Re: Tweaking the string number: no circle, and to the right?

Many thanks indeed for that heads-up! But I have another problem, in that I'm typesetting my chords as per the practice of the time, which was to have the stem of the upper note up, and the stem of the lower note(s) down. I have done this using voices, and a simple function to save typing: chord

Hello, I am working my way through a manuscript from 1607 for viols (originally in tablature), trying to typeset it in modern notation. For completeness, I also want to have a tablature score as well - this will be not only nice in itself, but allow me to check my transcription. This means inclu

Wonderful! Thank you.

Oh yeah, one more thing. When you're doing the Dynamics context you don't need to replace the notes with spacer rests. You can just do a direct copy of the music and add the dynamics to it - the notes don't get printed. So you can just do this: \new Dynamics \with { fontSize = #-5

Hi Mark, Looks like Hairpins have their own sizing properties. A full list is at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/internals/hairpin but in this case looks like height is probably the one you want used something like this: \version "2.24.0" \relative c'' { << \new Staff \with {

Yes, thank you. I overlooked retrying \magnifyStaff having just updated to 2.24.0 after failing in 2.22.2. I just now tried it, but I get the same result as with fontsize, viz., the text changes size, but the hairpins do not. On Tue, Jan 3, 2023 at 8:49 AM Xavier Scheuer wrote: > On Tue, 3 Jan 2

Using dynamics separately from a staff is useful, but for some reason changing the size affects the DynamicText but not the hairpins. I'd like the hairpins to match the staff size if possible. Thank you, Mark \version "2.24.0" \relative c'' { << \new Staff \with { \magnifyStaff #2/3
