PS I switch from addLyrics to lyric timing by hand, and I'm getting
better results, but some words are still appearing to start after the
note. Suggestions on this also hungrily solicited.
For me it seems that the lyrics engraver is not good at typography. I
was informed that it was
Try
\property Staff.TimeSignature \set #'break-visibility =
#end-of-line-invisible
to avoid the time signature at the end of the line.

Make sure that the files lilypond.map and feta20.pfa are installed and
belong to the 2.0.0 installation. Also, make sure that the teTeX
filename database is up to date by running 'texhash' as root.
To find out where dvips finds the files, run the following commands:
kpsewhich --format='dvips
Unfortunately, LilyPond itself doesn't realize what is should do with
the line width if you have set orientation=landscape, so you have to
do it manually:
\include paper16.ly

orientation = landscape

I'd like to see a new section in the fine manual: How-Tos.
In specific, I'm looking for something like How to adjust the 'margins'
on output (see linewidth, place it _after_ the \include paper16.ly).
Or How to move the lyrics closer to the notes. Or How to make the
lyrics line up with the first
The file is still upside down. In Acrobat Reader (v6) I have to
rotate the file twice to view it as expected. Can we convince Lilypond
to do differently? I need to e-mail these parts to casual, amateur
singers. I don't want to have to tell them to rotate the parts if we
can get Lilypond to do
To recap part II
I converted from ETF to ly and it wouldn't parse.
The problem doesn't appear to be the notes but the header (in this case

Hi all,
To recap part I of the etf2ly saga
I converted etf2ly and got errors. A 348.ly file was generated.
with eyes closed, I didn't open the resulting lily file to check for
errors, I ran lilypond on the 348.ly and got the following errors.

This, and the problem with the score being glued with instead of

HI are you working on patching etf2ly??
Is there a reason that the header is on the bottom??
My druthers would be that etf2ly should be templateable.
I already know the format I want for my final file it would be nice to
be able to specify a template to use to dump the converted etf2ly output

blame your version of ghostscript (which is used internally in

There is no header in the lilypond files produced with etf2ly. There
is a score block,
All I'm trying to do is solve some issues that I have, in order to see
if I can use etf2ly for any serious work at all.
yeah there is only however one other show in town that is musicxml2ly.
I am in touch with the maintainer who is now revving up to make his

Doable, except that I'm not familiar with any PDF reader under Windows,
Cygwin or Linux that will save the file as having been rotated.
