Re: Shrinking beams along with noteheads
nachkan wrote: I am simply trying to explicitly write out a glissando in small notes (of a specified size), while keeping the rhythmic notation accurate. They happen to be 64th notes, so they have four beams connecting the stems. It is easy enough to make the noteheads the desired size with e.g. \override NoteHead #'font-size = #-2. However, I cannot figure out how to make the beams smaller as well - which is a fairly big deal when you have four beams. I see that I can make the beam lines themselves thinner by writing e.g. \override Beam #'thickness = #0.35, but they are still spaced the same distance apart as they normally would be. I cannot find any reference to any variable or property which modifies the distance (or gap) between the beams (the Beam object's gap property, while sounding promising, seems to do nothing) - if I could, this problem would be solved. What I am looking for is essentially the same as what \grace does, but the notation it creates is too small for me, and I want to be able to set the size to somewhere in between grace note size and normal note size. I thought this would be a common enough problem but after hours of searching the internet, the lilypond docs, and these forums, I haven't been able to find a solution. Is there some way to modify the beam spacings in this way? Is there some way to alter the \grace command to produce the desired effect? Or any other way of approaching this problem? I don't mind doing some Scheme or other technical/geeky stuff, but I am currently at a loss as to how to proceed with this. Any help is really appreciated, thank you. maybe \new CueVoice { … } is what you're looking for!? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Shrinking-beams-along-with-noteheads-tp30337685p30337972.html 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: Problem with ragged-last and verse numbers
Try ragged-last = ##f as for the verse numbers, you probably could add \set stanza commands in the right places. best regards, Wilbert Berendsen -- Frescobaldi, LilyPond editor for KDE: http://www.frescobaldi.org/ Nederlands LilyPond forum: http://www.lilypondforum.nl/ ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Problem with ragged-last and verse numbers
Hello Athanasius, this is an interesting problem! I first thought, you just had to change ragged-last to ##f . This is what Lilypond says to *not* compress or rag the last line - so it stretches to the end. This does not help. And you probably tried this already. I found a workaround-solution (using Lily 2.12.3, should also work in 2.13?): 1. in the paper block ragged-last=##f 2. add a hidden note after the last \break in the music part: ... e) \finalis \break \stopStaff \hideNotes e } This causes the last line to stretch in my setup. The stanza numbers all appear with Lily 2.12. I will look, if this works in 2.13. Regards, Jan-Peter On 01.12.2010 02:51, Br. Athanasius Pelletier wrote: Hello all!

Re: subsections of a book
Well, nobody seems to know whether a third level element of the book is possible in Lilypond. In fact, I could make a workaround by using the chain of \book one after the other, which would do the trick, after all. The only problem is that I would need to merge the PDFs which are created for each \book separately which is very easy task. However, the only obstacle in doing it is that whenever new \book appears, the page numbering is re-set to the initial value. Is there a way in Lilypond how to say that it should NOT re-set page numbering when encountering new \book command and rather to continue the page numbering from the previous \book?

Re: Problem with sustain brackets with polyphony
Christoph stadler.chr at googlemail.com writes: I am trying to figure out how to use sustain brackets correctly in polyphony. If the notes of the two voices are shifted horizontally on the same time, the bracket end at one note and start again at the other leaving a gap in between (you can see it in the attached example) I would like to have the brackets always connected. How can I do it? Christoph, I do not think there is any way to change how the pedal bracket is placed relative to the other voices in the same staff. (Issue 723 in the bug list is similar problem, that the bracket aligns to the left of chords with 2nds.) Maybe you would like to move the pedal to its own staff-like context. Someone has defined a staff-like context called Dynamics (link below) that people like well enough that it will be built-in in the next Lilypond version 2.14. As a side effect, which could be good, the pedal brackets will always be aligned to the same height, even if there are gaps. \score { \new PianoStaff \new Staff \new Staff \clef F \time 3/4 \tenor \\ \bass \new Dynamics \with { pedalSustainStyle = #'bracket % or, \set Dynamics.pedalSustainStyle ... where you had it } \pedal \layout { % copy the layout from http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=357 } } ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

There is a indent.py script that is part of the files that come with Frescobaldi. It is used by Frescobaldi, but should also work as a standalone version. It used to work fine for me in the past, but currently I'm having some problems using it as a standalone tool.

Re: subsections of a book
Il giorno mer, 01/12/2010 alle 06.21 -0800, Jiri Zurek (Prague) ha scritto: However, the only obstacle in doing it is that whenever new \book appears, the page numbering is re-set to the initial value. Is there a way in Lilypond how to say that it should NOT re-set page numbering when encountering new \book command and rather to continue the page numbering from the previous \book? You can set it manually, specifying first-page-number for each \book But I guess you want LilyPond to do it for you... I don't know how to achieve that. Maybe you could say LilyPond not to print any page number. Then when you put pdf together you add page numbers at once. I don't know if pdftk can add page numbers.
