However, the customary thing in this kind of notation is to use breve notes (the modern kind, which has single vertical lines, close to what you have in your example). Exactly! Here's an example: \version "2.10.0" \relative c' \new Voice { \cadenzaOn 4 \breve 4 2 4 \breve 4 } \relative c' \new Voice { \cadenzaOn 4 \breve } We don't have the note head version with double vertical lines, but you can use some tricks to obtain them. To get make the lines extend between the note heads, some more tricks are needed. /Mats Eyolf -- = Mats Bengtsson Signal Processing School of Electrical Engineering Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Sweden Phone: (+46) 8 790 8463 Fax: (+46) 8 790 7260 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.s3.kth.se/~mabe = ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Notating recitative
I don't know how to get the two vertical lines before and after the note/chord that defines the pitches on the recitative section. Is there some command/marking I can attach to a note in the chord so that all lines would be automatically drawn from the lowest note to the highest. Or do I need to draw four vertical lines (bar lines perhaps?) and define their length and horizontal position on the staff? Thanks Ari pe, 2008-10-10 kello 08:46 +0200, James E.

Re: Notating recitative
What aspect of this are you trying to achieve and having difficulty doing so? I don't really see anything special about the two examples provided.
