slur attachment
Is slur attachment gone forever. It would be real useful for something like this. If so, what is the best way to "attach" a slur from the stem of one note to the head of another. Thanks.

Re: using \markup for #'("text" . "")
Thanks Graham and Mats. I can now do what I want to do. I was planning on putting a #:hspace ~0.5 after the the finger number, but this gives an unexpected result that looks no where near as good as putting a space " " character after the finger number. The number is much higher than it needs to be and the line is only a little higher. It looks like the spanner line is right at the base of the number, or left edge-text. I would be interested in an explanation as to why this happens, but it is not necessary. ly below will show what I am talking about. The first measure looks good, in the 2nd the line is too low relative to the number. Thanks again.

keep finger down
I am looking for the best way to notate a fingering instruction that tells a violinist to keep a finger down. This involves a finger number followed by a line that continues until the finger no longer needs to be held down. I know several ways to do this and I have included them in an example below. They can all work, but each have their drawbacks. Does anyone know of something better. I want a centered fingering followed by a line. Thanks.

Re: Divisi and Unison
Thanks again. What you sent wasn't quite right, a "{" was in the wrong place or something, but close enough for me to understand what is going on. I am including what worked for me so that it might help someone else. So, Brahms Symphony No. 1 2nd movement where the first violins split into section and solo can be done like this. \paper {papersize = "letter" indent = 0.0\in } \score { \new GrandStaff { \notes { d'4 d' d' d' | d' d' d' d' | d' d' d' d' | d' d' d' d' | \break << { e'4 e' e' e' } \new Staff { c'4 c' c' c' } >> d'4 d' d' d' } } } This is how I have seen it done, with the brace. One last nitpick, perhaps a bug. When I run lilypond on this, the last barline of the first line is not at the end of the line. I don't think I am doing any thing to cause this. If anyone knows anything, please help. Thanks again.

Re: Divisi and Unison
Thanks, this helped me also. Is there a way to make the two staffs be contained in a brace like piano music. I have tried different things with no luck. i have seen this in Brahms Symphony 1, first violin part where the concertmaster solo appears. There are two staffs and in parts I have seen, they are braced together. Thanks.

Re: guile for lilypond on Red Hat 9
Peter, A little while back I was trying to figure out how to get lilypond 1.8 on RH9. Make sure that you have read the following archived message titled "problems trying out 1.7.29-1 and 30-1" so Han-Wen won't have to repeat the message. http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2003-08/msg00111.html This one may not have caught your eye (because of the title) but it is relevant to your problem. Just to let you know, I never got lily 1.8 running on RH9. I even went to the trouble of doing a "minimal," fresh install of Redhat without any guile on the system. I was able to install the guile-1.6.4-7.1.i386.rpm, but there was no difference. I got the same errors I always got. I finally gave up on RH9 because of some rpm weirdness. It was telling me things were not installed that were, things were installed that were not, and it hanged a lot of times. I am speaking of the command line rpm. Make sure that you are using the command line rpm and not the software installer or whatever its called. Anyway, I felt guilty asking for more help when my system seemed to be playing with my mind. I switched to mandrake 9.1 and lilypond 1.7.23. Please post back if you get something to work as I am sure there are others in this situation waiting to hear of someone else having success.

problems trying out 1.7.29-1 and 30-1
I tried the devel list and couldn't get through as unsubscribed, and I couldn't manage to subscribe with the web form, so, sorry if this is the wrong list. Here was my email. Hello all, Wanting to try out 1.7.29-1 and I think I am running into a problem mentioned in thread early in July. However, the solution at that time was "wait for guile-1.6.4-7 (or later)," which is what I have done, I think. On a fresh install of RH9 I downloaded guile-1.6.4-7.1.i386.rpm. To install it I did rpm -U guile-1.6.4-7.1.i386.rpm. Then I installed lilypond. Have I done anything wrong. I got pretty much the same error message as the thread a month ago. Running /usr/bin/lilypond...GNU LilyPond 1.7.29ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link: ERROR: file: "libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1", message: "libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" ly2dvi: error: LilyPond failed on input file test (exit status 2) ly2dvi: warning: Running LilyPond failed. Rerun with --verbose for a trace. If someone could either tell me what I did wrong or tell me to keep waiting for a different guile, that would be nice. Looking forward to 1.8. Thanks.
