Re: Introduction, and question on symbol placement

I use lilypond to write lead sheets. I have a chart with a coda jump that occurs right after a second ending.

Is there a way I can tweak the placement of the Coda symbol to bring it a little (or a lot) lower, and hopefully cause the software to spread the horizontal spacing a little to prevent crowding? Even if it creates crowding, I'd like to learn how to tweak the 'altitude' of the Coda sign. There are a few ways you could do this I guess. Best place to start is here http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/vertical-collision-avoidance Regards James PS also take a look here http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/html/whatsthis.html This often contains useful tweaks and hacks - although this is based on the last 2.12 stable version the syntax hasn't changed *that* much that most will still work with 2.14.x ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

In order to spread the horizontal space a bit, you can use this:
\paper {
ragged-last = ##f
}
This is more powerful:
\override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn #'padding = #3
Notation Reference 4.5.3 shows other ways.

Chord symbols above staff
I have been using the excellent jazzcombo template by Amelie Zapf, I am now doing my third fake sheet. So far just a bass staff chords annotations above it. The first two, all the examples in the manuals, put the chords above the staff, where I want them. My third, which I am working on now, puts the chords below the staff for no reason I can spot. I have compared all manual examples I can find my previous fake sheets but can find no reason for this or a simple way to reverse theis situation. Any pointers please?

How does lilypond choose fonts?
Hi! I'm using lilypond 2.14.1 under CygWin 2.7, and have a large number of fonts I've accumulated over the decades. I have set up my lilypond files to use fonts I like in \paper: #(define fonts (make-pango-font-tree Centaur MT ITC Eras Prestige Elite (/ myStaffSize 20))) And this works exactly as expected, so long as I use standard ASCII characters. Once I add Cyrillic (e.g., Был у Хри -- ста, мла -- ден -- ца сад,), lilypond starts using Verdana. I think I understand why -- the three old PFB fonts I selected don't support Unicode. But I can't figure out how lilypond figured out that it needed to override my font choice or how it chose the font it did (Verdana). I would like to convince lilypond to use Times New Roman or Garamond. All clues gratefully received!

Re: How to change the stem-length?

I don't have the answer to your question, but I have an observation. The
function works significantly better when you use automatic beaming.
Better, but not perfectly: as you will see, most but not all stems are
lengthened in the example. There is other odd behavior, too. When I
change the beatStructure line (in 2.15.16) to
\set Timing.beatStructure = #'(6 6 6 5 9)
the last stem of the third group is once again unaffected.
top = \change Staff = 1
bottom = \change Staff = 2
music = \relative c {
\time 2/4
\override Beam #'auto-knee-gap = #0
\set Timing.baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1 64)
\set Timing.beatStructure = #'(6 6 6 5 8 1)
\override Beam #'stencil = #(stem-change 20)

c b \bottom g,
\top e'' \bottom c,, \top g''

I would like to convince lilypond to use Times New Roman or Garamond. Fallback fonts, this is, fonts not exactly set up by LilyPond, are handled by the FontConfig library. It seems that FontConfig's searching algorithm finds Verdana before Times New Roman. Two solutions: . Define a command, say, \russian, which sets up the proper font in Lilypond. This is what I recommend. . Fix FontConfig's configuration files. Werner ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
official way to have a MultiMeasureRest force appearance of a french-ed Staff
Hello all, Situation: Lilypond 2.15.x Staff has been french-ed by \RemoveEmptyStaves one particular MultiMeasureRest needs to be visible What's the current best practice for doing this? (At one point it was to mess with keep-alive-interfaces, but I know a lot of changes have been made in this area, so I thought there might now be a more elegant way.) Thanks!

Hi,
using a beam-stencil-override, I'd wish to adjust the stem-length within the

example with kneed-beams, I've noticed a problem: Some stems are affected

I love how that looks!!
I need to find a way to work it into a piece...
The function will be consistent if you hijack a different property. To wit,
quantized-positions. By the time you call ly:beam::print, the stencil values
for the stem may have already been cached, in which case they will not be
recalculated for length.
