Re: How to make a blank page
I tried this trick, which seems to work :
\markup " "
\pageBreak
produces a blank page
It seems that there must be something on the page for \pageBreak to produce a
page.
Of course, there is also possibilities to add blank pages to a PDF document.

Jean already gave one solution, another common one would be to use a
blank bookpart (each bookpart always starts on a new page).

\bookpart { \markup \null }
\bookpart { \score { c' } }
\bookpart { \markup "Page intentionally left blank for page-turning

I don’t quite know what you mean by referring to the even-numbered page;
maybe this could help:

especially the note at the bottom regarding odd/even.
Hope that helps,

Like this?
```

```
The `60/59` notation is just LilyPond syntax for the Scheme pair `(60 . 59)`.
There is some info about `#@`
[here](https://extending-lilypond.gitlab.io/en/extending/intro.html#inserting-scheme-inside-lilypond)
(and if you didn't know about pairs, you can read
[this](https://extending-lilypond.gitlab.io/en/scheme/alists.html#a-word-on-pairs)).

How to generate \scaleDurations values procedurally
Hello,
I'm (re)working on a series of pieces for player piano. I'd like to
find a way to generate all the \scaleDurations values so that I don't
have to type them by hand. In the example below they follow a simple
pattern (60/60k 60/59, 60/58, etc.). Unfortunately my knowledge of
Scheme is very limited. Moreover, I wouldn't know how to insert the
generated values to the right staves.
Any hint would be really appreciated!
Cheers,

Try something like this?

\version "2.24.1"

\tweak stencil

making arpeggios with straight lines
Hi everyone, I'm trying to draw an up or down arrow next to a chord. This is common notation in classical guitar for strum direction. It seems that the most likely way to make this happen is to use \arpeggio and set the arpeggio stencil to draw a straight line. I saw https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2019-12/msg00080.html that gives some hints about how to do stencils but maybe a more clear tutorial or set of examples would help. Or, perhaps, there's a better way to do this. I am, of course, open to any suggestion. - John

I would be curious to understand what section of the documentation you are
reading and why you believe it implies this.
\pageBreak means "the element before and the element after must not be on the
same page". In this case, there is no element before, so nothing to do for
\pageBreak.
You can achieve what you're after with
myScore = ...
\markup ""
\pageBreak
\myScore

How to make a blank page
Hi
I'm engraving a piece in two sections. The first section fits on one page
and the second one is rather longer and requires 2 pages. I would like the
pdf to have a blank page at the start because I often view pdf's with 2
pages side by side. All my searches have not helped. My minimum not-working
example is:
\version "2.24.0"
\language "en"
myScore = \score { \relative { c'4 d e f g }}
\pageBreak
\myScore
My understanding of the documentation says that this ought to produce an
initial blank page. It doesn't. A solution which would also allow me to
insert a blank space between scores (so I could begin a 2nd movement on an
even-numbered page) would be good, but my current request is just for an
initial one.
Thanks in advance for your help
Paul McKay
