Re: OOoLilyPond and LilyPond 2.8
Samuel,
Got around to trying your 2.8 templates and they seem to work great! This
meets a need I had recently encountered and will be a handy tool for me at
least. Thanks for sharing it!

Guitar finger instructions - Glissando for nonadjacent notes
Hi I wonder if there is a possibility in Lilypond to reproduce the fingering instructions as seen in the attached measures - notes that are not adjacent should be connected with a glissando line.

Re: To hide a time signature
Mats, If you search the index of the manual for "transparent objects", "removing objects", "hiding objects" or "invisible objects" you will find a link to some more information on the "transparent" property in the manual. Thanks. I don't know how I missed that before. \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t As is explained in the manual, this will not do exactly the same thing as your previous solution, since the transparent time signature will still occupy some space (which is usually not desirable for this situation). Good point. So my original solution, or Kieren's, was probably best. Marcus ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

RE: Literature?
Greetings, Stewart - I have a book on notation which covers a lot of ground, and which I can highly recommend: Music notation, a manual of modern practice. Read, Gardner. Boston, Crescendo Publishers, 1972. ISBN : 087597080X. The book is the most thorough I've seen, goes deeply into various aspects of notation, and is quite readable. I used to do a lot of hand notating, and I found the book valuable. LilyPond does a good job of documenting the process of notation, but I still refer back to Read frequently, usually either to clarify something in LilyPond or to clarify something I come across in music I'm currently playing. I still enjoy notating by hand, and regard it as a valuable skill for a musician.

BUT, now I notice something I didn't see before. At the bottom of the list

"transparent": That sounds awfully familiar! It's wonder I couldn't see it

Seeing as "grobs" are ubiquitous in Lilypond (judging from, e.g., the list
at the bottom of
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/grob_002dinterface.html
), I imagine I won't have too much trouble the next time I want to hide
something.
(My "stencil" query remains unresolved, but it's not so pressing.)

And why isn't it mentioned on: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/TimeSignature.html ? That's a very good question, which I forward to bug-lilypond. If you click on "grob-interface", you will notice that stencil is listed among the "Internal properties", which probably explains why it isn't listed on the main page of the graphical object. I don't think this is a good idea, since we already have a number of examples in the manual, Tips&Tricks and LSR that involves redefining stencil and as the documentation is generated now, it's for example impossible to figure out what the default value of stencil is for a given object, unless you look in scm/define-grobs.scm /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
