Variables and Repetition

Hi all, I just got started using Lilypond with Frescobaldi, and I'm having a great time. I have been trying to organize the music with variables to make things more efficient, and I am running into a little bit of trouble. This is what happens: I have a repeated figure, and store that figure

Re: SustainPedal on shifted notes (possible bug?)

Thanks Thomas and Kieran, That work-around works perfectly, without uncommenting the " %\override Dynamics.PianoPedalBracket #'shorten-pair = #'(0 . -1) " line (then, there's no need of the trial-and-error method mentioned by Kieran). I tested it on 2.21.0 I don't understand yet if the default

Re: get current bar number

Hi Jan/Wols, Thank you for responding. I have tinkered with \applyContext and cannot get the property out of it to do anything useful with it. Since it always returns music I can't feed it to a markup command or convert it to markup or set it as the value for a property (using a callback or

Re: SustainPedal on shifted notes (possible bug?)

Hello Kieren, sorry to insist again but IMHO this is a bug. Look at the snippet below: all the objects are aligned to the shifted NoteColumn. Only the pedal is not aligned. There's no reason for which it has not to be aligned, and this forces to apply work-arounds in order to put the end of the

RE: SustainPedal on shifted notes (possible bug?)

Paolo, It is possible to input pedal markings with \new Dynamics. This is what I do for my piano scores. I am trying to see how it would work with you example. Mark From: paolo prete [mailto:paoloprete...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2018 10:25 AM To: Mark Stephen Mrotek

Mark, I would like to override the default behviour of the pedal bracket. is it possible to end that bracket at the position of the note's column, instead of extending it for the whole note's duration? Thanks. 2018-03-24 17:32 GMT+01:00 Mark Stephen Mrotek : > Paolo, >

Re: Is lilypond really suitable for composing?

One of my professors suggested sketching a piece on a 4 staff system when composing/orchestrating. I did try doing this in lilypond with the idea that snippets and phrases from each staff would be stored as variables which could then be used in the full score. So sort of working backward from a

Re: Is lilypond really suitable for composing?

Note that I pointed out specifically the play-back feature, which the previous poster said they were relying on to tell them if they had translated to notation correctly. To build the connection between notation and ear, it's better to be making the noises yourself, not getting a computer to do it
