Proper way to engrave variations

Hi list, Engraving some variations, I'd like every first line of a variation indented, like it is in most editions. (see I could use new \score for each variations, but I think measure number should be continuous. As it is complicated (see :

I think the question is more: “will machines be able to engrave scores that don’t need tweaks or human correction at all.” Maybe, but in my opinion — except if you implement something like an AI — it will never have the difference that makes traditional engraving so lovely (everything is not

Depends on how you type your files and read music, I guess. As a singer I learned reading music relatively so it is more natural for me and i exclusively use \relative mode. But I agree there are limitation like Kieren second example with split voices: I always expect the note before the split to

I learned music in French (native French) and was at the beginning a little bit confused with 2 4 8 16 etc. because we say white, black, hooked, double-hooked, triple-, etc. but after all it is logical with the numbers. I understood the choice of 2 4 8 16 during an exchange semester in Germany

Hi all, I always wondered why Lilypond was defined as a program ( http://www.lilypond.org/) for me it is more (should be) a descriptive language, that several programs can interpret. As Lilypond is above all an engraving program, I don’t think we should work on composing tools. Let this kind of

Hi Joram, You can either use brackets : { a8 a16[ a] a a a a } But I guess you want it automated in every measure, so you have to override the beatSturcutre: { \overrideTimeSignatureSettings #'(4 . 8) % timeSignatureFraction #'(1 . 16)% baseMomentFraction
