Hi Andrew, I was anticipating this coming up immediately after the OP question. I was looking at Smufl and there is a whole page of specialist harp symbols. I imagine people would want all of those if they want the muffle. I don;'t know enough to say how one would gp about proving them, and

I have many chords where a note is a harmonic. I use the following for the note inside the chord: \tweak NoteHead.stencil #ly:text-interface::print \tweak NoteHead.font-size #1 \tweak NoteHead.text #(markup #:musicglyph "noteheads.s0mi") How can I make this into what I am tempted to call

Hi Saul, Thanks, but you missed the point, sorry. There's a thread about the \espressivo mark <> and how to adjust it. That's what I am referring to, not the text word 'espressivo'. Dynamics are different to Script, which is what \espressivo is. I am wanting to snug up and align a 'p' and '<>'

Hi Rachel, Could you accept a coda symbol? Then something like this can be done: %== \version "2.19.82" treble = { c''4 } bass = { \clef bass \once \override Script.outside-staff-priority = ##f \once \override Script.Y-offset = 6 c4_\coda } \score { << \new Staff {

Dynamic next to espressivo

2019-01-23 Thread Andrew Bernard
Hi All, Now that we have a great espressivoII function, I want to put a dynamic next to the espressivo, on the left, at the same level. How do we do this? This is not specific to expressivo - how does one line up a dynamic and a script on the same horizontal level and snugged up to each other?

Hi Aaron, This is excellent. Highly useful for me. In order to disseminate this, I believe it should go in openlilylib. That's better in my view than a snippet because then you can include the actual code in your project. I'd be happy to format it all up and code it according to the standard for

LSR 745 does a nice job of providing for complex compound meter time signatures. But it's a very large chunk of Scheme for a relatively small matter, yet another bit of complex code to look after locally. Is this functionality built in to lilypond by now? Andrew
