Re: forcing even eighth notes in a single bar
Quoting Kieren MacMillan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: [ v. 2.9.15 ] Hello, all -- I've got a bar of vocal (choral) text which ends up looking a bit uneven: An alternative to the proposals you already have received is to add a setting like \override LyricText #'minimum-X-extent = #'(0 . 5) in your lyrics. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I haven't checked it, but a \newSpacingSection command went in in 2.9.something that should let you create as many different spacing regions in a piece as you want. So it should be possible to have * the first part * a \newSpacingSection using proportional notation for just that one measure * a \newSpacingSection for the remainder of the piece Once again I haven't checked but it should work ... if it does work could you ping the list back? (When you play with the proportional settings, you're setting everything relative to a certain *duration* you can think of as vertical lines, more or less, on graph paper. Therefore, the *smaller* the duration that you pass in, the wider your eighth notes will space; the *large* the duration, the tighter. I recommend starting with a 16th and then try a 20th or 24th ...) -- Trevor Bača [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... like the dew, or like lightning ... ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi Kieren, I've had similar issues in some baroque scores especially with florid melisma's. I'm not familiar with the proportional notation commands, but I' ve found that putting into the bass part hidden repeated 16th or 32nd notes in the bar (depending on the size of the gap you want between the 8th notes) this tends to even out the bar. This might be easier than manually tweaking the individual syllables. Trent ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
