Re: line-breaking issue

I tried setting systems-per-page to 10. It gave the same error as setting system-count to 20, and ran off the page. 3 measures per line is less than ideal, but it's readable. I'm typesetting an etude book and am trying to avoid having fold-out pages as much as possible. On Sun, Aug 9, 2020, 02:4

Greetings Ahanu, What happens if you set the systems-per-page variable to 10 instead of using system-count = 20? Does the music then spill over onto a third page? Just from experience, it seems that 48 sixteenth-notes per line would get rather cramped, no? I usually use 32-40 16ths per line as my

Hello, An étude I'm typesetting needs to fit on 2 pages with reasonable vertical space. Normally, I'd just set system-count in \paper (in this case, 20 systems in 2 US letter pages), but this time it says "warning: cannot find line breaking that satisfies constraints" and just runs off the page. I

That's a pity, I guess, but seeing that you're manually putting a mid-bar break, it makes sense to manually mark the needed accidental as well. I guess I never wondered how to further customize the available accidental styles other than adding the occasional exceptional accidental. El El sáb, 8 ag
