Rest Collision Bug

2005-01-22 Thread David Raleigh Arnold
There is a rule which is quite obscure now about collision of rests and notes when there are three or four voices on a staff. If there is not enough space between the upper and lower voices for a rest for an inside voice, that rest is placed *before* a stem, *always*, never tucked in under the low

Horizontal beams & reduced beams

2005-01-22 Thread Sebastiano Vigna
To get horizontal beams (I know, they're usually horrible, but essential in drum scores) the manual suggest to set beam damping to 10. I tried even 10, but still they are not really horizontal. Rune Zedeler proposed in 2002 on this list a hack to that purpose, but know it causes Scheme

2005-01-22 Thread Mats Bengtsson
You cannot easily use lilypond-book with TeXLive, but you can use it with the teTeX package in cygwin, which should work just as well unless you use some very specific features of TeXLive. To do this, you should first rerun setup.exe and install the packages tetex-base and tetex-extra, if you haven

As has already been pointed out, Steve's reply was nonsens, since you are using a prebuilt package that should work out of the box. First of all, Riky seems to have been hit by the strange bug that gives version 2.2 as the default version the first time you run setup.exe but the intended version 2.
