Unfortunately, this is a bit of a problem with the Debian world. Outdated and (relatively) proven is given more importance than up-to-date -- even if the up-to-date software is better, more stable, and much more desirable. Because of dependency chains, installing the official 2.6.3 .deb from

Hello all, I recently upgraded to 2.7.13 from 2.4.4 because I wanted to try some of the new features of the newer versions, esp. "suggestAccidentals", which is a great improvement for me. I am really happy! (Now I can listen to my midis from full-of-musica-ficta renaissance pieces...) I also agree

All the problems you see are symptoms of the same bug, which seems to be solved in version 2.7.x (the only remaining problem in 2.7.x is that you have to explicitly add a \voiceOne or \stemUp between the appoggiatura and the main note, for some reason. /Mats liang seng wrote: To whom it may

Read at the bottom of http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Horizontal-spacing.html#Horizontal-spacing how to add some extra spacing after the note. Hopefully, the remaining measures of the line will be compressed correspondingly so it still fits on the line. /Mats

See "Creating MIDI files" in the manual. To quote this instruction, the \midi{...} block should be included at the end of the \score{...}: \score { ...music... \midi { \tempo 4=72 } } In your example, the final curly brace of the \score{...} block is missing, but you should try a structure l

Forwarded to bug-lilypond! Is really the autopackage compiled against libc 2.3.4? If it should work on "almost any Linux system", then it has to be compatible with older versions of libc. On Debian stable, for example, libc has version 2.3.2. /Mats Roland Goretzki wrote: Hello list,, I wro
