I think you could use the same trick it was posted some months ago about
crescendo and decrescendo (I'm sorry I don't remeber who posted it):
%% START SNIPPET %%
\version 2.9.11
\new Staff {
c'4
d'4
e'4
f'4*1/2 \startTrillSpan s4*1/2 \stopTrillSpan
}
%% END SNIPPET %%
You can modify numbers (such as f4*1/3 ... s4*2/3 and so on) to adjust the
length of the spanner.
I've tried it and it seems to work as you'd like. I hope this can be of some
use.

Strange behaviour of breakbefore option
Hi everybody!
I'm using lilypond version 2.8.4.
I was trying to use the breakbefore option in the header block inside
a score to make the second score of my book start on a new page, but I
couldn't afford it.
So, trying on a little test file, I've discovered that breakbefore
apparently works only if piece string is set, and this string can't be an
empty one.
So this header block did not work:
\header {
breakbefore = ##t
}
but this one worked:
\header {
piece =
breakbefore = ##t
}
I think this is really a strange behaviour, since it's quite normal to want a
score start on a new page even if this score has no piece title.
Best regards,
Gianluca D'Orazio

Even and odd page-margins
Hi everybody! I'd like to ask if anyone knows a way to set different margins for odd and even pages with Lilypond. I've tried to find some information from the manual of boh 2.8 and 2.9 version, but I couldn't find anything. I wouldn't like to use lilypond-book to achieve my goal, because I think it would be a waste of resources to use two different programs to obtain a simple thing like this. I'd be also interested in sponsoring this feature, eventually. Another feature I'd like to see in lilypond is a set of properties for the first page of a score, or the page with title- something like first-page-between-system-space or first-page-top-margin; actually, the first page usually needs specific tuning, which are often not suitable for the rest of the score- so I've thought it would be pretty nice to have specific settings for the title-page. I would be interested in sponsoring this feature too. Best wishes, Gianluca D'Orazio ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: I'm having problem coloring notes
Alle 19:40, martedì 9 maggio 2006, Xiaoyu Ding ha scritto: Is this because that I'm trying to color a note within a chord? It is not allowed to use the override command within a chord; if you're working with lilypond 2.8, you can use the tweak command. Your example will work this way: bes \tweak #'color #blue g4 It will produce a chord with a blue g. It is not needed to revert the color to black, because tweak changes the property only once at a time. You can find some other information here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.8/Documentation/topdocs/NEWS.html Scroll down the page a bit, and one of the news is all about tweak.

Problems with lilypond-invoke-editor
Good morning to everybody! I'm using lilypond v. 2.7.38 and I've got a weird problem with lilypond-invoke-editor. I use xpdf as pdf-viewer and it used to work fine with point-and-click, but know it gives me this error message: lilypond-invoke-editor (GNU LilyPond) 2.7.38 ERROR: no code for module (scm editor) Is there anyone who knows why or how could I fix it?

How to shorten ties?
Good afternoon to everybody!
I know that the answer to my question is probably somewhere in the manual, but
I will be grateful to anyone who could help me.
I've been searching for a way to shorten ties. I've tried with commands such
as extra-X-extent but I couldn't make it work.
I'm using Lilypond version 2.7.37 in Linux.
There's an example of the code I used:
\version 2.7
\score {
\new Staff \relative c'' {
\once \override Staff.Tie #'extra-X-extent = #'(-1 . 0) a2~ a4 r
}
}
Thank you to everybody!

Re: putting piano centered dynamics into score
Alle 13:19, martedì 31 gennaio 2006, liang seng ha scritto:
Hi, I am using Lilypond 2.7.27 for Windows 98 and I have a problem putting
a file which contains piano centered dynamics into a score. The contents of
the file piano.ly are the same as the input file used to generate piano
centered dynamics in the 2.7 documentation file. The file of the score is
as below:
\version 2.7.27
\include piano.ly
\score{
\new StaffGroup \override Score.InstrumentName #'space-alist =
#'((left-edge extra-space . 4.0))
\new Staff { \set Staff.instrument = Violin R2 }
\new Staff { \set Staff.instrument = Viola R2}
\new PianoStaff \set PianoStaff.instrument = Piano
\new Staff { \upper }
\new Staff { \lower }
\new Staff { \set Staff.instrument = Bass R2 }
}
The contents of \upper are:
\new Voice \relative c {
\clef treble
\key c \major
\time 2/4
\change Staff=lower
r8 g32 b d g a8\rest \stemUp g32 b \change Staff=upper d g }
The contents of \lower are:
\new Voice \relative c { \clef bass
\stemDown \times 2/3 { g,16 b d } c8\rest \times 2/3 { g'16 b d } r8
}
The problem is highlighted in the pdf file. The piano staff appears twice
while the piano staff which is in the correct position does not display the
manual staff switches. What is wrong?
Maybe you should try to give a name to piano staves, using the \context
command- otherwise I think the switching-notes routine will get confused.
So try writing :
\new PianoStaff \set PianoStaff.instrument = Piano
\context Staff = upper { \upper }
\context Staff = lower { \lower }
I hope this could be useful.

Forcing page layout in Lilypond 2.6.4
Hello everybody! Is there any way to force Lilypond 2.6.4 to obliviously obey to \paper settings such as betweensystemspace or betweensystempadding? It's very frustrating the useless struggle against the intelligent stubborness of lilypond internal layout when it continues putting more white space on the page than staves even if you've just tried all the possible settings in the \paper block.

Re: Migration from Finale: music xml or etf

Also, it supports some features that musicxml2ly doesn't support yet. The xml2ly converter has been posted in the mailing list, so I think it could be easily found in the archives.

Re: Still learning Lilypond's ropes
Alle 00:08, lunedì 16 gennaio 2006, Ray ha scritto: Do I insert the \break into the notes (not shown)? Yes, you can put the \break instruction into the notes, but you should put it just after a barline, or, which is the same, between two measures- otherwise, lilypond will ignore your command. When I say after a barline I don't mean that you must have a \bar command between your notes, but that you have to put the break in the ideal space between the notes of two different measures- in common time, for instance, if you have this sequence of notes: g4 b8 c d4 d, g2. r4 assuming that the first note starts a bar, there's only one place to put a break, i.e. after the second d: g4 b8 c d4 d, \break g2. r4 because it is where a bar falls. Actually, it is still possible that Lilypond will ignore your command, if its internal layout engine thinks that you've asked a too much ugly bar break, but that disgraceful situation usually occurs when you try to avoid a break with the \noBreak command. I hope this can be of some use. Gianluca ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Adding parenthesis around slurs or hairpins or whatever else
Hi everybody! I'm trying to copy with Lilypond a nice sheet of music showing many editorial parenthesis around slurs, ties and hairpins. In the attachments, you can see two examples of what I'm talking about. Is there anyone who knows a general way to reproduce these expressions, hopefully without dismantling Lilypond bit by bit? :P I've already tried searching the archive and the regression-tests and tips-and-tricks, but with no results, except for that dirty trick to make dynamics surrounded by parenthesis ( which is a very very very dirty trick because such dynamics are actually markups and so they will never align properly with normal dynamics, but with changing all the default dynamic padding properties etc etc... ) Thank you to everyone.
