vertical spacing

I'm working on the final touches to a score. It's fairly large. There are 28 staves. There is one place where the score expands vertically due to the vertical density of notes. I've been experimenting with different font sizes to be sure that the score does not stretch off the bottom of the

Re: vertical spacing

I seem to have partially answered my own question. I tried using the example in the docs regarding two-pass vertical spacing and it *did* make a noticeable differenceon most of the pages. On pages where the score was especially sparse the staves were set closer together, disrupting the

Piano Hook for the other Hand

Hi Don't know, how this thing is called. I don't know, if it has a name at all... I'm searching how to do this hook, which says: Play this part of the cord just with the other hand. It's just a small horizontal bar with a stem up or down. How is this thing called and how do I set it with LP?

Re: beginning-of-measure padding value?

Hi, Mats -- This is a typical situation where you want to use \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'average-spacing-wishes = ##f Thanks for that tip -- I'm finally getting it with regard to average-spacing-wishes. However, that doesn't fix the fact that Lilypond's spacing is generally too

keeping rendered pdf file size down

Varying shape note heads varying by semitone

As another step toward in my path toward varying notation in LilyPond, I am varying note shapes by semitone. Usually, there are fewer than 12 note heads, but the semitone of the note determine the shape. My current implementation uses a function shapeLayoutFunction which returns an integer,

Re: Post Install Bug

This probably doesn't answer your question, because I don't know whether you wrote this line or the system did: /usr/local//lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond but there are 2 slashes (//) after local, and there should be just one, or else maybe there should be a bin between the slashes --

LYEDITOR on OS X

I'm interested in trying out TextMate as an editor for Lilypond. Right now, support seems a little thin, but allegedly it's pretty easy to extend. Anyway, I can't figure out how to get point-and-click to open files in textmate instead of lilypad. In my .profile, I added: export LYEDITOR=mate

Measure number collision

I'm having a problem with the measure numbers colliding with the staff tie (not sure of the correct name for the thing that ties two staffs together). I'm running OS X 10.4 . Below is a fairly minimal example that produces the problem for me. If others find the code doesn't create the problem
