Re: Is lilypond really suitable for composing?

I have always found that nothing beats plain pencil and sheets of staff paper, until I have the basic piece fairly complete. For me, it's clearly faster to make even a second draft on paper than to move at that point to LP and continue from there. I consider fast "hand writing" on staff paper to

Hi All, I would like to be able to get the current bar number context property so that I can do something with it (like printing it in markup for example). I have tried the following scheme function: (ly:context-property 'Score 'currentBarNumber) but it errors out, telling me that Score is not a

Re: Is lilypond really suitable for composing?

I've been using lilypond for a much shorter time, but my impression is that lilypond excels when you know exactly what you want to input. It's also difficult to work on different parts of the score unless you set up some sort of system to break the piece into smaller chunks. So I've been doing

Re: Is lilypond suitable for big composition projects?

In my opinion, Lilypond is excellent for writing sheet music, but not very good for composing. I usually use MuseScore or Qtractor for composing, then (manually) convert it to Lilypond to make sheet music. On 03/22/18 16:35, Jonas Daverio wrote: > That may seem like a stupid question, but I've

Composition tactics are a very individual to a persons habits and skill sets. I use LilyPond for composing intermittently. If it is in my head and needs to be set down it is useful. If I am actively trying to work something out; I work with paper and pencil or pen, as nothing beats that for

Add interval to selection - Frescobaldi snippet

Hi there! I am looking for a Frescobaldi snippet/functionality (Pyhthon script I assume) that would add an interval to a selected note (or selection of notes/chords). Something similar to the transpose function that is integrated, but adding the transposition to existing music to form a chord.

PianoStaff and StaffGroup brackets are truncating single line DrumStaff at top left of staff system.

Hi, I want to create a StaffGroup that includes a single line Staff or DrumStaff at the top. I am having the problem that the left most measure bar line and the brackets of each staff system are being truncated down to the staff line of the single staff. I have tried a workaround by making
