What version are you running? "notime" doesn't exist for the \paper block in
2.9.12.
Version 2.8.something, the current stable version. I noticed "notime"
described in section 13.5 of the documentation, but couldn't find a
dedicated entry for it anywhere else. I didn't know which block it should
go in, either.
I also tried this override:
\override staff.TimeSignature #'break-visibility = #'(#f #f #f)
but couldn't get that to compile without an error either.
Staff must be capitalized. Lilypond is case sensitive.
Sorry, I miscopied that in the email; I did in fact capitalize it in my
score. It still doesn't work. Is the syntax right, with the apostrophe
appearing after the first two # signs? Which block should the override go
in?
And is this the appropriate way to hide a time signature?

Jon W

It did not appear on the desktop (which I assume is because it did not contain an icon). An icon is never required for a file on the Desktop which is just an ordinary folder. MS Windows will just use some default icon. Besides the LP icon on the desktop, an icon My11249.. appeared. I tried dragging & dropping this on the LP icon, but only another My11249.. appeared. I went into the HDD to scare up both LP & this Welcome.. file, & dragged & dropped it onto the LP file (but obviously not the desktop icon).

Should I get LP up & working, I would be more than glad to sponser LP to the tune of 25 Euros as I have hundreds of ragged manuscripts I would love to put on Data CD's. Lilypond has no GUI interface. (Drag and drop won't work). It must be run from the command line. (Start/Run/cmd) It would take a lot more than 25 Euros to get a GUI interface written which I don't think the authors are willing to do. There are some Lilypond-friendly editors like Jedit which are GUI-based. OTOH some of us are willing to help you use Lilypond as it is. More information on running Lilypond on MS Windows can be found by searching the lilypond-user list archives.

lyrics running wider than the staff
Greetings: Since I've moved to 2.8 from 2.2, I've been having trouble with the lyrics -- the last word (syllable) of the last measure of a line frequently runs out into the right margin. At best, it's ugly. At the worst, the word is cut off when I print. I've searched the docs and the archives, but I can't seem to guess the right keywords. Is there some flag or variable I should set to get Lilypond to consider the width of the lyrics attached to notes of the melody when placing notes and breaking lines?

Re: 17th century keyboard ornament
Fairchild wrote: Peter - Tune to suit. Thanks. After some tuning, I got the desired result indeed. There are, however, some questions left. With this solution, I have to define two macros for each pitch, one for stem up and one for stem down. Besides this, the direction of the stem must be known at encoding stage. Is there a way to position the dashes relatively to the (invisible) stem, so that a more generic macro can be defined? Of course I will keep working on this myself by reading the manual and experimenting, but if someone can give me a clue, it would probably speed up. regards, Peter ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Need a link to answer how to set up percussion staves properly
Jay,
maybe this points you in the right direction using DrumStaff and/or
RhythmicStaff.
Note the layout changes I added in the layout-block.
Here you can find more details for modifications in that manner:

Re: Need a link to answer how to set up percussion staves properly
Hi, Jay:
What I keep on getting is errors about the percussion staffs
You should try to define all the different staffs consistently -- in
your case, you were using \new RhythmicStaff in both the definition
of the percussion variables (parts) and instantiation of their
respective staves (within the score).
Compare my modified version, below.
Best regards,
Kieren.
