Re: vertical brackets
is there a better solution to get the vertical brackets displayed in the attached image than the code below? It's a nasty fiddling, and it breaks very easily... These vertical brackets are a special form of arpeggio; see 6.6.7 Arpeggio. I know, however, it didn't work well. ... or was your question how to get _two_ of them? Yep. I would guess that this would be relatively easy, although you might have to move the Arpeggio Engraver into the Voice context instead of a Staff. Ah, this is something I haven't considered yet.

Information on Lilypond
Hello, . I am checking out different types of music notation software. When I am trying to read about Lilypond, the language switches from English to German, and then 2 times it switched from English to French. There must be a way of setting the language so that it doesn't change frequently. I must have clicked on English more than 6 times, and it still doesn't understand that I want English. Ich mag keine Deutsch, weil spreche ich nicht gut Deutsch. There should be flags at the top of each page and then the reader could click on the appropriate flag. Once the flag is set, it shouldn't change languages until the reader clicks another flag. Thanks, Skippy in Canada PS I've used Finale for 8 years. It's very complex and hard to use. What I like to do best, is play a song on the MIDI keyboard and then have the notes appear on the screen. Then I print them. I am looking for software that will do this conveniently. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

The .ps file is just a temporary file. I wouldn't put it that way (to me it is an essential fact that lilypond does handle a *truely* reliable format -- which the PDF is not), but I totally agree too. I've introduced many people (among my family, or my pupils) to LilyPond, and they're often confused too see, when they compile their first score, many files (of unfamiliar formats) appear on their Desktop (the .ps, but also the .log when they're running windows version). So I think we should avoid anything that can confuse new users, which do not necessarily have the ability to use command-line options.

This brings my mental list of \tweak examples to three things:
1. nested tuplet brackets that begin at the same moment;
2. notes in a chord (that obviously begin at the same moment);
3. multiple text scripts (that begin at the same moment) attaching to
a single note.

Is it possible to generate guitar tab below the notation staff ?
Hi all, I've just subscribed to the *lilypond-user* list and I'd like to ask a question... I am a very beginner to the classical guitar and also to the music notation... today I struggled a lot and finally I've been able to produce the notation staff of one of the pieces we've learned to play on the guitar... what I couldn't find though on the user manual is that I'd like to have the guitar tablature generated besides the music staff... is this possible with lilypond ? and if yes, could you help me find what part of the document I have to read because there is not much in the instrument-specific notation chapter...

RE: Is it possible to generate guitar tab below the notation staff ?
Yes, LP can do guitar tab, but it might leave some rock guitarists wanting. For classical pieces it would probably be adequate (there's no support, at least in the version I use - 2.6.5 - for things like bends, hammer-ons/pull-offs, etc). Just guessing, since I've never really done any serious classical guitar work. :-) I picked up how to incorporate tabs through the users manual, so I gather for even a more recent version there's got to be a good starting point in one of the sections. But I also understand that if you are new to LP the users manual can seem intinmidating (actually any computer programming/application users guide can be that way to a novice). As is usual, I am at work and don't have any example code, but I'd be glad to send an example to you later if you are still scratching your head.LP tabulature is said by some to be a bit non-standard, but I think it does the job wonderfully, especially when paired to standard notation.

grace note leading to chord
Hi all! In a piece I am engraving with lilypond I have an acciaccatura leading to a chord. The acciaccatura should actually lead to a specific note in that chord (the highest one in my case). However, lilypond treats the chord as one unit and doesn't allow to lead the acciaccatura to one of the chord's notes. I found a partial solution by using \slurUp so that the slur leads to the highest note but I would like the slur to go down and lead to the highest note. Is this possible? If so please show me how...

This is possible, because LilyPond is completely open source. But before trying to do this, please describe what you want to do. Maybe others are interested in that way of printing chordnames, too.

new dynamic sign
Hello Everyone, I'm trying to create a new dynamic sign for 'attacco impercettibile' (this can be found for example in scores of some spectralist composers, like Gérard Grisey). This sign is supposed to be something like a striked circle, like the character ɵ or ø character, and it means something like 'zero volume', so if it's at the beginning of a crescendo, you should start playing from absolute stillness, and if it's at the end of a decrescendo, you should make the decrescendo until total still. For this, I tried the following code: zeroDyn = #(make-dynamic-script ø) This works, but the output looks quite awful, it would be better to use some other character font and/or make the character to be smaller. But if I change the ø to (for example) \roman ø, I don't get the desired result. How can I set the font type and/or size used to create the dynamic symbols with make-dynamic-script?

I think Erlend did the implementation, and it gives very good graphic control. You won't, however, be able to get the null-style slash through the circle, IIRC.
