I recall making the same "mistake" years ago. Beside the seeing first impression for the bug list, I think there is sometimes confusion to how one uses LP that makes a simple (to us skilled users) issue such as "why don't I see a GUI interface" seem like a potential bug. Maybe it should be st

Hi, I have a metafont font with embellishment symbols (for Scottish tenordrum feathering and flourishing) that I'd like to use in LilyPond. I've used mftrace to convert it to a .pfa type 1 font, but I don't know how to install it and use it in LilyPond. I guess this involves both Pango and LilyPond

If you want it to take less space horizontally, you could set set it in two columns: \version "2.11.63" ganzunten = {\clef bass \textLengthOff \ottava #-1 %es wird zweistimmig! << { \once \override TextScript #'baseline-skip = #2 \oneVoice 1 ~ ^\markup

too much space for text

Dear lilypond-users, in the below quoted example the text takes, in my opinion, too much space, athough I wrote the command \textLengthOff. How can I avoid it? Here is the snippet: \version "3.11.60" ganzunten = {\clef bass \textLengthOff \ottava #-1 %es wird zweistimmig!

Re: Problem with grace note on first beat of first bar

Hi David, James, It was the clef, yes, thank you both. It never even occurred to me that the default treble clef could be treated differently to a \clef treble - but I see now that the key issue was that putting '\clef treble' in the *staff* rather than the *voice* was where things went askew.
