Fixed number of bars per line

2008-11-20 Thread seppo silaste 
How can I get a fixed number of bars per line (eg. 4)? I'm trying to 
create empty sheets for writing down (by hand) 12-bar jazz-blues guitar 
chord progressions.


regards: Seppo

A quick and dirty solution:

\time 4/4 \repeat unfold X { s1 s1 s1 s1 \break }

where X is the number of lines you want to get.

Hi all,


A quick and dirty solution:
\time 4/4 \repeat unfold X { s1 s1 s1 s1 \break }
where X is the number of lines you want to get.


To be absolutely sure it doesn't break incorrectly, I think you'd  
have to use


\repeat unfold BARNUMS { \repeat unfold BARSPERLINE { s1  
\noBreak } \break }


Also, you might want to \remove the time signature engraver.

HTH!
Kieren.
