I've been using various SVG programs slurs around lyrics per the attached
snippet. Inkscape, Scribus, and GIMP all do a good job, but each program
has issues with creating multi-page PDF output. I am hoping there is a
neat or sneaky way of doing this in LilyPond so I don't have to go through
I am attempting to use LilyPond in Windows XP with MikTeX but am getting the
following error:

I can tell you what the error means: that some program or other has the PDF
file you're trying to create already open, and so LilyPond can't delete it to
replace it with the new copy. With me, it invariably means that I have it open
in Adobe Reader. Don't know whether this applies in your

Thanks for reporting this; I'll add it to the bug tracker once I've
done a few more tests.
It seems any override for Stem which precedes the nested override
triggers the crash. Looks like there's a bug in

Hello,
How do I italicize a section of text inside \addlyrics?
Something like this, I figured, though this is wrong -
{ c4 c8 c c4 c }
\addlyrics { one \italic two and \normal-text three four }
which surprised me because the following does work -
\addlyrics { one \huge two and \normalsize three
Hi Gerard,
How do I italicize a section of text inside \addlyrics?

Hi List,
I'm trying to figure out this. I have a part in a score that is for
percussion.
I read the manual and I find there is a lot of things done for percussion
notation, but it is not out-of-the-box for contemporary notation as far as I
could understand.
Imagine the very common situation of

I have been trying to get a handle on vertical spacing for a while now

Hi Xavier,
That was kind of my point. I had looked at that page in the manual and
several others, but there is no example of the syntax that Francisco has
provided. The example that is quoted there is as follows:
Example:

top-margin = 3\cm

This should have the form

as stated in the docs.
I have checked the docs and I see nowhere a line that looks

I can't do *this*, I guess. But is there another way to change the

Keep your overrides, just add this before each new one:

Sorry: the instrument that corresponds to each one of this space/lines.

Thank you, Phil and Mats, for your responses. It turns out you are correct;
the error is from having the pdf file open within MikTeX's pdf reader during
recompile.
I chose to use MikTeX because, when I tweak LaTeX(a typesetting language
very similar to LilyPond) files, I don't have to close,
