I don't know how to put vertical lines around quarters, but for the rest you can try something like the following (until somebody can show a better solution): % \version "2.11.34" \paper{ ragged-right=##t } \score{ << \new Voice \relative e' { \set Staff.instrumentName = "IV " \cadenzaOn \override Stem #'transparent = ##t s4 e4 g \bar "dashed" a\breve \set fontSize = #-2 s4 < \parenthesize g > a\breve \set fontSize = #+2 g4_- a \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(0.7 . 0.0) b^\markup{\fontsize #-7 "/"} < \parenthesize a > \bar "|" \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-offset = #'(0.0 . -7.0) \mark "*" a\breve g4_- a b \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(0.7 . 0.0) g^\markup{\fontsize #-7 "/"} e \bar "||" \cadenzaOff } >> \layout{ \context{ \Staff \remove "Time_signature_engraver" \remove "Clef_engraver" } } } % Bye, Zoltán ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

See sections "Printing stanzas at the end" and "Printing stanzas at the end in multiple columns" in the manual. The section "Overview of text markup commands" may be helpful, too.

Hi Robert, I'm afraid I don't really understand your problem, but if you don't want barlines I recommend to you that you simply use ChoirStaff instead of StaffGroup. Sorry if that doesn't help.

Re: Making a transparant of the created musicsheet
Dear Paul, > For a presentation in PowerPoint I want to create a musicsheet > with bars and and even text witch i can make transparant and > copy/paste to ppt. > Is that and option within Lilypond ? LilyPond can create image files. If, for example, your .ly source is called music.ly you can call LilyPond from the command line as follows: lilypond --png music.ly This will create an image file (.png) instead of a .pdf file. You can set the resolution in DPI with the -dresolution option: lilypond --png -dresolution=150 music.ly Bye, Zoltan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

MetronomeMark alignment
Hi all, I like the new textual description feature of metronome marks. Is there a way to position (align) metronome marks the way it is possible with rehearsal marks? As far as I can see, MetronomeMark doesn't have a self-alignment-X property, nor a break-align-symbols property. I would like to have these...

I'm interested in helping with including Hungarian terms in the Music Glossary! Though I'm not sure how much time I will have for it, but I certainly would like to be part of that work. The question is: Where and in what format should I send the Hungarian terms? I suppose the Music Glossary is made with lilypond-book. Is the source file available?

Stanza number placing question
Hi all, When the lyrics begin with a stanza number, the number doesn't take up space in the score (as it can be seen in the attached example). When the stanza number is in the middle of a line, the number does take up space, moving the notes apart from the previous bar line. This makes sense in most cases, but with no lyrics in the previous measure, it would look better to place the stanza number before the bar line. Is there a way to achieve this? You can see the difference in the center of the attached pictures, right after the repeat sign. Thank you in advance for your answers.

Do you have other solutions? for example, in order every phrase to > start exactly under the corresponding note, and not to be centered? Or other. To left-align the note with the words you have to change the self-alignment-X parameter of LyricText. If the words are too close to each other you can increase the distance between the syllables with the minimum-distance parameter of LyricSpace. For example: %--- \version "2.11.21" \paper{ ragged-right=##t } \relative a' { \time 4/2 a\breve | g1 a } \addlyrics{ \override LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #3.0 \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT Bénis_le_Seigneur_ô_mon_âme A -- men } %--- Zoltán ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Initial Tempo?

Version 2.11 automatically positions the text correctly to avoid collision. However, you can increase the padding property yourself with \override Score.RehearsalMark #'padding = #2.0 In your example: \version "2.10.20" \header { title = "High School of Cello Playing" subtitle = "40 Etudes" subsubtitle = "No. 1" composer = "David Popper" opus = "Op. 73" } \relative c { \clef bass \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-align-symbol = #'key-signature \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'padding = #2.0 \mark \markup{\bold "Allegro molto moderato." } \time 12/8 c8-. c'-. b-. a-. c-. g-. f-. a-. e-. d-. f-. c-. b-. d'-. c-. b-. d-. a-. g-. b-. f-. e-. g-. d-. } Zoltán ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Polyphonic rests
Hello Claus, > Do I have to use \rest {a8} or similar on every single rest? Or can I > configure this somewhere (like \stemDown in the beginning of voice 3)? You can use \override Rest #'staff-position = #0 for "normal" rests (lower case r's) and \override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #0 for whole bar rests and multi measure rests (upper case R's).
