"sliding" chords
Hi! Is it possible with LilyPond to display chord changes like "D4 -3" instead of "D4 D3" or "G -7" instead of "G G7"? Yours, Olivier Berten ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Moving a hairpin horizontally
Hi Peter,
You make this look right now, e.g., by
<< c1 \\ {s2\< s4. \! s8} >>
... which is both musically incorrect AND unnecessarily awkward to
code. ;-)
This is really something that Lilypond SHOULD handle more gracefully.
Even my suggested fix -- which would be superior to the current
workaround(s) -- is flawed, since it would only LOOK like the dynamic
started/ended in a different spot (i.e., it would not likely fix the
MIDI performance problem).
Best regards,
Kieren.

Lilypond & Ubuntu
I am struggling to get Lilypond even running in the latest Ubuntu. It seems to have downloaded and extracted in a Lilypond folder but I cannot find a way to run it - even in terminal by typing Lilypond. Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated. I have used this some months ago on a colleagues pc and it looked superb, exactly what I need for scoring music written for our church. Thanks in anticipation..

Dynamics and kerning
I find the kerning of dynamics unsatisfactory, indeed I'm not sure that it's happening at all. ff is spaced too wide, with visible daylight between the f's; mp is squashed too close together. These pairs are the worst; pp, sf, fz look okay. Is this a characteristic of the font? If so, is there a way of changing the default dynamics font? Or has it got something to do with this statement in the user manual, 1.8.2.1: "Kerning or generation of ligatures is only done when the TeX backend is used. In this case, LilyPond does not account for them so texts will be spaced slightly too wide." How does one "use the TeX backend", assuming that's the problem? As is no doubt obvious, I understand very little of this. [Lilypond 2.11.45, WinXP] ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Lilypond & Ubuntu
How exactly did you extract Lilypond? If you have downloaded the shell script (lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh) and run it as root, it should now be installed in /usr/local/. It is possible that /usr/local/bin is not in your path. What happens when you try: $ /usr/local/bin/lilypond I am using Lilypond on Ubuntu and I have never had problems running it. 2008/5/13 Peter Gifford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I am struggling to get Lilypond even running in the latest Ubuntu.

Re: Lilypond & Ubuntu
Lilypond was one of the first things I installed when I did a fresh Ubuntu 8.04 upgrade. It worked fine immediately for me, and I think all I did was run the script (not as sudo--probably should have) by double-clicking the script's icon and choosing "run" when asked what it wanted me to do with the file. I've had no problems with it. I've also installed Lilypond using Add/Remove programs or synaptic, but the Ubuntu repository has a pretty old version so it's probably best to download and install yourself.

Lyric braces?
Hi, how do I create braces within lyrics to clarify that two lines of text belong to the same verse (see textbrace1.jpg) or when there´s a part of lyrics which belongs to all verses (see textbrace2.jpg)?

But if I use Lilypond for publication purposes I'll have to adopt solutions of the kind you suggested. -Kim ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
