Re: OOoLilypond instilation problems and coding help

Hi Levi, The example drum notation you give shows how to use the short form of polyphonic notation when entering percussion, with the DrumVoices "instantiated by hand first". You might find verbose polyphonic notation easier to use; both forms are given here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/D

Re: Fwd: convert text encodings (was: Old LilyPond versions)

Please note that convert-ly automatically will convert latin1 to UTF-8 if the input file is older than version 2.5.13. It will not handle any embedded TeX commands, but my guess is that in many of the cases, the embedded TeX commands will have to be replaced by some appropriate \markup command or

Mensurstriche is a way to include (or a substitute for) "bar lines" for sources that didn't contain them, but without splitting the notes and/or rests that are "syncopated" over the bar lines the editor wants. By the way, is "mensurstriche" the established English term? I have no idea, bu

This is certainly a very important issue. However, for the changes between 2.10 and 2.11 (and the coming 2.12), very few affect the actual syntax and convert-ly should handle them very well. Compared to some earlier version upgrades, you should expect a very smooth procedure. The main exception
