None!
The kind of solution you had tried works well, but you have to be
careful about the
syntax. For example, it looks as if you used some slanted quote instead
of a straight quote.
Something like
\header{
title = \markup { \override #'(font-name . MetaPro-Bold) Title } }
}
should work better.
If you want to change all fonts of the document, read about

Changing the spacing between two staves
Hi,
I would like to decrease the space between the staves a little bit. I tried:

But this did not change anything. Only if I change the value to 0 all staves

Changing the paper size
Hi,
now I would like to change the paper size to:
width 118mm
height 210mm
left margin 10mm
right margin 10mm
top and bottom margin should stay.
I have entered:
\paper {
leftmargin = 10 \mm
rightmargin = 10 \mm
hsize = 118\mm
vsize = 210\mm
}
and I have:
\layout {
indent = 0 \mm
linewidth = 98 \mm
}
The staves now have the desired with, but the page is still A4 (I guess).
The title is not centered above the staves but centered on the page.
What is wrong?

Re: Changing the spacing between two staves
I hope you have read the section on Fitting music onto fewer pages in
the manual.
Also, always tell what LilyPond version you are using, when asking
questions .
The spacing of systems is one aspect that has been significantly
reworked in the
development version 2.11.x, for example.

Moving breathe sign
Greetings -
Just when I think I get the hang of it, bam.
I'm running LilyPond 2.10.16 under Windows XP Pro SP2.
Thanks to Mats Bengtsson and Bertalan Fodor for their help with two
notehead sizes in one chord.
Now, in the same measure, actually, I'm trying to move a breathe sign,
and having no luck. Here's a snippet:
++ Begin Snippet +
\version 2.10.16
\paper {
ragged-right = ##t
}
Breathe = {
\key d \minor
\clef alto
\time 2/2
c'4 c' c' c' |
\once \override BreathingSign #'extra-offset = #'(0.0 . 5.0)
b8[\breathe b] c' c ( d e fis gis e) |
}
\score {
\Breathe
}
+++ End Snippet
I've tried BreathingSign, Score.BreathingSign, Voice.BreathingSign, and
Staff.BreathingSign with #'extra-offset and #'padding in each possible
combination, and none of them makes any visible effect. I've also tried
using \override without \once, to no effect. I've also tried using
\tweak with#'extra-offset and with #'padding immediately before
\breathe, also with no effect.
Any suggestions for what to try next?
I'm grateful to everyone from the LilyPond community for all their help
and support and for the excellent product. I used to really like .abc,
and recently looked at some of my output, and realized that, although
.abc's simplicity is a big pro, LilyPond's output and flexibility are
wonderful. Thanks again.

Re: Moving breathe sign
I always first try a property setting without the \once keyword to see
that it works.
If you do that in your example below, you will notice that your property
setting
indeed works as it should. The only problem is that a setting done with
\once ...
only applies to the next object, so if you insert it before the note
before the breating
sign, it only applies to the note, where it of course doesn't have any
effect.
Just move your \once \override to be directly before the \breathe and it
should
work well.
I understand perfectly well why you placed your \once \override where
you did,
since that's the correct solution when you want to move an articulation,
a text script,
a slur or a dynamic indication, for example. The reason is that all
these are connected
to a specific note and happen simultaneously with the note, whereas
the breathe sign
is handled as a separate object, just like clefs or time signatures or
..., that happen
between the notes.
Tricky indeed!

Re: many short pieces - page breaks

\layout {

will suppress all page-breaks within each score. The only problem then is,
if there are nothing but scores, there is no place left to put breaks: lily
will not recognize _between scores_ as a special case. This is solved by
adding something other than scores, namely markup, between scores. The
markup text can be null, thus:

RE: Moving breathe sign
Mats -
My thanks and my apologies to you! I thought I had tried all
permutations, including the example snippet without the \once.
I used the \once \override before the note because I thought (just as
you surmised) that \once \override covered the next musical moment, and
that (since \breathe came directly after the note) the breathe sign was
attached to the note. I do not know which objects are attached and which
are not, so I'll try both in the future.
Thanks again,
Ralph

In the latest development release 2.11.25, there is support for page break commands to be inserted between two scores or between a score and a markup or whatever. Good point. I have 2.11.25. I saw that explicit page breaks are now allowed at top level, which is why I revisited this. I don't want to force breaks, though: I want to allow them, between scores, and forbid them, within scores. As of 2.11.25, what I said is still true: though you can put an explicit break between scores, lily will not automatically consider between scores as a possible break point distinct from at the end of this score which I have forbidden with the rest. The \markup trick works, though. I believe a future version may have a command \allowPageBreak, along with \pageBreak and \noPageBreak. If it also operates at top level, it will be a more natural way to accomplish the same thing. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/many-short-pieces---page-breaks-tf2103365.html#a10784973 Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

RE: Connecting Bar Lines With ChoirStaff
Thanks. There appears to be a contradiction: 6.4.5 Bar Lines In scores with many staves, a \bar command in one staff is automatically applied to all staves. The resulting bar lines are connected between different staves of a StaffGroup, PianoStaff, or ChoirStaff. The last sentence should probably be changed to See 6.4.7 System Start Delimiters for examples of the different handling of bar lines for GrandStaff, StaffGroup, and ChoirStaff. Should probably add PianoStaff to the page as well.

Try Canorus version 2.5, the 3.0 is indeed buggy (windows Qt problem, I guess). This is the best way I could recommend; besides, Canorus is being actively developed; think we should see pre-1.0 versions relatively soon (I'd say in about a year or so).
