Moving guitar fingering orientations

I'm trying to get my fingering indications below the noteheads using \set fingeringOrientations = #'(down), but they remain resolutely above the beam. I also tried (left) and (right) with no change either. My two bar test input and output are attached. Can anyone tell me why this isn't working? I'm

Lyrics of a Voice above the Staff of the Voice

Hello together, I'm working on a sheet where the lyrics of the Soprano are set above its staff because the staff is shared with the Alto which has lyrics differing from those of the Soprano at some positions (which I read by using \skip). As far as I have 4 stanzas, using markups is not a usable w

Review of NR 1.5

Hi Francisco I finally got around to reviewing NR 1.5 Simultaneous notes, which I believe you previously edited. The main changes I made are: - add section on Simultaneous expressions to 1.5.1 - clarify Single-staff polyphony in 1.5.2 - various miscellaneous other tweaks I've just pushed the

Yes; use a music function. See the docs. Cheers, - Graham On Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:51:33 +0200 "Stefan Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Lilypond users, > is there possibilitiy to add the rests in the below quoted example > not by hand but automatically? > > \version "2.11.49" > restmus

Re: Headword for unfretted-strings

Many thanks, David. This looks promising. In addition I've reduced the global staff size to 15, as Graham suggested. For now I've left the midi out. If it is to be used it has to go in all the headwords for consistency, and as there is opposition (as well as support) to this it will need more

Re: Headword for unfretted-strings

I agree with you, Trevor. The MIDI block should go in for the sake of the readers, not for the sake of those building docs. I'm a fairly experienced user now, but when I was starting out it gave me fits trying to get the MIDI block in the right place and I would definitely have appreciated th

Lilypond midi to stdout?

Hi, I'm using Lilypond to print the results of an algorithmic music program written in Python. I'm looking for a way to play the results as they are produced (i.e bar by bar), and it occurred to me that simply playing Lilypond midi files with a midi player would do the trick. However, I can'

Well, the link to version 1.3.117 is http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/sources/v1.3/lilypond-1.3.117.tar.gz , but it's only the source, so you'd have to build it yourself. But, you're probably better off either using the pdf on mutopia, or updating the file yourself. On 08.10.2008, at
