Defining user abbreviations

2007-12-29 Thread Alasdair McAndrew
The problem I have is placing a single beam between the fourth and fifth notes of a run of 32nd notes, as in: g32[ a b \set stemRightBeamCount = #1 c \set stemLeftBeamCount = #1 d c b a] But this is rather verbose. How can I define my own commands or abbreviations to do this with less typing,

rb = { \set stemRightBeamCount = #1 } lb = { \set stemLeftBeamCount = #1 } and than: g32[ a b \rb c \lb d c b a] The name of an identifier should have alphabetic characters only: no numbers, underscores, or dashes. The assignment should be outside of running music. see also: 2.18

Thank you Helge, the baseline of the lilypond fragment is now identical with the letter's baseline. Have you got any idea why there is so much horizontal space in between the round brackets and the fragment: ( fragment )? All the best, PLS Hi Ole, I don*t know which platform you use

Rests in Percussion Notation

Hi guys. I'm a new user of Lilypond. I'm notating an old (out of copyright) edition of Bach's Invention 1. I was happy to get through the first 5 bars with remarkably few problems. But I have hit a snag in bar 6. See the snapshot of the original: http://bayimg.com/CaIonAabj In the last 6
