Re: Vertical Spacing
Thanks for the suggestions. I did get this to work. What prevented the new line from working is I had forgotten to take out the line: between-system-spacing = 65\mm Once this was removed it started to work. I am planning to write something for the docs once I figure out how the different numbers effect the way the spacing is calculated. At least it is working now.

Re: text formatting inside \addlyrics
Hi James,
I tried it and that's what happened; I've attached the file in case you'd
like a look at the result.
On the other hand, I can confirm that Phil Holme's idea does work -
\override LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic italic text \override LyricText
#'font-shape = #'normal

Subject: Re: text formatting inside \addlyrics
Hi Gerard,
How do I italicize a section of text inside \addlyrics?
\markup \italic { a section of text to be italicised }
I don't think that will work; that will italicize the section of text,
but the words will no longer be treated as lyrics, that is, they won't
be aligned under the notes as lyrics would be.
What would lead you to come to this conclusion?
\version "2.12.0"
\layout {
indent = #0
\context {
\Score
\remove "Bar_number_engraver"

\context {

OK, I couldn't keep away from it while I was at my son's graduation exercise. I've attached replacement code that now works for both a staff and tabstaff. One issue -- you need to explicitly set string numbers for the chord, because the glissando ends up being drawn one note pair at a time, so the string selection algorithm doesn't work. Again, it's probably a hack rather than a real solution; the real solution would find the string numbers from the first chord if it's a TabVoice and use those numbers automatically. But it's a hack that is reasonably useful.

The biggest advantage to using a separate staff for each instrument is that you can change the score order of the final product. So if your percussionist says it would be a lot easier to read if the woodblock and bass-drum lines were next to each other, it shouldn't be too much trouble for you to reorganize the final Score block at the end of your file. If you use a single staff, and you decide halfway through that you want to switch lines 3 and 4 out of 6, how will you do that? >From your posts so far, you seem willing to experiment with advanced constructs, and LilyPond's capacity for automating things is rather robust. If you're not under time pressure to produce your score, it might be fun to get your hands dirty, so to speak. On the other hand, if your score order is inflexible and you know you'll never change it, and you need to print this piece sooner than later, you could design an instrumentName markup that "lines up" perfectly with the staff lines you've laid out. - Mark ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

There is a way to accomplish this, but AFAICS it will require fundamental
changes in the format of the code.
The problem is that the context is not available during parsing, which is
when the music functions are evaluated. In order to make it work, the \new
Voice has to be replaced with some kind of (make-music 'contextSpeccedMusic
...) that will apply during the translation stage, when grobs are evaluated.
The way to do that is demonstrated in the revert-beam-setting function of
scm/beam-settings.scm. It uses ly:export, and context-spec-music, and
make-apply-context.
Now, in this case, we probably don't need to use ly:export, since we aren't
trying to change property settings. But I think we will need to use
make-apply-context, which will eventually be called with a context as an
argument.
Unfortunately, I don't have time to pursue this right now. But I'd be happy
to provide any support to you that I can.
It may be possible to create a hack that works with parser variables. That
is, we might be able to use something like the following
parserSetVoiceSymbol =
#(define-music-funtion (parser location voice-symbol) (symbol?)
(ly:parser-define! parser 'voiceSymbol voice-symbol))
then put a check in chord-glissando.ly using (ly:parser-lookup parser
'voiceSymbol)
and in your music do
<<
\new Staff {
\new Voice {
\parserSetVoiceSymbol #'Voice
\myMusicIncludingChordGlissando
}
}
\new TabStaff {
\new TabVoice {
\parserSetVoiceSymbol #'TabVoice
\myMusicIncludingChordGlissando
}
}
>>
Note: I haven't tested any of the above code, it's just an idea I had.
HTH,
Carl

If "a section of text to be italicised" is one word, it works as expected.
If it's more than one word, Lilypond makes the entire phrase into a single
lyric -- not (as Gerard implied) into something that isn't a lyric -- and
aligns the entire phrase under a single note.
The correct answer to his original question is
\override LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic a section of text to be
italicised \revert LyricText #'font-shape
Sorry for the noise.

If question is whether or not this is possible with LilyPond, I would say "Yes!", but I can't really think of any way to easily achieve the results you want.
