Re: Beam slashed on the right

In response to my own question, I see LSR 721 uses just the stem to make a slash, but I now see that by following Thomas Morley’s sketch shown here recently and extending that you can further get the set of stems spanned by a beam and work with that. So I should have a nice function for doing right

Beam slashed on the right

I am trying to write a schem function to put a slahs on a beam on the right by adapting David Nalesnik’s code for the \slash function in LSR 721. The code adds a slash to the stem of the leftmost note. My question is, how does one find the grob properties of the rightmost, last note and its stem in

Re: state-of-the-art for algorithmic hooks and Lilypond+(La)TeX

I guess should throw my own modest contribution into the hat. My Platonic music engine (http://www.platonicmusicengine.com) is algorithmically generated music created to simulate any musical idea. It generates traditional scores using Lilypond and graphical scores using pdfLaTeX. It is written enti

Hi all, It seems it's been a year since I looked at this problem, and I've just figured out some kind of solution. Applying the "optionalTranspose" function (see below) to each voice allows me to globally switch all transposition on and off, so as to achieve either a transposed or concert pitch s

Hi all, the thread "state-of-the-art for algorithmic hooks and Lilypond+(La)TeX" caught my eye because I recently started documenting what I'm studying in music and because I often stumble upon pdf's in imslp, method-books for guitar and piano, which use a lot of text and scores (obviously). In th
