Re: PDF Problem (SVG output)

I would second/ third a request to get the SVG output fixed. I'm trying to create SVG output at the moment. I've used all the help I could find in the manual and in previous threads, and still some symbols (in this case the TextScript font and normal text in a DynamicScript) are showing in the w

moving system braces or brackets

Does anyone know how I could move initial braces or brackets from thebeginning of a piece to after the incipit or prefatory stave? I also want to change the order of clef and time signature in one stave of a system, but can only change it on all staves - any ideas? Sally Payne ___

repeat barline problem in StaffGroup

Hello all, I have a problem with a repeat barline in a StaffGroup and a PianoStaff. It looks more or less like this: |: |: |: So there is this double dot also between the staves. It only happens two times in my score but I have no idea why. In the attachment I extracted the horns from

Hi PabloZum, Do you know how I can change the ChordNames defautl font? The code included below works fine for me. Hope this helps! Kieren. __ \version "2.11.27" harmonies = { \override ChordName #'font-name = #"Times" \chordmode { a1 b c } } \score {

How to screen-optimize stems

Hehe, I found out there is a really simple solution of how to make stems look nice in acroread. In all its simplicity, add \paper { blot-diameter = 2 \pt } :-) Now all stems appear to have same thickness in acroread. Unfortunately it does not work with bar-lines, though. -Rune ___

Re: How can I change the ChordNames font?

Thank you, Kieren. I'm actually using OooLilyPonder on OpenOffice, so I had to adapt the code you sent me to get a working result: << \new ChordNames { \override ChordName #'font-name = #"Times" \set chordChanges = ##t \chordmode { a1:9- c:m7 } } \new Voice = "one" { \autoBeamOff

Colliding fret-diagrams

I'm trying to notate some rapid chord changes with \fret-diagram but the diagrams are overlapping each other. Presumably this is because the widths of the chord diagrams aren't affecting the layout of the melody notes that I'm attaching the \fret-diagrams to. What is the best way to remedy this?

Re: repeat barline problem in StaffGroup

This seems to be a bug that only happens when you use \bar "||:" and the bar is not at a line break. A workaround is to only use \bar "||:" when it's absolutely necessary, i.e. at line breaks (where the bug doesn't show up). You can use forced line breaks (using the \break command) to ensure that

Re: Colliding fret-diagrams

Hi Rob: I think I want something like \fatText, but perhaps there's a better way. Can anyone suggest something? Suggestion (untested): for each note that has a colliding fret diagram above it, explicitly set its #'X-extent to compensate (i.e., provide padding). Hope this helps (i.e., w

Re: Colliding fret-diagrams

Hi Kieren, Thanks for the suggestion. I did the following and it sorta worked: chrest = \once \override Rest #'X-extent = #'(0 . 5) chnote = \once \override NoteColumn #'X-extent = #'(0 . 6) I then put \chrest before a rest that has an associated chord change, and similarly \chnote before a no

Re: Colliding fret-diagrams

Hi Rob, I think it's just that I don't understand what the X-extent really controls. It controls how wide Lilypond thinks a given object is. It looks like each diagram needs to have an adjustment specially tailored for it, which isn't very convenient. Ugh. I wonder why fret-diagrams are

Re: Colliding fret-diagrams

Hi Ed, considering how complex a process creating musical notation is, I find it amazing that LP does what it does. No question: I would never go back to Finale (or any other notation application, for that matter). you have to kludge a few things to get what you want. Yes, but... I get

Mats, how do you do this in Jedit. I've tried to find out but still have not figured it out. Do you need the Lilytool plugin for jedit? Peter Mats Bengtsson-4 wrote: > > Just make sure to save the file using UTF-8 encoding > and simply insert the symbol directly into the file. > There should
