Problems with Individual Parts
Hi Guys, I'm trying to write a ViolinI part which has a solo on a separate staff. My problem is that when there are no extra staffs, Lilypond adds a bar-line to the beginning of that staff System. Which grob do I need to tune so that these bar-lines don't appear when I only have staff/system?

Confused
Ok Guys, I've been reading the manual, and the whole context / grob / engravers / properties things have me confused. I can handle basic tasks, and actually, got the hang of editing more complex parts, but I can't seem to understand how to tune up things. So I've been tryng to comprehend it lilypond's internal working a bit better. So I'm going to ask, and perhaps, this could be put somewhere in the manual to help out other people who get confused by this as well. perhaps you guys will enlighten me. From what I gathered in the Manual, there are three steps that lilypond takes in order to produce the printable score. The first one is reading the source that you typed. It separates what it reads into seperate contexts, and based on these contexts, it decides what grobs will be placed. It utilizes engravers to calculate which grobs go where, and their spacing. This spacing depends on many variables which are related to contexts, and data and grobs that are placed right? The part that really gets me confused is that the internals manual never makes it very clear what belongs to what. Also, there isn't a very clear distinction between context properties, and grob properties, nor how to change them, or where to change them. Apparently, in terms of syntax, its just all the same to the user. The reason I'm sending this email is because I need to make a measure a bit larger than lilypond was making it, but I faced 2 problems: firstly, I did not know if I had to change the grobs of the notes, or the staff context (StaffSpacing?). I figured that problem pritty fast. But then, I coulnd't figure out, within the context, which was the variable I had to change, nor which command I had to issue to change it, nor where I had to issue the command so that only that measure was changed. . . . So as you can see, i'm pritty confused. Please help me understand lilypond a bit better.

Adding text-scripts to bars
yeah. I agree, Ataching text-script to Bars is also nice. As a matter of fact. If you could attach text-stript to any grob-object it would definately be a hand on the wheel. Althought, i don't if that is feasable(sp?). But it would allow you do do some nifty things, like funky instructions between measures that are turned transparent, or put chords in the middle of a bar, with diferent formatting than is allows by Lilypond. But it would be necessary to improve the text-script functions to allow more control over them, and I imagine that would also be difficult. But like I said, it would be an extra hand on the wheel for people who like to go weird on their notation. . . .

Adding measure numbers to all bars
Hey guys, is there an easy way to add measure number to all of the bars, or do I really need to add \property Score.currentBar = XX to all of the lines of my analisys??? Fabio. ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
removing the StaffSymbol lines (pentagram) and keeping the barlines
Hey guys,
I'm having trouble trying to remove the StaffSymbol Lines, and keeping
the barlines. . . Any ideas how I can do that?
here is a snippet of code:
staffAlayerA = \notes {
\stemUp
r16 b'8 b'16 |
b'8 b'16 b'16 ~ b'16 b'8 b'16 ~|
b'8. b'16 ~ b'16 b'8 b'16 |
b'8 b'16 b'16 ~ b'16 b'8 b'16 ~|
\bar |.
}
staffAglobal = \notes { \key c \major
\time 2/4
\clef treble
\partial 4}
staffA = \context Staff = staffA
\staffAglobal
\staffAlayerA
\score { \staffA
\paper { papersize = a4
linewidth = 260
orientation = landscape
\translator { \StaffContext StaffSymbol
\override #'line-count = #0 }
}}

PS output looks like junk
I'm just wondering, Are you using tetex, and is it configured to output PS higher than 300dpi??? That could be an explanation as to why the notes output dotty. . . . You can change this configuration using the texconfig utility. . . .(if you are running under *nix enviroments. . . . ) ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Buglet
Ok. So I couln not find any pages that told me how to do a Bug Report. Bug I believe I got one, so I'm putting it right here. . . I'm trying to make a sheet at 19pt, Lilypond 1.6.2-1 (Debian distribution) I get the following errors: + bash-2.05a$ ly2dvi viola.ly Running LilyPond...

I seemed to work when I was using another workstation with the 1.6.0 version os lilypond. . . . Could it be my setup? Thanks and keep up the good work!
