Such a mode between ragged-right and normal justification doesn't exist in LilyPond. Can you provide scans of some real-world examples that show how you would actually like to format stuff? Werner
Re: How to put a big number in the upper left or right corner of a score?
On some projects, I use this method:Make the number a rehearsal mark. In the
layout block:\override Score.RehearsalMark.X-extent = ##f\override
Score.RehearsalMark.Y-extent = ##f\override Score.RehearsalMark.X-offset=
#?\override Score.RehearsalMark.Y-offset= #?Create a scheme music definition
for each page (useful for slides) which includes the rehearsal mark. The
result, for me, is a number that prints on every page and immune from pushing
around, or being pushed around by...other grobs. Sorry, away from my computer
now, can't send an actual example. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy

What is the easiest way to put a big number (e.g. font size 4 bold)
in the upper left or right corner of a score? In previous versions I
used to manage this with a double header, one in \book and one in
\score, and faking a second "poet" (left corner) or "composer" (right
corner), but this does not seem to work any more, at least not the way
it used to. Moreover it isn't a very "clean" solution. Something like a regular
(but huge) page number would be better.If this is something you'll want on a
regular basis I'd do a custom header. They're pretty simple to define - I've
got one I use for a score version. I used to use either subtitle or
subsubtitle, but ran into enough cases where I actually had need of both that I
finally just defined my own header to use. It goes into a \paper block,
defined before the \header block where you want to use it. For the docs
seehttps://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/custom-titles-headers-and-footersThe
part about defining your own is about half way down. The entry in the \paper
block for this would be something like:bookTitleMarkup = \markup { \sans {
\override #'(baseline-skip . 3.5) \column { \fill-line { \null \null
\fontsize #4 \bold \fromproperty #'header:bignumber } \fill-line {

} \fill-line { { \smaller \fromproperty #'header:meter }
{ \large \bold \fromproperty #'header:instrument } { \smaller
\fromproperty #'header:arranger } } } } }}In this case a new
header field called bignumber is defined on the fifth line, placed at the very
top of the header block, in the top right corner. If you want it in the top
left corner, change that line to:\fill-line { \fontsize #4 \bold \fromproperty
#'header:bignumber \null \null }(BTW, Lilypond's default for this block is in
titling-init.ly) In this block you can adjust the order and placement of all
the headers, not just your own custom ones. In this example, I've also added
myscoreversion (the one I mentioned earlier), put it where the instrument
header used to be, and moved instrument down a line centered between meter and
arranger (a spot left blank in the default).To use your newly defined custom
header, you set it just like any other header:\header { title = "Title Goes
Here" bignumber = "42" composer = "Written by Somebody" subtitle = "Random
subtitle"}Also, as this is now a defined header entry, it can be used just like
any other header entry, such as in subsequent page headers:oddHeaderMarkup =

Re: How to achieve minimum horizontal spacing between notes
After some trial and error, the simplest workaround was to override the stencil
of NoteHead so it draws the missing ledger line. I conditionally set
NoteHead.stencil to ly:text-interface::print and set NoteHead.text to custom
markup function.
\override NoteHead.stencil =
#(lambda (grob)
(let ((pos (ly:grob-property grob 'staff-position)))
(begin
(if (< pos -7) (display "ERROR: Lower brevis then expected\n") (display
""))
(if (<= pos -6) ly:text-interface::print ly:note-head::print
\override NoteHead.text =
#(lambda (grob)
(let ((pos (ly:grob-property grob 'staff-position)))
#{\markup {
\combine
\halign #-0.55 \raise #(if (= pos -6) 0 0.5) \override #'(thickness
. 2) \draw-line #'(3.2 . 0)
\musicglyph "noteheads.sM1"
}#}))
It is very basic ledger line code that is valid only for staff positions -6 and
-7, but this is all I need for the psalms.
Even though my question didn't get any attention, I hope this workaround might
help someone in the future.
Many thanks to all the developers of LilyPond for creating such a highly
customizable music engraving tool. I can't imagine creating this project
without LilyPond.

Dear LilyPond community,
I'm working on an web psalter https://www.zaltar.cz (in Czech language) with
responsive music notation based on LilyPond. For example, take a look at
https://www.zaltar.cz/OL1.html and try changing the width of the browser. The
notation is pre-engraved at 9 different sizes and the correct size is
automatically selected using CSS rules. The LilyPond code used to create the
notation is linked at the bottom of each page.
In order to make the notation work at so many different sizes, I have used the
excellent work of Thomas Morley
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-05/msg2.html), Jean
Abou Samra and Werner Lemberg
(https://www.mail-archive.com/lilypond-user@gnu.org/msg149350.html). Thank you
very much! Their code handles automatic wrapping of long breves and snapping
syllables so that they appear as one text on each breve.
However, I would like to take musical notation even further. Right now, there's
a lot of extra space behind the breve because of those invisible notes that are
evenly spaced.
My question is: Is it possible to reduce the spacing between those invisible
breves? I tried using \override NoteHead.X-extent = #'(0 . 0). This almost does
what I want. The notes can overlap and the spacing is dictated by the text
only, which is great for my purpose. However, there is serious drawback to
this. The ledger lines stop working. This is understandable, since they need
the X-extent of note heads to calculate the length. So, please, is there any
other way to a achieve similar spacing, but without interfering with the ledger
lines?
Below is some kind of MWE. I would like to achieve the same spacing as in the
MWE, but with working ledger lines:
\version "2.24.0"
\header {
tagline = ""
}
\paper {
indent = 0\cm
top-margin = 0\cm
right-margin = 0\cm
bottom-margin = 0\cm
left-margin = 0\cm
paper-width = 15\cm
page-breaking = #ly:one-page-breaking

If this is something you'll want on a regular basis I'd do a custom header.
They're pretty simple to define - I've got one I use for a score version. I
used to use either subtitle or subsubtitle, but ran into enough cases where
I actually had need of both that I finally just defined my own header to
use. It goes into a \paper block, defined before the \header block where
you want to use it. For the docs see
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/custom-titles-headers-and-footers
The part about defining your own is about half way down. The entry in the
\paper block for this would be something like:
bookTitleMarkup = \markup {
\sans {
\override #'(baseline-skip . 3.5)
\column {
\fill-line { \null \null \fontsize #4 \bold \fromproperty
#'header:bignumber }
\fill-line { \fromproperty #'header:dedication }
\override #'(baseline-skip . 3) % default 3.5
\column {
\fill-line {
\huge \larger \larger \bold
\fromproperty #'header:title
}
\fill-line {
\large \bold
\fromproperty #'header:subtitle
}
\fill-line {
\smaller \bold
\fromproperty #'header:subsubtitle
}
\fill-line {
{ \smaller \fromproperty #'header:poet }
{ \bold \fromproperty #'header:myscoreversion }
{ \smaller \fromproperty #'header:composer }
}
\fill-line {
{ \smaller \fromproperty #'header:meter }
{ \large \bold \fromproperty #'header:instrument }
{ \smaller \fromproperty #'header:arranger }
}
}
}
}
}
In this case a new header field called bignumber is defined on the fifth
line, placed at the very top of the header block, in the top right corner.
If you want it in the top left corner, change that line to:
\fill-line { \fontsize #4 \bold \fromproperty #'header:bignumber \null
\null }
(BTW, Lilypond's default for this block is in titling-init.ly) In this
block you can adjust the order and placement of all the headers, not just
your own custom ones. In this example, I've also added myscoreversion (the
one I mentioned earlier), put it where the instrument header used to be,
and moved instrument down a line centered between meter and arranger (a
spot left blank in the default).
To use your newly defined custom header, you set it just like any other
header:
\header {
title = "Title Goes Here"
bignumber = "42"
composer = "Written by Somebody"
subtitle = "Random subtitle"
}
Also, as this is now a defined header entry, it can be used just like any
other header entry, such as in subsequent page headers:
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \sans {
\fill-line {
\unless \on-first-page
\fontsize #4 \bold \fromproperty #'header:bignumber
\unless \on-first-page
\fromproperty #'header:title
\unless \on-first-page
\fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
}
}
Granted, this all winds up being a fair sized chunk of code. But it's easy
enough to just save it all off into an include file, where it's out of the
way but accessible.

Sorry for the very late reply. It's best to reply to the list also, this shares
the burden of helping (I've added back in CC).
You could increase the distance from the top of the page to the header, as in,
e.g.,
```
\version "2.24.2"
\paper {
top-markup-spacing.minimum-distance = 10
}
\header {
title = "ABC"
}
{ c' }
```

Tweak Slur Position or Priority
Hi Group and Merry Christmas :)
I do not find the right way to tweak the slur position here:
---8<--
\version "2.24.0"
{\relative {\tupletUp \tuplet 3/2 { as'2 b4 } \override Slur.position
=#'(5 . 5) \tuplet 3/2 { c4 (d e) } f\fermata}}
-->8---
I know I could avoid collision by putting the tuple brackets down - but
since I've got lyrics there, I prefer them up.
As you can see, I tried to raise the slur, but I guess it's "blocked"
under the bracket - is there a way to put the slur above the tuplet bracket?
Best regards
Johannes
