top-level `\midi` doesn't work as expected

2023-11-11 Thread Werner LEMBERG
[2.24.2, 2.25.10] I wonder whether it is expected that this simple input ``` { c' } \midi{} ``` doesn't create a MIDI file. I have to explicitly put everything into a `\score` block to get that. For me, this looks odd, and I couldn't find a hint in the documentation for that behaviour.

Essentially you need to downgrade ghostscript a version. Although with the new release announced today I don't know if it will be fixed or not. On Sat, Nov 11, 2023, 5:22 PM Leonardo van der Laat wrote: > I'm having the same problem. > There's already a thread about this: >

Is there a simple way to append markup to a chordname in chordmode?

2023-11-11 Thread Kevin Cole
I am transcribing a score that has alternate guitar chords listed for capo'ing. For example, F(C) Bb(F)Am(Em) I would like to use F. Bb and Am as the "real" chords and append "(C)", "(F)" and "(Em)" as text. I'm hoping to avoid attaching "F(C)" etc. as arbitrary text, to notes in

SOLVED Hello again, Given that \unset Staff.keepAliveInterfaces would affect the entire StaffGroup, instead of trying to break out from that limitation, I moved the Keep_alive_together_engraver to those two internal, mini-StaffGroups, along with the \partCombine staves. The final score
