2004-01-01 Thread chip
Can a group of notes, maybe the verse, be assigned to a constant? Then the chorus could be assigned to another constant. That would save re-typing all the same notes over several times. Just call the constant at the appropriate time. I thought I had seen this in the manual but now cannot find it

6/4 rests

Hi all, I just enter a trio which has a number of time changes. When I have rests in 5/4 or 6/4 measures, like measures with whole rest or combos that equal a whole measure lilypond reads them as one large measure and make the dvi also that way: 6/4 r1| r1 | r1 | r1 | r1 | becomes 6/4 r1 r1 r

r1 is a rest of length 1 (= 4/4), but you want 6/4. Try R4*6 for a single rest which fills the measure. On Thu, 1 Jan 2004, Aaron wrote: > Hi all, > I just enter a trio which has a number of time changes. When I have > rests in 5/4 or 6/4 measures, like measures with whole rest or combos > th

First of all, let me say how much I love Lilypond. I downloaded it a couple of days ago and immediately fell in love. Every other notation program I've tried has made me rip my hair out and go back to pencil and paper. I do have a couple of questions, though... When I run "lilypond", the resul

I understood from the docs that R was used for multimeasures rests. 1 is a whole note so I guess you are right I would need to have a rest equal to 1+2 so this makes sense now. I will check if it works in the morning. 1:30 am here, Thanks Aaron ___ Lily
