Re: initial acciaccatura confuses things?
This bug is described in the manual in the section on grace notes, together with an explanation on how to solve the problem. /Mats Quoting Ed Ravin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I am trying to transcribe a piano piece that beings with a grace note in the lower staff. lower = \relative c, { \clef bass \key c \major \time 4/4 % e4 fs g a | \acciaccatura bf,16 bf4 d' f4 ef g8 f a g bf a c | } If I uncomment the e4 fs g a | line, then everything renders as expected. But when the first element is the acciaccatura, everything renders weird. The clefs and time signatures are drawn twice on the melody line and upper staff, the time signature (but not the clef) is drawn twice on the lower staff, and the acciaccatura on the lower staff is stretched across from one time signature to the next. What on earth is going on here?

Re: Aligning instrument names - another try
2007/8/21, Michael Käppler [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Maybe you could enhance your example by something like this: % To avoid inequal spacing if some systems start with a brace and others don't, % make all systems have braces and then optically remove the unwanted ones. That is a good idea, but it doesn't always work, since in orchestral scores, brackets are often comnibed with curly braces (besides, a curly brace on three staves doesn't have the same thickness than a curly brace on two staves, etc.)... so I just focused on the instrument names when rewriting this snippet. http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?u=1id=269 IMHO, the point is: it would be great if instrument names (or ShortInstrumentNames) could be aligned to the left of the page, regardless of what's coming on the right. I don't know if this is possible (I somehow doubt it). But the discussion isn't over...

Hi Roy! Yes, Lilypond supports tab. In the version I use (2.6.5) the guitar tab is a little limited compared to what you sometimes see for wild rock guitar solo's, but it should be effective for things that don't need advanced guitar technique. I'm not sure if the newer versions have added any more tab functions. As you mention occasional lines of guitar tab, you should be able to do it.

Re: how to combine standard and gregorian notation
Marek, I couldn't get your code to compile at all at first until I fixed a couple of simple problems. I think you need to remove the spaces within the quotes in your \include (should be \include gregorian-init.ly). Also, you've got upper-case 'S' in your first two \Score marks. This needs to be lower-case: \score Once I fixed these, it compiled okay and I could reproduce your image. I think you're having the same problem I had recently with a similar document. I eventually figured out from another post on here that somewhere in gregorian-init.ly is a property called 'packed-spacing' which is needed for gregorian notation but plays havoc with spacing in standard notation sections which come after the \include. To fix it, you need to put \override Timing.SpacingSpanner #'packed-spacing =##f into your 'standard' notation to turn this off again. Incidentally, you don't need to put the \include just before the gregorian notation. It can go anywhere in the Lily file, but I put any \includes at the top under \version so that I can see instantly which other files a .ly file is referring to. I think the first scale looks fine in your image file because it's before the \include in your file - but remember if you move the \include to the top of your Lily file, you'll need to insert the \override into the melody itself to ensure that it's always applied whenever the standard notation is referenced. If you're doing a project which switches often between gregorian and standard notation, you may find it easier to put the packed-spacing override into a \global identifier which you can then just drop into all the standard notation scores (like the ChoirStaff example in the manual).

It's also possible in Lilypond - just add the picture as an EPS markup. The syntax is: \markup { \epsfile #1 #1 #filename.eps } Also see the documentation - 8.1.6 Overview of text markup commands. If you have your image as a bitmap, Inkscape is a good piece of free software which allows you to save as .eps Hope this helps, Vivian.
