Re: between-system-space does not work with lilypond-book
Right! When you use lilypond-book, each system of the score is typeset as a
separate .eps file that is then included in the LaTeX document using
\includegraphics. You can easily change the spacing using something like:
\newcommand{\betweenLilyPondSystem}[1]{\\[10mm]\noindent}
before \begin{document}. Note that the 10mm here will correspond to
between-system-padding rather than between-system-space.

Re: chord name size
Depends on your age, eyesight and the type of score too. For a simple fake book lead sheet I like things big so that I can read it better in a dark room at a distance, or at times when I'll have a cheat sheet on the floor at my feet while performing something I have not fully memorized. As for the # symbol I'm using a chord names exceptions list that I can fully customize, for example I also like to see the tensions 5, b5, #5, 7, 9, b9, #9, 11, #11, 13, etc. stacked vertically like Hal Leonard Publishing has been doing for a while now, this reduces the amount of horizontal space needed to show chords that have a lot of named tensions. I just unconditionally always use my exceptions list now which works pretty good. eyolf wrote: On Wed 25 October 2006 10:04, Paul Scott wrote: David Bobroff wrote: David Bobroff wrote: I would like to alter the size of printed chord names.

RE: Aligning instrument names
Many thanks, Thies
Your suggestion works perfectly for left-aligning instrument
names, and it is certainly simpler than my best effort!
With hspace 1 or 2 larger than the longest name and 1 larger
again for staves which are outside any bracket or brace the
left alignment (for the default font at least) is almost
perfect.

Hi Trevor!
This is somewhat arcane - anyone found a better way?
\set Staff.instrument=\markup {
\override #'(baseline-skip . 0)
\left-align { \column { \transparent
A Solo } }
}
Here's what I do (I hope I'll remember correctly
as I can't find a file containing it right now):
\set Staff.instrument = \markup {
\combine
\hspace #5.0
My Instrument
}
You can easily adjust the space by changing 5.0.

Re: utf-8
Due to my clumsiness, I sent a message erroneously to answer your reply to a query I made in last August concerning the same problem (as well as another problem which I have solved meanwhile). As you may have read in the message I sent just a few minutes ago, I solved the problem by using notepad after having tried out your kind suggestion about using C-x RET f (and then type utf-8). I also tried your other suggestion that you say worked on an old emacs version, but that didn't work either. My nth installment of XEmacs is XEmacs 21.4 (patch 19) which cannot be said to be old. But now I noticed that, if I open the text file of Notepad in Xemacs, the utf-8 for the accent circonflexe appears to have completely changed its appearance. The weird thing is that, if I type the letter â (a with an accent circonflexe) in an Emacs file it appears exactly as I want it. But if I open a notepad text file that contains an â in in XEmacs, I obtain the capital letter A capped by an ~ and flanked by a cross between an o and a ç. Whatever the case may be, all is not well. dubcek Mats Bengtsson-4 wrote: Open the file in Emacs, press CTRL-x Return f and enter: utf-8 You should see a -u at the bottom left corner of the window. Then, the next time you save the file, it should be in UTF-8. This didn't work for me the first time I tried it, since I had an old .emacs file that changed some of the default settings. What helped then (as a temporary fix until I had cleaned up my .emacs file) was Meta-x toggle-enable-multibyte-characters. /Mats Quoting dubcek [EMAIL PROTECTED]: For about a year now.

Re: slurs at breaks are wrongly influenced by rehearsal marks
FYI, this bug also happens on volta brackets that continue or start at a new
system. The beginning of the volta bracket is pushed to the right by the
mark. This is exasperated by the fact that very often it is necessary to
put a To CODA mark at the beginning of first endings. In this very
frequent (pop music) case the volta bracket correctly ignores the coda mark
if it is starting in mid-system but if the coda mark and volta start happen
to occur at the beginning of a new system, the coda is pushing the volta
around so it looks like the alternate ending is beginning in mid-measure.
I've been coding around this by forcing my voltas to never start a system,
as I did not realize it was a bug, so feel free to add this too.

\override RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #left

A solution could be to disable breaks at rehearsalmarks with simultaneous
slurs, but that's something you want to avoid in a more complex score.
Is there another solution for this problem, or is it a bug?

Breathe sign in lyrics messes up line spacing
Hi, A while ago, I posted to this list about how to include a breathing sing into the lyrics (not into the staff), and Mats gave me the solution: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2005-11/msg00532.html However, I'm still fighting with the issue (in lilypond 2.8.7), because that solution causes a rather large margin below that one lyrics line (it seems that for the calculation of line spacing the \raise is simply ignored). Is there any solution to this?

Wishlist for Guitar (or string) features (newbie!)
Hi,
I dont know if I should be saying this in this forum, but I have a wish list for guitar related stuff. I am just a newbie and still trying to get a hold of the syntax but I have found some stuff that is a bit lacking in the guitar arena. Or maybe is not documented clearly? Maybe this is because guitarists have avoided using lilypond and thus not enough development (I know you guys are over worked as it is) I dont know.
But stuff I would like to see in lilypond
Hammer-On's
Pull-Off's
Slides (maybe another way of doing it inside lilypond but I havent found it)
Tablature related:
I know the chord features inside tab arent great. But would it be possible to define a tab chord and place it inside tab? For example:
\tabchord Aminor a:m 6,x 5,0 4,2 3,2 2,1 1,0
So Aminor is the chordname we use for inside the tab
a:m is the note and major / minor
6,x 5,0 4,2 3,2 2,1 1,0 is the six strings in the guitar (EADGBE)
6,x (string, fret to be played (x not played 0 is open)
\new TabStaff
{ Aminor:8 AminorAminor etc etc}
it may be a bit messy but it seems logical? Maybe?
So I hope this makes sense and please excuse my ignornance if this is done some other way. I think I might have to get a LilyPond Guitar FAQ together as additional to the tutorial. There are a LOT of guitarists out there and really this is a far better tool then I have seen that isfor Linux/Win32/Mac environments.
Thoughts and comments?
