Hi Andrew, quite risky to bury a mention inside such a thread. But I immediately figured out (sorry for the pun) how that question relates to Kayser, so I at least opened the messages ;-) Please send me (privately) a MWE so I can really see what's necessary and where to put it in the repository

Hi Richard, when I tried that implicitBassFigures declaration, it just printed a zero. But! If I drop the "Staff." part of that declaration, then it works. I'm not sure if that's going to have consequences later on, but I'll try it and see how it goes. Now I have another matter, somewhat more

Hi Andrew, Thanks for your advice. Sadly enough it does not work for me since I do not want the notes to be in fontSize = #4.5, only the marcato mark. For that reason I attached the marcato mark to a hidden note in a separate voice. When I introduce the \override Script.X-offset = #6 and an

Hi Richard and Mark, Mark, thank you for the tip but I understand how continuation lines work. That part's not an issue. My issue is getting an empty line in the second set of bass figures. Richard, if I can dissect the Denomo code a bit (there's a lot of it!), it looks like I need both the

Hi Urs, Am I sure it is not simply an engraving error? I am never sure of anything, but since in this piece of 86 bars it occurs 31 times I think it is unlikely that it is an engraving error. Best regards, Robert On 23 Jun 2017, at 12:35 , Urs Liska wrote: > > > Am

Hi Andrew, The composer is Dirk Schäfer (1873 - 1931), in his time famous, now large forgotten. This is from No 5 of his "Interludes Op. 17". You can see and hear it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycIdo0SK0GQ , starting at 9:13. I think you will recognize that the notation, unusual
