Re: making a book with LilyPond

Hello Frederico, you can use \bookpart : \book { \bookpart{ \tocItem ... \header { title = ... } } \bookpart{ \tocItem ... \header { title = ... } } } If you surround every piece with a bookpart-statement, you dont need to p

Re: linking render frames in Scribus

If you want multiple page PDFs in Scribus, you can do so. You only need as many image frames as the number of pages in the PDF, then put the same PDF into the image frames, and set the "Page" attribute of the image. With "Render frames" you lose syntax highlight, sytnax checking etc., so for l

Re: Accidentals: Unwanted naturals

You can either choose to learn that rule or you can write an extension to make LilyPond do it another way. A sed script to do it was almost trivial, even for me. So then why not (re)write it in Scheme and contribute the function/ tip to the Lilypond community, so that others could benefit

Dear Christian, I checked out your code and all you have to do is add a dot after the g2 to give the value of a dotted minim (half-note). Thanks for the code, as I've never used \improvisationOn. Yrs, Fred. > Hi there, another problem. I hope people don't get too impatient with > me. I try to fig

Hi James, Is it possible to get a tempo definition like \tempo 8*5 = 100? Do you want it displayed somehow, or simply defined? If the latter, simply say \tempo 8 = 500. If the former, you'll need to be more specific about how you want the display (e.g., with notes in markup, or whatever).

Hi David, Likewise if you use TeX, or a high-dollar word processor, and you type "there" the program isn't going to know if you should have typed "their" or "they're". Perfect analogy! I was looking for one, but couldn't come up with it — kudos! Regards, Kieren. __
