Re: Tidying Score

[Richard Chonak]

The first line is indented because of the default indent setting.  You can
control this in the \layout block.  For example:

\layout  {
   indent = 1\cm
}

If you specify a zero, then omit the units and enter simply:  "indent = 0".

If you have two \score objects in a single .ly file, each one has its own
\layout specification.

This is a good idea ;-)


Im getting this problem where
my staves arn't lining up how can I fix this?



It's not completely clear from your screenshot, but: are this two 
separate \score {} blocks?


It looks like it, and you are seeing the default indentation classical 
scores tend to have.


If you add

\paper {
  indent = 0
}

to your file the "problem" should go away.

Welcome to the Pond! In general, starting out with LilyPond gets a lot 
easier if you work your way through the Learning Manual – it takes a 
while to understand, but it will save you a lot of misunderstandings.


Best, Simon

One more thing, I don't know how you have the score setup above the 
screenshot you shared (scrolled up code), but in a very *very* basic way 
you can line up things by just doing simultaneous staves like this:



\version "2.19.80"

{
  <<
    {
 \new Staff
 \time 5/4
 c'' d'' e'' f''

    }
 \new Staff
 {
 \time 5/4
 c'' d'' e'' f''

 }

 \new Staff
 {
 \time 5/4
 c'' d'' e'' f''

 }

 \new Staff
 {
 \time 5/4
 c'' d'' e'' f''

 }

>>
}

That looks like you're creating a new score for the third line. It has 
indentation, no measure number, a new clef without a courtesy clef, etc.. It 
looks like you intended to place both staves in parallel inside a PianoStaff, 
but you've somehow put them in different \score blocks instead.

Hi Vivyan,

Can you please share the code of your working file so we can see how 
you're setting up the score exactly? It's pretty difficult to see the 
whole picture from just the snapshot you attached.


You can control the staves and alignment quite easily with certain 
blocks of code, reply back with a minimal amount of code so we can help you.




PS. I remember how much fun rotational arrays were back as an 
undergraduate ;)
