I believe the Notation Reference, at section 3.2.2 Custom titles, 
headers and footers, will give you wqhat you need. The starting point 
will likely involve creating a scoreTitleMaqrkup.


Hope that helps!

Notation Reference 1.2.1 
Scaling durations

 <> <>The duration of single notes, rests or chords may be multiplied by a 
fraction N/M by appending *N/M (or *N if M is 1) to the duration. This will not 
affect the appearance of the notes or rests produced, but the altered duration 
will be used in calculating the position within the measure and setting the 
duration in the MIDI output. Multiplying factors may be combined like *L*M/N. 
Factors are part of the duration:


From reading this, given that it does say the altered duration will be used in 
calculating the position within the measure, perhaps I should have concluded 
that it would apply to \partial and have the desired effect, but I was more 
focused on This will not affect the appearance of the notes or rests produced  
In any case, I tested it and it does work.

But thinking about it, I'm wondering why one would want to notate a different 
duration than is actually played,
for instance, applying David's later example:  

( \partial 8*2/3*2 (8*2/3 being _one_ eighth note triplet).

as follows:

First, use the formula as a duration multiplier:

c8*2/3*2 d e f g a b c d e f g a

In this case, each note is notated as 1 eighth, but counted as 4/3 of an 
eighth-note, giving 6 eighth-notes per 4/4 measure.

| c8 d8 e8 f8 g8 a8 | b8 c8 d8 e8 f8 g8 | a

This is consistent with the description of Scaling Duration in the Notation 
Reference.

Now using the same multiplier as a partial for a scale in triplet eighth-notes:

\partial 8*2/3*2  \tuplet 3/2 {c8 d  e f g  a b c  d e f  g a b } c

It is notated as:  \tuplet 3/2 {c8  d8  |  e8 f8 g8   a8 b8 c8   d8 e8 f8   g8 
a8 b8 } |  c8 

That is, an anacrusis of 2 triplet eighths..
This is both the nominal time and the allocated time (4/3 of an eighth).

Let me just say, for my purposes, I would like \partial to work the way it 
works now,
that is,  \partial 8*5  means a partial measure of five eighth notes,
both notated as such and counted as such.  
Without such an interpretation, I suspect there are amounts of anacrusis that 
could not be expressed,
such as five eighth notes.
However, I'm not sure the documentation is consistent with that interpretation.

I'm relatively new to Lilypond at this level of detail.  
All I can say is that the allowed forms and interpretation of \partial isn't so 
clear to me from the existing documentation.

Wonderful, it works like a charm.

melody = {
  <>\p \melodyA
  \melodyB
  <>\f \meldyA
}

<> is an empty chord (no duration since it has no notes to give a
duration to), so it's handy for sneaking in "post-events" (constructs
needing to be written after a note or chord) when they don't have to be
attached to particular notes.

Putting piano/forte *before* the note

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hi,

I often have repeated segments of music where the first time the
segment is played piano and the second time it is played forte.

I define segments with

melodyA = \fixed c' { c4 e g | ... }

and then

melody = { \melodyA \melodyB \melodyA }

Is there any way that I could write something like

melody = {
\makethispiano \melodyA
\melodyB
\makethisforte \melodyA
}

To avoid having to split the segment and write

melodyA = \fixed c' { e4 g | ... }
melody = {
c4\p \melodyA
\melodyB
c4\f \melodyA
}

This is particularly problematic because I usually add those marks
later and would then need to modify the scores in weird ways to
achieve the desired effect.

I guess I could use conditional variables, but I would prefer if I
could just add some kind of markup, even if it's eventually placed at
the bar.

Thank you,
Mojca

Re: can we pass in header variables as CLI parameters?

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before...

Is it possible to pass in header variables in via the CLI?

For example, I would like to pass the copyright date in via a 
parameter, instead of it being saved in the .LY file.


This can be done in LaTeX, so I hope there is a way to do something 
similar in lilypond.


Cheers

You could define a variable on the command line and insert it into the 
header block of a Lilypond file.


\version "2.18.2"
#(use-modules (guile-user))

\header { copyright = \markup { "©" \year "The Composer" } }

{ c''1 }


lilypond -e '(define-public year "2017")' tmp.ly
