2007-09-29 Thread Till Rettig
At least for the German translation I had really problems finding a word for that -- I think it is still untranslated... Is there any real term for this that could then also be translated easily? On the other hand -- so far we have this term, so it really should show up in the glossary if

I would buy the manual in a nice spiral book, perhaps the sales could be used to pay developers. The cost of printing and binding the PDF at my local office store is not cheap, and I'd much rather have the money go to the devs. and to the doc writers. If you guys could work something out and

Hello everybody, hello Nicolas, (by the way: many thanks for handling the \smallCaps bug) I'm editing (as a small book) the libretto of my opera, and I thought it would be just great if I could do this using LilyPond, particularly thanks to the \markuplines etc commands. I know I'm not the only

Hello all, I'm trying to typeset a song that has two lyrics with different melismata in the same melody. I've found that the Devnull context may help, but I don't know why the lyrics associated to it appears with a slight displacement to the right (see attached PNG). % \version 2.11.32 one = {
