Slurs after line break - comments affect layout?

2008-03-06 Thread Risto Vääräniemi
Dear All, I have a piece of music with many slurs and sometimes I need to make a system break during a slur. With the current key (f minor) the default results are usually not that pleasing to the eye. Luckily, I found a Scheme thingy on the mailing list for tweaking the broken slur at the

You have already done lots of tweaks related to the spacing, so are probably aware of that the layout decisions on LilyPond are based on a large number of different considerations and parameter values. I admit that you have very tight spacing around some bar lines, for example in the beginning

Idea for improved automatic beaming

2008-03-06 Thread Mats Bengtsson
Hi, Based on the recent discussions on automatic beaming, I got an idea on a possible improvement/simplification. Currently, a setting like #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 16 4 4) 1 4) means that beams are ended on the first beat if the beamed notes are 16th notes. What if we changed the

My experience of final touches in general is that on the average you have to repeat the final touch at least 3 times, since you found some other minor detail you wanted to fix so that you had to rerun the full process again. Therefore, I personally prefer to spend more time on fixing the

The list of predefined beaming patterns is far from complete, as you have noticed. The default rules are also a mix of general rules, for example that a beam is always ended on the third beat in 4/4 meter, and specific rules for certain note lenghts, for example that beams with 32nd notes are
