There is no "\transposing". You probably mean "\transposition", and
I have no idea what you are talking about here.

How about a minimal example about what you think you need to do, and a
description of what exactly is the problem with it?
And a sketch of what you would want to be doing instead and why it would
be superior?

I now receive these as they come in. This series of posts covers ornaments that are placed to left or right of a notehead. The score I am working with has a form called pincé which is rather different: it looks like a hand-written mordent (see attached image). I have used code of the form trill = #(make-articulation "stopped") to replace - in that case - trill signs with "+" signs. I wonder if the same sort of syntax could be used to replace, mordent, say with some customized bit of drawing to look like the desired pincé-simple? That is replace "stopped" in this example with something else that would give the desired effect?

Re: An old claveciniste's notation
This brings up the point that there do indeed seem to be a set of people trying to use lilypond for baroque music engraving. Lilypond seems heavily oriented around nineteenth century practice (leaving aside it's wonderful support for ancient notations) and the very usual and common set of baroque keyboard ornaments (meaning, in particular, the French ones) have to be done with complex special techniques that are not easily understood or manufactured by those who do not know Scheme. Why can't lilypond be extended to have in the base code a full set of French baroque ornament signs and symbols? How would one initiate such a request? It's interesting that it was only two or three weeks ago that I myself asked about pincé, and here it is again. So there is some growing demand. I am of course aware that there is generally more than one way to notate the French ornaments, but that can be dealt with I imagine.

The poster wants the decimal number on top, so just exchange the lines in
the column. Also, you can use \center-column so you don't have to estimate
\hspace values:
%%%
\version "2.18.2"
decimalTS = \markup {
\override #'(baseline-skip . 0.5)
\center-column {
\concat { \number 3 \magnify #2 . \number 5 }
\concat { \number 4 }
}
}
\relative c' {
\override Staff.TimeSignature.stencil = #(lambda (grob)

Hello, Simon, thank you.
This code more elegancy, but I hope lily-scheme let me find more simply
solve.
Var 1 Redefining "(", but I think it's not possible.
Var 2 writing function like your last code. \sn c {c d}
Var 3 redefining "\[" brackets like my second answer \[c (c d)\] - it
work and look fine.
Var 3a hack default ligature without redefining \[ and \]
Var 4 create function like \cadenzaOn or \slurDown and write it at start
position of code. (And create function for turning off )
Thank you,
Evgeny

Hello Evgeny,
sorry I forgot to cc the list in my first reply, actually it’s always
useful to do so.
Well, I experimented some more, and I can explain why it’s so
complicated: the overrides need to come before the first note and the
slur needs to be started after the first note since this is a
post-event (meaning that it comes after the note to which it belongs).
But finding a solution is somewhat over my head. I made another try at
creating a music function:
sn = #(define-music-function (parser location mus muss)
(ly:music? ly:music?)
#{ \newSpacingSection \override Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment
= #0
$mus
#(make-span-event 'SlurEvent START)
$muss
#(make-span-event 'SlurEvent STOP)
\newSpacingSection \revert Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment
\once \override Score.BarLine.transparent = ##t
\bar "" \noBreak \bar "" \noBreak
#}
)
\relative {
c' d e f
\sn c { d e f }
}
But Lily won’t accept the post-events in the music function like that.
So I pass the question on to the music-function-and-scheme cracks on
the list ;-)
Best regards, Simon

Mensural ligature
Hi all!
On my way to typeset a mass by Monteverdi, I'm blocked with some
ligatures (see
http://musicofyesterday.com/historical-music-theory/expanded-history-musical-notation-part-4/
for examples)
I can code the first one in its 8th image like this:
<< \tag #'Urtext { \[ d1 e1*3/4 \] }
\tag #'Modern { d1 e2. } >> f4 g1
but don't find any way to get the E in black.
Thanks for any pointer how to construct this.
Cheers,
Jean-Charles
