Hi all, I guess there are no newsgroups reflecting the lilypond mailing lists at the moment.? If not, should we try to set them up? That would make some things a lot easier. Regards, Stefan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond

Help! I have apparently successfully downloaded Lilypond to my Windows XP PC, but whenever I double click on the desktop icon all I get is the silly "Let's take it for a test drive" window. I'd really like to use your program; and feel silly asking How do I turn the darn thing on? I've tried

If you look at the declaration of slashSeparator (it is in titling-init.ly): slashSeparator = \markup { \hcenter \vcenter \combine \beam #2.0 #0.5 #0.48 \raise #0.7 \beam #2.0 #0.5 #0.48 } You will easily see how to change it. Quoting Ole Schmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: btw, can I change

Line-width, Staff Size, Print Size

What is the relationship between the "digital size" of the line-width and staff height (in Lilypond specs, in the .ps file, and in the .pdf file) and the printed output? Is it true and invariant? If I specify that the line-width = 178 mm, is it truly 178 mm? If I specify a staff height (#(set-g

Hi Kostia, Welcome to Lilypond! =) Without seeing your exact code (Lilypond source file), it is difficult to diagnose the problem. However, I might recommend the following approach: 1. Writing all the music in a very "short" time signature (e.g., 2/4, or even 1/4). 2. Remove all TimeSig

Your example can be reduced to \version "2.11.37" \relative c''' { a8\rest ais4 } which shows the same bug, namely a collision between the rest and the note (which only seems to happen if the pitch is high enough so that the note gets a ledger line). This is a regression against 2.10.33. Strange
