Thank you for your help, I thought I might need to change the settings

I did get a chance to look through the chapters you mentioned, but
couldn't really find anything that would change the settings back for
the feathered beams. I'm not sure exactly what it is I should be
typing. Sorry if it's obvious, but I'm not seeing it. I will keep
trying different things though.
The documentation of the feathered beams says that you get them by
setting a certain property. This implies that you should revert that setting
to get back to ordinary beams. The general principles for setting and
reverting
properties are described in the sections Graham refered to. So, to get
back to
ordinary beams, just insert a
\revert Beam #'grow-direction
If you only want a single feathered beam, this also means that you can
use the
\once \override feature, see my example below.
I realize why you were mislead by the example in the manual, since the
property setting and the use of the function \featherDurations are two
completely different things. The following example illustrates the
concepts more in detail. I will include this example in LSR and also
make a small change to the example in the manual to reduce the risk of
confusion.

I'm trying to tweak the spacing code, and I've come across a case where I'm not sure what to do. In the attached example, I have a note followed by a clef change followed by a bar line.

Page breaking to get only full pages
Hi all, can I get lilypond to automatically break pages in such a way that only full pages are created? For example, if the piece gets 1 1/2 pages long with optimal-page-breaking, lilypond decides whether to compress everything on 1 page or expand it to 2 pages?

Re: several short pieces with scored titles
I have just added the following explanation and example to the LSR.
Hopefully
it answers your question as well.
By default, only the piece and opus fields from the \header{...} block
are typeset above each separate score, if you have multiple \score{...}
blocks in your input file. As is mentioned in the manual, you can change
this by setting the paper variable printallheaders, so that the full
title is printed over each score. The corresponding \header{...} block
should then be included within the corresponding \score{...} block,
otherwise you will get an additional title (the title for the full book)
above the first individual score title. This example shows how to get
rid of the extra book level title. Note that a top level \header{...}
block is useful if some titling information is the same for all scores
and you do not want to repeat the information several times in the input
file.
\header{
composer = "The One and Only"
}
\score{
{c' d' e' f'}
\header{
title = "First piece"
}
}
\score{
{c' d' e' f'}
\header{
title = "Second piece"
}
}
\paper{
printallheaders=##t
bookTitleMarkup = ##f
}

Re: several short pieces with scored titles
I need to put a title with a score for several short pieces. Several pieces
can
fit on one page. I am able to put a score within a title at the top of the
page
but can't do it for pieces that are not at the top the page.
I 'm not sure i understand all of the above but here is a solution which
seems to work.
(I hope it is what you wanted) :
\version "2.10.25"
\paper{
printallheaders=##t
}
tuning = \markup {
\score {
\new Staff
\with { \remove Time_signature_engraver }
{ d' }
\layout { ragged-right = ##t }
}
}
\score
{
{ a a a a }
\header {
subtitle = "D"
subsubtitle = \markup { \tuning } }
}
tuning = \markup {
\score {
\new Staff
\with {\remove Time_signature_engraver}
{ e''}
\layout { ragged-right = ##t }
}
}
\score
{
{ a a a a }
\header {
subtitle = "E"
subsubtitle = \markup { \tuning } }
}
%
I only add :
- printallheaders=##t
-a score block for each score
-the \header section seems to need to be after the notes datas.

Thank you so much, I had tried that before, but it didn't work (both the \once and the \revert Beam) I must have mistyped it.
I am now having trouble with the barcheck. How do I keep it all in one quarter note? Do I need to do a "\times 7/8 { ... } "? first?
Thanks,

Right, you have to scale the durations, since the total duration
of the beamed notes will not change. However, if you use
\times 8/7{...}, then you will get a tuplet indication, which you
don't want. I'd rather scale the duration of each note, using
bes32*8/7\p\>[ ges d' bes, c' ges
which gives the same scaling of the durations but without the
tuplet indication.

Padding around instrument names
Hi all, again a question I'd be very happy to helped with. If I add padding around instrument names, LilyPond doesn't care if the names are inside the margins.

Re: Padding around instrument names
Your observation is absolutely correct, so unfortunately you have to manually adjust the "indent" parameter (or the linewidth) to fit the instrument names. /Mats Michael Käppler wrote: Hi all, again a question I'd be very happy to helped with.

page breaks within measures
Hi, I'm a first time poster - I've been trying to use Lilypond for proportionally notating multi-tempo music. I'm writing a score that has two or more voices in different tempi simultaneously. To solve this, I make a huge measure. For example, the first staff will contain a minute of quarter notes at q=90 BPM. The second staff will contain a minute of quarter notes at q=167 BPM. The second staff has the same time as the first, but I compress the music in a 90:167 ratio so that it all lines up correctly in time. The problem comes with layout. Currently, I make a huge page, and then split it into parts using acrobat pro. It seems however that there is a maximum page width of about 200 inches. So the amount of time I have to play with is limited by the page size. Alternatively, it would be nice to slice the staff system through the middle of the measures, but I have been unable to force a page break because the staves have independent, non-aligned bars. Does anyone know how to a) infinitely increase the paper width or b) force a page break in a system containing staves with independent, non-aligned bars? Best regards, Adam Wilson ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
