Is there a simple solution for forcing punctuation to appear at the end of a melisma? I have only been able to do this by specifying the note/time value of each syllable; not only is the method cumbersome, but it also produces incomplete melismas. (I am using v2.1.8 with Mac OS 10.2.8, installe

I see that you use an older (1.8.2) version of LilyPond. So it is true it doesn't allow directory names with spaces. I recommend using the actual 2.0.1 version. AFAIK it allows spaces in directory names and has important new features. Bert > -Original Message- > From: Malcolm & Dorothy [m

centering objects on (over) barline

[ Mac OS X 10.2.8; Lilypond 2.0.1 ] Howdy! Is there any way of centering something on/over a barline explicitly (i.e., as opposed to putting it over a note and then using extra-offset to guess at the distance, which might change depending on layout)? There are lots of situations I can see nee

Sounds strange! How do you process the .ly file? Do you just double click on it or do you use the Cygwin command window?
