Spacing of dotted notes

2005-02-02 Thread Yuval Harel
Hi, I've noticed Lilypond pads dotted notes on the left when shifting them in polyphonic contexts. This seems strange to me. Is this behavior intentional or is this a bug? \version "2.4.2" { \set Score.timing = ##f \clef bass << {e8 s4.} \\ {e2} >> << {e8 s8 s2} \\ {e2.} >> <

the example at the end of my post assumes that the notes you entered are at sounding pitch. you would just do everything in the opposite manner if you enter a Bb part and want to see a C part printed. josiah ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user

I'll attempt to clarify again: \transposition is something that allows midi to know how the music has been transposed so that when you listen to a midi file, you hear what you wrote, not what the transposed notes look like. \transpose actually transposes the notes in the music. so, if you want t

My apologies; I replied in haste. The original question was about \transposition and my reply was about \transpose. (The difference being that my notes are entered at concert (sounding) pitch, and \transpose is then used to produce a transposing part.) Wol's follow-up at 10:18 GMT introduces a c

You cannot run lilypond from a Windows command prompt, you have to run it from the Cygwin command prompt, which you open by clicking on the "Cygwin" icon or start menu item. However, the easiest way to process the file on a Windows machine, is simply to double click in the .ly file, as described at

First of all, there is normally no reason to run the lilypond command from the command line in Cygwin, you can simply double-click on the .ly file in Windows, as described on the downloads web page.
