Re: Optional Notes (Small noteheads)

Though that should work (and does work in most cases), it doesn't seem to work for chords. No matter which way I change the size of the notehead (I've tried \set, \tweak, \tiny) it either sets all the notes in the chord to tiny or normalsize. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks! :) Marcus

Hi Marcus, There must be a better way to do this, though. Not sure about better, but here are a couple options: \version 2.11.23 theMusic = { c''^\markup { \italic Variation second. } c''^\markup { \translate #(cons 0 1) { \hspace #0 \italic Variation second. } }

Hi, in 2.11.26 when there are many ties, some have positioning errors. 2.10 has no problems, but for many other improvements I'm already dependent on 2.11.x :) This is an excerpt, attached a PNG which shows that some ties are drawn too long. Must I report this as a bug? \version 2.11.26 rh =
