From Ville's printouts, it seems that lilypond crashes in the middle of the processing, but lilypond -V test.ly should reveal more details. Could it possibly be related to in what format the text file is saved. If you use an editor that uses the old Mac convention for line endings, then lilypond mi

Figured bass and leading note

Hi, I'd like to use a "+" sign for some figured bass. How can I do that ? For exemple : 5 7 +6 + 3 The "+" sign means that the leading note is in the chord. I've tried <3 +6> but this adds to sharp next to the "3"

Re: Figured bass and leading note

The current support for figured bass is fairly primitive. However, one feature that's not described in the manual is that you can also include any text strings by enclosing them in double quotes, for example <"+" 7> Unfortunately, I don't see any good support for the +6, since if you use "+6", then

Installation Problems

Dear Sir, May I please ask you for your help with the installation of LilyPond. I followed the instructions on http://lilypond.org/web/download/windows.html for installing LilyPond on my (Windows XP/SP2) computer, but can't successfully convert the test.ly file. In the DOS window there appear

Re: Figured bass and leading note

I think a reference to actual music, far from being off topic, provides a welcome context for lilypond and its purpose. The lilypond documentation starts with the fact that its developers are musicians and there are some examples of complete scores. What pieces or perhaps just the composer, are

Problems with polyphony (rests, dynamics, lyrics, tempo)

Hi all, I recently started using lilypond, and now I'm type-setting two SATB songs for our choir. I put the two files on our server (username: lily, password: pond): http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~reinhold/lyprobs/ I'm using GNU LilyPond 2.4.2 on Debian linux (installed from the snapshots at www.

Re: How to do notes + lyrics in sequence

Just curious about the error messages... You did upgrade to 2.4 already? You did convert the piece with "convert-ly v2_2_piece.ly > v2_4_piece.ly"? btw: Mats, that was a great solution you provided... I did some trying in that direction, but did not get it right... So good of you to provide

Re: Hov to get brackets to show editorial notes and over more staffs.

It seems that nobody has answered yet. The short answer is that there is no direct support for it. However, you can take a look at the example called molecule-hacking.ly in the Regression Tests document at www.lilypond.org w

Thanks for the answer. It was because of the attachments that I didn't send immediately to the list. Using lilypond-snapshot normally gives no problems whatsoever, but I have now noticed that also the 26pt under lilypond-book also gives the same strange output. I'll file a bug report. Greeting
