autolinebreaks in measureless music

2007-09-07 Thread Wilbert Berendsen
For certain (measureless) church music (e.g. Genevian Psalms) I set Score.timing = ##f so there are no barlines. But then lilypond tries to put everything on one line. Is it possible to have lilypond automagically break lines so I don't have to put \bar everywhere to manually create places for

That's a bug, which unfortunately seems to survive also in the latest stable version. According to http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=349 this bug was fixed in version 2.10.25, but it's clearly present in 2.10.29. In the latest development version, 2.11.32, on the other hand,

I'm pretty certain that we won't have any stable releases for the next two weeks, and 2.12 will be coming out soon after that. Therefore I don't think it's worth re-opening this bug. Julian, could you try using 2.11.32? Rune, don't worry; your fix was included in 2.11. Cheers, - Graham

another harp question

2007-09-07 Thread Christopher A. LaFond
Hi All, Another question about harp notation. The usual way to indicate that a harp string is to be plucked as a harmonic is to add a small, empty circle above or below that note. It would be similar to a staccatto mark, but a bit bigger, and not all black. I see that this type of circle is
