Hi
Not sure if this is what you are after, anyway the following code prints a
dashed double bar line in the middle of a measure:
\version "2.23.5"
\defineBarLine "!!" #'("!!" "!!" "!!")
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff \relative c' {
c2 \bar "!!" c |
c1 |
}
\new Staff \relative c {
\clef bass
c2 c |
c1 |
}
>>

This line could be changed to read

which “speaks” to the right context.
You could also replace the two \override with something like this:
> \score {
>\new PianoStaff <<
> \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano "
> \override PianoStaff.Fingering.color = #red
which affects all the Staff contexts included.

How to change appearance of multimeasure rest?
Hello everyone
Given this fragment:
{
\time 4/2
R\breve |
}
I would like the multimeasure rest printed like a semibreve rest.
The following code brings me near to my goal, but...
{
\time 4/2
\override MultiMeasureRest.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\override MultiMeasureRest.text = \markup \musicglyph #"rests.0"
\override MultiMeasureRest.staff-position = #2
R\breve |
}
... the rest is slammed to the left of the measure. What am I missing?
Or is there a better way to obtain what I want?
Thanks in advance
ciao

Yes, I know that there are more appropriate symbols, but I have to conform as
much as possible to the original layout, which uses superscript “o”
everywhere. Indeed this makes sense since the little “o” is the last letter of
every abbreviated word: “Violin_o_ prim_o_” and “Violin_o_ second_o_”, so I
ended up writing something like this (inside \markup):
\concat { "V." \hspace #-0.4 \normal-size-super o "I." \hspace #-0.6 \normal-
size-super o }
which produces an output very similar to the original.
As a matter of fact the original text is an italian publication dated 1885, so
you’re right, it’s quite old.
Anyway, thanks for your contribution.

Stem length of beamed notes
Hi everyone
While engraving the music in screenshot-source.png I’ve stumbled on a problem:
I cannot adjust the stem height of the first couple of eighth notes to look
like the printed version.
To be more specific: overriding the Stem.details.beamed-lengths does not work
for me no matter which value I put between the parentheses. The relevant part
is at line 6 of fragment.ly.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

That would be great. Indeed for me it’s not as hard to learn the Guile language as to understand the internal structures of Lilypond and their relation with the language.

Thank you very much, Lukas! :-) Your answer goes far beyond my expectations:
using slurs is a very good point. Actually I had thought about using them, but
I had no clue on how to modify their shape. Besides that, Scheme language
still looks a bit intimidating to me, so I had to resort to use
HorizontalBracket.
Anyway, let’s see if I understand the big picture of your code:
1. you define some pure Scheme functions that deal about creating the basic
“shapes” (actually the vectors that will be used by the “path” command);
2. then you define the commands that tweak the stencil of a Slur grob;
3. and, like a “tweak” command, you call it just before the parentheses,
letting the magic happen, right?
By the way, the code does not compile with my old 2.19.83 version (included in
my Linux installation), I had to download the latest version.

Questions about HorizontalBracket
Hi everyone
I’m trying to use HorizontalBracket to annotate the intervals between notes of
a scale.
The example (perhaps not minimal, but almost working) attached shows something
very close to what I want to achieve.
However there are a few things that need to be fixed, or improved:
1) the brackets remain outside the staff no matter how I fiddle with staff-
padding and padding properties, while I would like them to stay closer to the
notes;
2) I cannot find an (obvious and) automatic way to have the ends of a bracket
to align with the center of the note heads. I found a manual workaround by
setting the shorten-pair property, which is a far from being an optimal
solution;
3) is there a way to create a V-shaped bracket? The hack I came up with is
ugly;
4) to have brackets both above and below the notes I have used two voices, one
with the notes hidden. Is there a faster/less verbose way to obtain the same
result?
Besides these, it would be nice (but not essential) to have these bracket to
also follow the slope of an interval.
The summary of my needs can be found in the attached image.
Can anyone shed some light, please?
Thanks

Many thanks to you and Orm for the answer. Your suggestion does exactly what I was looking for; I just thought that the clipping could be done by means of some obscure option in \lilypondfile, that’s why I mentioned LaTeX/lilypond- book, so never mind. cheers Francesco Napoleoni ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Including a score fragment in LaTeX document
Hi list,
I’m fiddling with lilypond-book and XeLaTeX for the first time and have a
little problem with a fragment that I want to include. I have a little
Lilypond file like this
\version "2.19.80"
\score {
\new Staff {
\clef treble
\key c \major
\time 12/8
% excerpt from Grieg Piano sonata op. 7
\relative c'' {
% 16
4.->\ff -> -> ->\> | % note the decrescendo
here
% 17
s1.\! | % I had to add this measure to get the hairpin printed
}
}
}
Now the (newbie) question: how can I include this code in a LaTeX document
(using \lilypondfile) without the last empty measure? I have tried clip-
regions in the \layout block with no success.
Thanks in advance

Hi Gianmaria
As far as I know, the most wide-accepted practice is to enclose the music into
a repeated section ||: :|| and to write how many times it should be played, or
“ad libitum” if it is to leave to the freedom of the player.
In didactical examples it is appropriate to give some instructions before the
music pattern. However it’s not uncommon to see staff lines continuing a bit
past the last bar, maybe with an accompanying “etc.” text.
All these things can be done pretty easily in lilypond, like the following
example, freely taken from “Rational principles of piano techinque” by Cortot:
\version "2.19.59"
\score {
\header {
piece = \markup { "Esercizio n. 1b" \italic "(cominciando col 2° dito - m.
d. e col 4° - m. s.)" }
}
\new Staff \with {
\remove Time_signature_engraver
instrumentName = \markup {
\center-column {
\line {
\box "C" "*"
}
\line {
\box "H" \box "R"
}
}
}
} <<
\time 2/4
\new Voice \relative c' {
\repeat volta 2 {
d16^2_4 c^1_5 e^3_3 f^4_2 g^5_1 f^4_2 e^3_3 c^1_5 |

\repeat volta 2 {
d16 c f e g e f c |
}
}
>>
}
\markup {
\column {
\justify {

}
}
}
\score {
\new Staff \with {
\remove Bar_engraver
\remove Time_signature_engraver
instrumentName = "ascendendo:"
} \relative c' {

This should help you, I hope.

Hi all I would like to have bar numbers printed below the last staff of a system, aligned to the middle point between bars, like the image attached. In the notation manual I see that BarNumber object can be configured in many ways, but I still can’t figure out whether such positioning and alignment is feasible.
