The accent symbol, just as the note heads, clefs, other articulations
and many other things, are typeset using a special font that's included
with LilyPond (see appendix The Feta font in the user manual). This

Could lilypond be used for this? Or could it at least be sped-up
considerably (perhaps with a tradeoffs)?--faster than the 1 or 2 seconds it
currently takes to generate an image.
The main problem is that each time you compile a score, it builds it

Hello,
I'm new to using Lilypond, and Finale for that matter. I'm trying to decide
which is better.
So far, what I like about Lilypond is that I seem to be able to do just
about anything I want ... except this: I like the \box option around a text
markup, but
As others have pointed out, it's much easier to provide a relevant
answer if you include some .ly code that you tried yourself.
Using the example in the manual (section Text marks) as a starting
point, you can certainly move around the D.S using padding, for example:

Right, there's no such function in LilyPond by default, but it's very
easy to add one. I just added an example in our snippet repository,

I've heard/used tuplets since the mid 1980s when I first started learning
music. However, I've always understood it to specifically mean 'two in the
time of x', probably as a mispronounciation of 'duplets' by confusing it
with 'two' (two-plets - I grew up in Norfolk!).
This specific usage is why

In what context do we actually need to use this generic term? Surely we

As Mark Knoop wrote, (indeed das) Tupel is normally a vector and

For the German tuplets named Duole, Triole, Quartole, Quintole/Pentole

Ask google, or ask an expert. Make sure you are consistent, then
changing it later is easier. Possibly you can discuss on the mailing

We currently use `makeinfo --html' to build the online documentation.
Makeinfo is the normal way to create texinfo docs, but it lacks many
useful features. Most importantly, it can't create HTML pages split
into subsections; it only creates split output based on nodes.
