Thank you Ben and Leonardo! I tried Joshua Armenta's proposed fix. I don't think it actually changed anything. I still got the same ghostscript error after I tried the procedure. % cd /usr/local/share/doc myusername@myhostname % ls -al | grep ghost lrwxr-xr-x 1 myusername admin54 Nov 11

using partcombine with different clefs, repeats, text

Hi List, sigh … here we go again. I apologize in advance for my client, a hobbyist composer who thinks entirely in terms of cutting and pasting, moving things around manually, and not in terms of how to notate anything clearly. Here goes: He has a song for soprano, baritone, and piano. The song h

Re: using partcombine with different clefs, repeats, text

PS - you know what? I'm sorry: I'm making this guy's work much more complicated than it needs to be. This is really just a song for single voice and piano; I'll notate it that way and leave it to him to work out with the performers who sings which verse in which language. Sorry for the trouble! A

I think this sounds like a use case for a long text preface explaining what is to be performed in what order and why, just notating everything on a treble clef and doing manual octavations in the midi file. Maybe writing a reminding 1S,2B: or such (not sure I got it completely right from your ex

Score layout - ragged bottom and page break?

Hello, (Note: Lilypond v. 2.24.2, in Linux.) I am setting a group of pieces; each piece is in its own score block. I want each score to start on a new page, and the final page in each score to have a ragged-last-bottom, so that the systems are evenly spaced - these are duets, and I like no more

Re: petrucci style notehead for MetronomeMark, plus Piae Cantiones style G clef and time signature

I'm into this! 1) Not sure on this one- you need to override the notehead in a \note {2} markup somehow since there's not a dedicated glyph for that. 2) I think that's as close as you get with Emmantaler. You can see the list of clefs here: https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/cle
