Re: \RemoveEmptyStaves not removing first line

[Susan Buckingham]

Have also used the \override VerticalAxisGroup.remove-first = ##t and can
confirm this works with 2.18.2 when added to score block.

\score {
  <<
\flutePart
\pianoPart
  >>
  \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 22)
 \context { \Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves
  \override VerticalAxisGroup.remove-first
= ##t }
   }
  \midi { }
}

Re: handbell shake

[Susan Buckingham]

I had been trying to use Finale for handbells but kept running into an
issue when I wanted handchimes ( x-notehead) and handbells (regular
notehead). Lilypond has been just the thing - thank you, thank you, thank
you!

I have worked up two templates for when I start a new piece, which are
definitely works in progress. I do have the Finale percussion font on my PC
so I am using the damp symbol (and others) from this font, rather than
building my own.

Both of these should compile on 2.18.2 which is what I have downloaded and
am using.

Re: Do we have a "damp" symbol?

[Susan Buckingham]

I use the handbell damp symbol from the Finale percussion font, which is a
double circle with a large plus symbol overlaid where the arms of the plus
extend beyond the two circles.


_\markup { \fontsize #+4 \override #' (font-name . "Finale Percussion") { 3
} }

Re: trillspann without trill

[Susan Buckingham]

If you set the TrillSpanner.bound-details.left.text = ##f this gets rid of
the "tr"
