Re: Two lyrics extender problems

Arvid, you rock!!! The "" worked (the _ did not, nor did __.) So the question now is, is there a bug in LilyPond that doesn't terminate the extender, or is that a standard thing we need to be aware of? Any brilliant ideas for why the extender doesn't appear for the last soprano word? Btw, the log file does give me a warning for that line: "warning: unterminated extender". Which is kind of ironic, since it's not drawing anything at all :-) Oh, I did just try Arvid's terrific little "" tip [thee. __ ""] to see if that might force the extender, but nope, didn't do anything, still got the warning in the log and no extender at all. I did also try moving the slur from the first F to the final F before the E, and that didn't help either. Worse case, I just use a pen to mark up the master before the copies are made!

Re: instrument names for GrandStaff, etc.
Hi, Marcus:
Just a quick suggestion. Why not let a GrandStaff have an
instrumentName
(and a shortInstrumentName), just like a Staff and a PianoStaff
already do?
Just in case you don't know, you can always add this feature to your
own scores with
\context
{
\GrandStaff
\consists "Instrument_name_engraver"
}
For more information, see the example at .
Cheers,
Kieren.

instrument names for GrandStaff, etc.
Hi, Just a quick suggestion. Why not let a GrandStaff have an instrumentName (and a shortInstrumentName), just like a Staff and a PianoStaff already do? Instrument names could even be allowed for a ChoirStaff or a StaffGroup, though I imagine the need to use it in those cases would be less common. As I see it, any group of staves should be able to be named, as a group, with the name appearing to the left of the vertical midpoint between the two (or more) staves. Also, whether these extra instrumentNames are implemented sooner or later, I think the documentation should explain which ones are available. These are the sections where such an explanation would seem to be most helpful: 8.2.5 Instrument names http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond/Instrument-names.html 6.4.7 System start delimiters http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond/System-start-delimiters.html 2.17 Piano staves http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond/Piano-staves.html Cheers, Marcus ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
