Bar lines in polyphonic music and words under split voices

2015-09-28 Thread Do something Artistic
I have been working on a piece of music for some time now and cannot seem to 
get the following to happen.
 
1. vocal parts with different measure lengths. Lilypond always seems to want to 
line bars up especially when one bar now has six beats from four or changes.
2. attach words to a split vocal line of the form << {}\\ {}>> lilypond seems 
to want to just skip over it and go to the next "normal" part.

Opened Frescobaldi today and got a 62097 error when I tried to engrave.
 
Does anyone know what this means and how I can fix it?

FW: Whole measure rests in Compound duple meter

Trying to figure out the notation for whole measure rests in 6/8 time. My work 
around right now is r2. which seems to fill up the measure but I find this 
aesthetically unpleasant. Is there another way.
 
Thank you,

Volta and alternative problems

2014-12-07 Thread Do something Artistic
 Trying to create a second ending in a piano score (am using Frescobaldi) found 
the documentation and thought I had followed it to the letter but am getting an 
error; unexpected \alternative {.
 
I can't seem to figure out why. I know this is a long clip but I really don't 
know what is relevant so please forgive me.
 
\repeat volta 2  { g8 b c d  g, b c d |%9

  g,\ a b c\! d\ c e c\! | %10  g b c d g, b c d | %11  g,\ a b c d c e c\!

\alternative { {c8\( e f g c,4 r4\)}{c e2 r2 }   } I really 
appreciate the help  ___

Adding horizontal space

How can I add horizontal space both after the music and after each stanza. My 
score seems too cramped.

RE: Adding horizontal space

2014-08-15 Thread Do something Artistic

Ok sorry, this is what I am using to put additional stanzas under my music. I 
was wondering what I need to add to get the additional space after the music 
and between the stanzas without being criticized for putting too much code in 
my question.

 Well, your example shows neither music nor stanzas.

Meter change question revision

2014-08-05 Thread Do something Artistic
thank you for the replies. My problem more specifically is that I am trying to 
change meteres midstream. So the piece is unmetered as handwritten. 
But it starts in a basic 4/4 but then only specific bars on specific staves 
change meters. If I could go unmetered and insert bar lines as needed 
that would be best, other wise I need to change for example the soprano line 
from 4/4 to 6/4 while the other lines stay the 
same or change to something like 7/4. The quarter notes all line up so in a 
sense it is not a polyrhythm nor does it change from simple to compound.

Trying to change meters in one line of an SATB score without changing all of 
the lines.
 
Tried to just go unmetered but that didn't seem to work.
