piano fingerings with parentheses
I am trying to offer alternate fingering in a piano piece. My goal is to place the alternate fingerings (4) (2) in parentheses and beneath the regular fingerings 5 3. Here's what I've tried: a_5_4 e_3_2 c e |% 5 and 3 are above 4 and 2 \parenthesize_4a_5 \parenthesize_2e_3 c e | % 4 and 2 are in parentheses, but above 5 and 3 a_5_"(4)" e_2_\markup\tiny{(1)} c e | % Correct position and parentheses; poor appearance A nice bonus would be if I could have the parentheses appear around the pair 5 3 (4 2) -- Be content; it is your birthright. pe...@scriptureoftheweek.com ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

stem direction when crossing staves

Greetings, I have a part which crosses between two staves. I would like the stems to go down when on the upper staff and up when on the lower staff. I have succeeded in the example below, but I would like not to have to type stem direction (or \voiceOne) along with the "\change Staff" each time. Is that possible?

Music before 20th century for horn was written without key signature. Players of the natural horn (no valves) played music transposed to the key of their instruments without key signature. You should write the music a perfect fourth higher than it will sound and omit the key signature. You should include accidentals as they occur. In your example, CornoOne looks correct to me. The harp and the Horns are playing in unison(octaves) for the first 2 notes Be content; it is your birthright.
