Re: Scheme: Syntax for storing a variable in an alist

Hello Aaron, This makes sense. I'll need to be more watchful of mixing Scheme and LilyPond syntax. That's why I couldn't find anything about dot notation the guile manual! Thank you for the snippet. That is helpful should I need to nest any deeper. Many thanks, mattfong On Sun, Oct 18, 2020 at

Hi Bart, I'm away from my computer so I can't verify what I'm about to say, but I think that once a note is beamed it is actually the beam that controls the lengths of the stems. I think you need to override the Beam's positions property (if memory serves) to accomplish what you want. Kevin On

How To Selectively Show a Staff

In a score where "RemoveAllEmptyStaves" is set, a staff will normally not show in a system where it has all rests. Sometimes, you may *want* a staff (temporarily) to appear on a specific system, even though it contains all rests. What’s the command or setting to do this? -- Marc Shepherd

Hi, I have a multi-section piece, with a master .ly file that uses \include for each of the sections of the piece. Each included file more or less follows the pattern of the string quartet template that ships with Lilypond: a series of macros, one per voice, followed by a \bookpart section that
