Hi Ted, try replacing bottommaragin with bottommargin :-) Thomas I have been typesetting some renaissance choir music with beautiful results, except for the overall page layout. It would be great if the manual could have some more information about page layout and complete working

Re: Stemming for hymnal

The best solution is probably to use a Scheme function similar to the one used in the implementation of \partcombine, that looks at the duration of the notes in the two voices and combines the notes into chords if they have the same duration and into separate voices if the durations differ. Maybe

This thread inspires a feature request. In v 2.4.3, simple MultiMeasure rests can only be scaled piecewise. Please implement font-size for MultiMeasureRest so it is effective for simple rests as well as church rests. If this is not possible, at least add length of the vertical end lines and

Title: Scheme incompatibility This code works: % \version 2.4.3 size = #3 \score {{\relative c'' { \override NoteHead #'font-size = \size c }}} % Change the number to size = #3. and it doesn't work.

What's weird is that fractional numbers are accepted if you specify them directly, for example \override NoteHead #'font-size = #3.5 /Mats Fairchild wrote: This code works: % \version 2.4.3 size = #3 \score {{\relative c'' { \override NoteHead

Re: FW: MultiMeasureRest font-size

Can you motivate a situation where it is interesting to change that size. The (vertical) length of the end lines is now determined as twice the separation between two staff lines, according to normal typesetting practice. If you change the size of the stave itself, this length should
