Lyrics, barlines and whiteout

2008-05-08 Thread Kim Bastin
I'm a pretty new Lilypond user, about a week old in fact, so please be gentle. As a learning exercise I have been entering a keyboard arrangement of one of Reger's Geistliche Gesänge, including the lyrics, which I had previously done in Sibelius (opening bars appended as Morgengesang.ly). I

I was going to say that I didn't see a problem with doing the file without the bar lines in the text and removing the bar engraver, and then I realised that you're using 2.10.33. While I can't speak for that version, in 2.11, it works fine without the workaround. I would highly recommend

Lyrics and slurs and articulation

Hi! How would I use a different articulation for the score and the lyrics? I'm writing a score for a jazz standard. On the three first notes of the theme are to be played legato, but with a sylable on each note. I tried a phrasing slur, but then it collides with an articulation (I'm using

Thanks for your reply. I went with 2.10.33 as the stable version, but if 2.11 is usable, I might try it. Is it possible to have both coexisting on the same system? (Windows XP) I removed the \markup {...} construct from the first line of lyrics and removed Bar_engraver from the Lyrics context.

in 2.11, the text is typeset between the bars. That is, the text fits between the bars, and there's no need to white out part of the bar line to accommodate the text. Am 08.05.2008 um 12:08 schrieb Kim Bastin: Thanks for your reply. I went with 2.10.33 as the stable version, but if 2.11

Percent repeats

Greetings - I'm working on Repeats for the GDP (yep, still). Currently, Short Repeats includes percent repeats and tremolos (for strings, tremolos include both fingered and bowed tremolos). Percent repeats is not a term I have heard outside of LilyPond, and if I were looking for those repeats,

I see. Version 2.10 will do this too, if you uncomment the lines \consists Separating_line_group_engraver \override BarLine #'transparent = ##t But it's not what I want: I'm specifically trying to get the masking-out behaviour, without having to apply it syllable by syllable. (No

Try a ChoirStaff instead of a GrandStaff. I know I've never had your problem with ChoirStaff, and unless you really, really need the bar lines running between staves for some reason, things will work a lot better. ___ lilypond-user mailing list

I would propose the following solution, which automatically adds the white box around every syllable. It works by redefining the function that typesets each LyricText object. To make it work in version 2.10, I copied (and slightly modified) a couple of functions that are predefined in version
