Please always tell what LilyPond version you use. Also, it's always a good
idea to include a small but complete example file of what you tried so far.

If nobody knows what to do, could someone tell me how to change global font (used on

Hi Stephen -
I don't know what version you're using, but in 2.6.4 (and probably in other
versions, I'm not sure) you can use the \melisma command in the music to
stretch a syllable over several notes.
Here's an example of something I transcribed a while back from a choral work
(in Lilypond v.
Not long ago I saw a message here that it is a bug. You can turn dynamics
off in the midi in order to get the notes to be heard, albeit without the
crescendi and decrescendi. (They'll still be in the printed output.)
Here's the command:
\midi { \tempo 4 = 84
\context {
\Voice

Hi!

I have a measure in 2/2 time which I have four quarter notes. Below it I

So the notes and lyrics go in a pseudo code fashion would be:

The silent notes will sound properly if you terminate the (de)crescendi
with \! before the next dynamic mark... as in
\relative c'' {
c16\p c c c c\ d e f g\!\f g g g g\ f e d c\!\p c c c c4

Is your file buffer really in utf-8 mode? (you should then see u:-- in

Hi!
I copied your file and convert-ly'd it to 2.7.20 (my version) and compiled
it. I'm first of all wondering if, although you're using a very ancient
hymn (Let all mortal flesh keep silence), you're perhaps writing a new
tune for it? Because the notes you have in there so far bear no

Hi,
I came back to my attempts with the staff-centered dynamics in a piano
score, and while the example I was pointed to in an earlier thread
essentially works, I am still confused about two issues which I don't
understand from the docs either. A test example (v.2.6.3) is at the

As it stands I have a measure where I want to place two pieces of the
