Re: Reducing fingering font size
Hi Nick, IIRC #-6 is the default for fingering numbers. Have you tried e.g. #- 8? Works here! Thomas P.S.: OT: Shouldn't this dance be notated in 2/2 (Alla breve)? It is quite slow in your version. :-) ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Reducing fingering font size
See this thread in the archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/lilypond-user@gnu.org/msg22584.html The default for fingerings is not 0 but -5 (at least it was in 2006 when that thread came up). If you change it to -8, for example, you'll see a difference.

If I use \override Fingering #'font-size = #0 Then the numbers are twice as large as the default, and \override Fingering #'font-size = #-6 gives exactly the same size as no size override, whereas my reading of the documentation (sect 1.7.1 in lilypond.pdf) is that using #0 should give the default size and #-6 should give half that size.

Re: Reducing fingering font size
Nick The default font-size for Fingering is -5 (see the IR), so 0 will be almost twice as large, as you have found. To reduce it, try -7 or -8. (You'd hardly notice the difference at -6.)

RE: Reducing fingering font size
Thanks, you're right. For some reason, I had the idea that I was limited to using values between 6 and -6. Going back and reading the doc again there's no mention of that, so I don't know why or where I get it from. As for 2/2, the couple of publications I've seen it in have notated it as 4/4, and the only commercial recording I have of it is at around 4 = 96. I've just put 4 = 72 to give me a slower midi file to practice against until my proficiency improves.
