Different header on each page

2009-11-16 Thread Peter Kaplan
I would like to provide a running text translation across the top of each page of a vocal score I am creating. I assume the easiest way to do this would be with the \header block, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to specify what header to place on each page. If the \header block, is not th

I've committed to making a key for guitar tablature that will show little snippets of tab along with descriptions. How do I do that? Any pointers greatly appreciated;) I understand TAB quite well, and vocal music on lilypond well, as well, but well, don't understand how TAB on lilypond that

I'm using the pianoforte template with centered dynamics, and I'm concerned that the staves are too big. Specifically, when there are dynamics in the staff, the space between the two staves (whatever it's called) is really big, and it looks kind of awkward. I think this is made worse by some notes

1) I cannot reproduce this error. 2) typically the numbered output you see "Interpreting music... [8] [16][24][32][33]" is lilypond's way of telling you where in the music it is. In this case, the error is likely in measure 33. Try compiling everything before measure 33 and add notes until yo

Figured Bass - Alignment - Definitions?

Dear members, maybe it is not the appropriate way, but is there a possibility that anyone could have a look to the figured bass alignment defintions? Neil looked at some definitions (fontsize, y-positioning: see messages form october 21st) to make it look more professional. Can someone give me a

Dear KKLL00B, Thanks for your question. This is a question that is best asked on the lilypond-user list, which is where questions by new *users* are handled. The frogs list is for new *developers*, that is, for people who are trying to eliminate bugs from LilyPond. Anyway, to answer your questi

I would like the ossia staff to be above the main staff, if possible. The line : alignAboveContext = #"main" in the \with section, means that you have to call your main staff "main", if you want that the command has an effect. That seems to work : %% \new Staff = "main" \relative { <

Hi! Is it possible to hide two staff lines of a 5-line staff without losing the ability to differentiate in the way you can with a 5-line staff? I want to have a 3-line staff but use the space in between like I would for a 5-line staff so that I can write e.g. {b} on the middle line of 3 lines {c
