Web-layout: Examples in the documentation
Hi, just saw that the examples page doesn't have yet the new layout. It would be nice if there would also a contents where it would be much easier to see what examples are available. I hope this is no big work. Also it appeared to me that it would be nice to have some examples of ancient music. At least the headword from the ancient section could be here, when the spacing issue is solved.

Re: problems with learning lilypond
o) Each page is layed out separately, so that the staff for one instrument continues at a completely different position on the next page. This makes reading full scores (and trying to follow one instrument) while conducting almost impossible I disagree. This is the *normal* situation for traditional full scores. Just take, for example, an opera from Richard Strauss. Facing pages virtually *never* have the same vertical positions of staff lines, even if the used instruments are the same. However, such an option would be useful in some situations. Werner ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

partcombine will also never create a note with two stems, but rather always
combine it to one note. Also, in printed scores, part-combination is mostly
done on a measure-base rather than per note.
the partcombiner is severely limited and should probably be written
from scratch again.

automatic Beam positions
Dear lilyponders, the Beam positions can be tweaked by \override Beam #'positions = #'(a . b) Is it possible to tell LilyPond that the difference between a and b should automatically not be greater than 1. For my taste LilyPond spreads the ends to far away from each other but I don't want to fix every time it happens manually. regards, Tao -- Pt! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?

Page numbering position
How do I change the position of page numbers so that they are on one side, instead of the default alternating page numbering? Alternating page numbers are annoying when the music is printed on one side of the page. -- Siddharth Patil PGP Key ID: 0x8E1CE870 ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I'm sure there's a way, but adjusting the beam damping
is easier, for example: \override Beam #'damping = #4
The individual slope still depends on the interval
between the end notes, but you can probably find a
value that suits you the majority of the time. The
default value is 1, and setting it to +inf.0 gives
flat beams every time. See the test file below and the
attached png.
Hope this helps.

Re: left-margin
Quoting Keith Weintraub [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Folks,
I am using version 2.10.33 on Mac OS X, Leopard.
There are good reasons to upgrade to the latest development version
2.11, which soon should turn into the next stable version 2.12.
I can't seem to get left-margin to work. In addition when I change
the line width the header width doesn't change.
According to
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Page-formatting
left-margin should be set in the \paper{...} block, whereas you have
set it in a \layout{...} block.

You have several confusing and/or conflicting settings. The paper size settings, \paper and \layout interact unexpectedly. When you move the second set-default-paper-size and set-global-staff-size to the front (and/or remove the unneeded lines), and move the contents of \layout to \paper everything should work as expected. -- Johan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Using the 'avoid-slur property
Hello,
I am trying to modify the 'avoid-slur property for various grobs, but
Fingering is one of the few grobs that I've had success with.
According to the Internals Reference, DynamicText and TextScript
support 'avoid-slur. Is there anything I'm doing wrong in the
following example?
%% BEGIN %%
\version 2.11.64
\new Staff \relative c' {
\slurDown
%% changed from the default setting
\override DynamicText #'avoid-slur = #'inside
g2( g' \sf
g,1)
}
\new Staff \relative c' {
\slurDown
%% changed from 'around
\override TextScript #'avoid-slur = #'inside
g2( g'_Test
g,1)
}
%% Only this example works
\new Staff \relative c' {
\slurDown
%% changed from 'around
\override Fingering #'avoid-slur = #'outside
g2( g'_1
g,1)
}
%% END %%
Thanks,
Patrick
