I like to think my example is a good template for most 2 staff SATB choral

I have recently started using Lilypond to typset quite a lot of songs and have a

When a key signature has been entered, it would be great if the notes could
automatically be recognised as they would appear on the page, for example in the

Hi Karen,
appears without an accidental sign before it. That's OK for notes needing
accidentals, but in keys with 2 or more sharps or flats it's a lot more
typing!!
if you want to save typing, you can always use your text editor's search and
replace after you put in all your notes. Maybe even

Hi,
I have some question about the tag command.
Here is what I would need and I'm not sure whether it
is even possible (so far I haven't been succesfull
trying to make it work):
Let's say I have 4 different tags: one, two, three and
four. The expressions tagged #'one and #'two are

I'm finally doing some serious printing of the 70 pages of lilypond scores

One of the suggested fixes was to adjust the BarLine space-alist next-note
entry to have a minimum-space of maybe 2.5. I tried this and it fixes the
problem of accidentals touching the barline, but it makes notes that do not
have an accidental float too far from the bar line, it also breaks the

Nice!
I hope you know that you can remove the \book{ and the
corresponding ending brace, since LilyPond implicitly
adds a \book block around any .ly file that doesn't
explicitly contain one.
/Mats
So what's the use of the \book?
Hi Jan,
I do this like this:
\new Staff
\context Voice =A \keepWithTag #'one \music
\context Voice =A \keepWithTag #'two \music
\new Staff
\context Voice =B \keepWithTag #'one \music
\context Voice =B \keepWithTag #'four \music

Hi, Luc:
So what's the use of the \book?
Every new \book will generate a new output file (e.g., PDF).
That way, a single Lilypond file might generate a full score PDF, and
several individual part PDFs, simply by wrapping each intended output
into its own \book block.
Hope this helps!

I would like to reduce the space between the title and the top of the first
page.
Changing top-margin, head-separation, and page-top-space all work, but they also
change the layout for subsequent pages, which I do not want.
Is there a way to change the margins for one page only? Or, perhaps
Hi, Bruce!

You can always use
title = \markup { \raise #5 My Title Is Higher!!! }
adjusting the \raise parameter as desired.
Hello Rick, hello Kieren,
have a look - this might actually work with acceptable editing effort.
It's _almost_ fully automated. You only have to know your total amount of
bars. Of course, if the time-signature changes, this must be adjusted in the
accidentalSpacer variable also.
Cheers,
Markus

The documentation for \partcombine says that there are two voices, named
one and two. Why
In the score I am typesetting, glissandi are notated as a given pitch
and duration (say, a4) followed by a straight line and then a small
stemless notehead at the final pitch. How can I do this with Lilypond?
Furthermore, the duration of the first note decides the length of the
entire glissando,
Is there some way to use \lyricsto to attach some lyrics to a voice that
is being mangled together with another voice by \partcombine? The
Devnull trick produces workable results, but they aren't pretty.
It looks like way back in the 1.9.8 days some thought was given to this,
but the example in
Here a fully automated function called accidentalSpacer which taks two
parameters:
1. the time signature (to obtain barlines)
2. a music variable to calculate the total amount of bars
The example shows the behaviour in 4/4, 2/4 and 1/4 time signatures.
If someone knows how to derive the
To typeset hymns with the same high quality that lilypond brings to

What would it cost to make the chord-threshold variable in

As Bret Whissle found out 2 years ago, the threshold of 8 is too small

Hi,
Sane engraving rules position lyrics vertically below dynamics.
Is there a way to reverse this, ie, to position dynamics vertically
below lyrics? (The lyrics in this score aren't lyrics at all, but
another stratum of information showing a different musical parameter
altogether.)
