OLL is something that I have occasionally looked into, and something that I am reassured to know is there: it is something that I hoped to use more in the future. I do use notation-fonts. I have not used ScholarLy, Edition-engraver and Analysis so far on occasions when, in hindsight, it would ha

Hi again, Of the many exciting developments discussed in Salzburg, one of the most intriguing [to me] was the idea that OLL might be made into a “full-class citizen of the ’Pond”. Evidently, part of the problem of increasing uptake is the “difficulty” [always a relative term!] of installing an

I’m mostly with Damian here – I’m excited by your (Urs’ et al.) work, and I always wanted to look at least into the notation fonts, but will probably never need any of the more sophisticated functions. My personal needs seldom go further than song and choir sheets, and so far I rarely got custo

I agree with Kieren. A “Help” button in Frescobaldi that could show you documentation about each feature would be great. I find it easier to just go and search the LSR (which gives relevant results to what I’m trying to do, with each snippet documented and exemplified), than trying to know what

Hello fellow LilyPonders, I was engraving a piece of chant in modern notation recently, and discovered that none of the custodes will draw a ledger for middle C (C4) or A5, notes beyond the 5-line staff. These notes do occur in chant and polyphony. Is there a workaround for this? Or have I missed
