GDP: ties
Should ties go in Rhythms or Expressive marks? Pros of 1.3.2 Curves - it makes a nice progression from ties, slurs, phrasing slurs - beginners are more likely to look for ties in here Pros of 1.2.1 Writing rhythms - ties really do effect the duration of a note, rather than providing expressive notation - beginners should have already read the tutorial, and will therefore know the difference between ties and slurs. If they haven't read the tutorial, we officially Do Not Care (tm) about them, so that negates the advantages of Expressive marks. As always, you can see the docs here: http://web.uvic.ca/~gperciva/ Cheers, - Graham ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
GDP: changing automatic notation
Currently, we have 3 Changing defaults * 3.1 Automatic notation o 3.1.1 Automatic accidentals o 3.1.2 Setting automatic beam behavior * 3.2 Interpretation contexts Should we keep the material 3.1 in here, or move it into Pitches and Rhythms? I'm currently leaning towards moving it to Pitches and Rhythms. If we had more material to stick in here, it would make more sense. But with only two entries, and with the general let's gather up everything to do with pitches together, moving this stuff earlier makes more sense. Anybody disagree?

I think I'd go for curves, for the reasons given above, but I'm not sure. Ties certainly are NOT expressive marks... So if the approach is that a user is supposed to sit down with the ToC and logically maneuvre through the headings, it should probably be under rhythms. I'd probably just search for Ties in the pdf file, so in that sense, it doesn't matter that much, as long as there is a link from one place to the other. eyolf -- This Fremen religious adaptation, then, is the source of what we now recognize as The Pillars of the Universe, whose Qizara Tafwid are among us all with signs and proofs and prophecy. They bring us the Arrakeen mystical fusion whose profound beauty is typified by the stirring music built on the old forms, but stamped with the new awakening. Who has not heard and been deeply moved by The Old Man's Hymn? I drove my feet through a desert Whose mirage fluttered like a host. Voracious for glory, greedy for danger, I roamed the horizons of al-Kulab, Watching time level mountains In its search and its hunger for me. And I saw the sparrows swiftly approach, Bolder than the onrushing wolf. They spread in the tree of my youth. I heard the flock in my branches And was caught on their beaks and claws! -- from Arrakis Awakening by the Princess Irulan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
MacOS version shows no menu under Leopard
I installed 10.5, and now there is no menu -- needless to say, this makes working with lilypnd a bit awkward ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
No lyrics for first 8 bars
Hopefully a simple question...I have a jazz lead sheet with melody, chords and lyrics. However the first 8 bars are an introduction without lyrics. The only way I have managed to achieve this is in \lyricmode is by counting the number of notes and inserting the same number of underscores (_ _ _ etc). This seems very inelegant. Is there not a better way of instructing the lyrics to start only at bar 9? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/No-lyrics-for-first-8-bars-tf4704263.html#a13446569 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: No lyrics for first 8 bars
There are - at least - two ways.
The quick and dirty one is to substitute the _ _ _ by \repeat unfold
20 { \skip 1 }
(where 20 should be the number of notes).
The more elegant way can be found here:

(I myself always use the first way :-/)

I wish to print large noteheads with easyHeads, i.e. CDEFGAB inside the note heads for beginners. I need to first make the spacing between the staff lines wider. How do I do this? Set Staff Size does not seem to change the spacing between the lines. Then I need to specify the note head size, by \set fontSize? The \setEasyHeads command seems to make the note head size small again. I would be very grateful if you can provide an example. Thank you very much indeed.
