, the flat put to neutralize the 3rd space sharp should have the c’ ledger line; again: is it workable? Thank you for your help, and thanks again for your great job.

Now I know that Lilypond is Open Source, and a very fine piece of software at that, as are many other open source projects. But I believe that there comes a point when the quality of open source becomes hard to regulate, especially when everything is free.

Clarifying otave check (\octave) in Section 6.2.2
I am exploring the use of the feature described in section 6.2.2 of
checking that the notes are in the correct octave.
The manual says:
Octave checks make octave errors easier to correct: a note may be followed by
=quotes which
indicates what its absolute octave should be. In the following example,
\relative c { c= b= d,= }
the d will generate a warning, because a d'' is expected (because b' to d'' is
only a third), but
a d' is found. In the output, the octave is corrected to be a d'' and the next
note is calculated
relative to d'' instead of d'.
Question
Specifing ' is fine for octaves above middle C, but specifying , for octave
below doesnt work.
Here is a test program:
\version 2.8.3
\score {
\new Staff
\relative c''' {
c b a g f e d
% should now have reached the C above middle C
c='' b a g f e d
% should now have reached Middle C
c=' b a g f e d
% should now have reached the C below Middle C
% Problemhow can I check if the next c is
% The C one octave below middle C?
c= b a g f e d
c=, b a g f e d % this doesnt work
}
\layout { }
}
Error:
octavecheck.ly:20:6: warning: octave check failed; expected c', found: c,
c=, b a g f e d

I have made some clarification on the \octave directive
I have been struggling to understand the documentation of \octave
in section 6.2.2 (Lilypond 2.8.3 documentation - PDF file page 85)
The key to how this works is if the following sentence is reworded:
This checks that pitch (without quotes) yields pitch (with quotes) in
\relative mode. If not,
a warning is printed, and the octave is corrected.
I have a suggestion for the documentaion. Change the above sentence to
read
This checks that pitch (without quotes) yields pitch (with quotes) in
\relative mode
compared to the note given in the \relative directive.
I thought the \octave was referred to the absolute octave if you
referred to Middle C as c'
I hope this suggestion helps.
Now I am using the The \octave directive to make sure I am in the
correct octave.
\version 2.8.3
