Re: Setting relative pitch as a global declaration?

Hi Alasdair! Two pretty easy options here as transposing a whole lot of stuff is pretty straight forward in lilypond: You could exchange the lines like \new Staff << \global \global_two \global_prelude \prelude_two >> with \new Staff << \transpose #FROM #TO { \global \global_two \global_pre

Hello everyone, the problem seems to be that while layout-set-staff-size does set the relevant sizes it does not change the base unit everything is relative to (and which is relative to the global staff size). So one solutions could be to do something to allow scaling of the base unit on layou

Dear Christian, Many thanks indeed - I hadn't thought of using \transpose for this purpose, although I have indeed used it for other reasons. Several of the initial responses to my query recommended \transpose as well. It still means though that I need a separate declaration for every score blo

Accent size and stem length

2022-02-10 Thread Erika Pirnes
Hi, There are two things that I would like to achieve and haven't yet been able to figure out. One is to globally reduce the accent size. I'm reducing the size of the noteheads, and that makes the accents look ridiculously big. The other thing is to have a more consistent length for stems. In m

From: Erika Pirnes    The other thing is to have a more consistent length for stems. In my minimal example, the stems in the first measure look too short because in both measures they extend to the middle line. Any ideas? I don't know about the accent question.   But as for the stems, th

Thank you Aaron for the 'extra-offset' formula. I will use it. Thank you Jean for the \shape - I also tried to use it and failed; with your example, it makes so much more sense and I begin to understand it.

Hi Erika! To globally reduce the size of all articulations (I think that could be relevant, since many of them will relate to noteheads in a way similar to accents) you can use this next to the override for notehead fint size. \override Script.font-size = #-.5 % or whatever size you want If yo
