Re: I want ledger lines in middle of staff, or dashed staff lines

2007-02-20 Thread Mats Bengtsson
As far as I can see from the implementation, the ledger lines are only typeset if the note pitch is outside the staff, so some C++ hacking would be needed to get a clean solution for you. It should be possible to fool LilyPond, though, by typesetting the note heads one octave too high (for

Of course it should, but probably not the current \bin\ folder but a folder that only contains wrapper scripts to lilypond, lilypond-book, midi2ly, ... which call the real programs from a directory that's not in the PATH. This is the way it's done in the Linux installers. /Mats Bertalan

Putting these into the path would also not help. - you can not run convert-ly.py - you must use python convert-ly.py - But if you do, you must say: python c:\program files\lilypond\usr\bin\convert-ly.py So you didn't gain much. Still I don't see it is useful. Perhaps we should look at the

I was thinking a bit more. Installing and uninstalling LilyPond itself should remain separate from jEdit. So there should be one installer that separately installs the two. Bert ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org

Thanks. I'm starting to go with some C++ hacking. I can get the extra ledger lines as long as I don't need them, when the note is outside of the staff and normal ledger lines are created, as you mentioned. I haven't yet lied to LilyPond about whether the note is outside the staff, but I'll
