How do you insert measures into scores with many parts?

This is a question that came up on Reddit the other day and I didn't have an answer (it never happens to me). Say you are working on a score with multiple parts (like an orchestra) and you need to insert some measures into all the parts somewhere in the middle of the piece. Is there a way to organ

Hello Andrew, Right, so I'm not asking for two rests to actually be tied. I was just hoping that the behavior of a lone duration value would repeat the rest right before it and not skip back till it finds a note. For example, instead of {c4 r4 16} resulting in "C, rest, C", it would be "C, rest,

Indenting arbitrary lines

I have an odd request that I'm hoping someone will have some ideas for. 1. I want all lines to be indented (like the first line). 2. Except when I specifically tell Lilypond not to indent. Like the following: c4 d4 \bar""\break \don'tindentthisnextbit e4 f4 g4 ... The project I'm working can gen

Re: LilyPond PPA for Ubuntu/other related OS?

I'm using Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE) and have just helped a friend, a Linux newbie, transition his Lilypond approach on his Linux box. My sincere advice is to just download the software from the website and use that. The installation is super easy and even easier to upgrade (once you've installed it

And of course KDE is nice. And if you use Kubuntu then it's installed by default. On Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 7:30 AM, Shane Brandes wrote: > XFCE is also a useful desktop interface. Unity might be good for > tablet minded people but, at least, I found it to be highly disruptive > of making any sort

Re: Automatic ottava handling

That is amazing work! I don't have the time to experiment with it right now but I will do so tonight and let you know tomorrow the results. But based on your example this looks like it will be perfect. I think the negative numbers for the bassa is a good choice as that was what I was imagining in t

s well. But I will look over the code and see if I can't figure it out for myself. Thanks! On Sat, Oct 11, 2014 at 7:57 AM, David Nalesnik wrote: > Hi, > > On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 9:48 AM, David Bellows > wrote: > >> >Here's a preliminary experiment. It will add

king based on that which works fine but doesn't give as aesthetically a pleasing result as your method does. I will totally ditch my method if this one progresses much further. On Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 4:32 PM, David Nalesnik wrote: > Hi, > > On Mon, Oct 6, 2014 at 3:51 PM, David Bellow

Re: Supporting ♯ and ♭

I could see where this could be useful when sharing Lilypond files. Since we don't all use the same language setting things can get a bit confusing. But it seems like this should be something that one's editor does. Like I type my Lilypond file as I normally do it and then hit "M-x lilypond-beauti

Re: Automatic ottava handling

I ended up creating my own solution to use in my code that generates scores. Unfortunately it doesn't really translate into anything usable by anyone else. Likewise I created my own staff switching method as well so that rests would be printed in the other staff. Still, I think the automatic ottav

Automatic ottava handling

This is probably asking a lot, but is there a way to have ottava markings used automatically? It sounds like a complicated function since you'd also want it to be able to span consecutive notes but being able to specify when (as in how many ledger lines above the staff) it would kick in would be re

Re: Automatic fixing of note between measures

>Is there a reason not to use Completion_heads_engraver all the time or atleast as a default? I think the expectation is that most composers most of the time do not want notes split up automatically as it probably means a mistake was made when entering the notes. Basically they'll split when they

Re: Automatic fixing of note between measures

The project I'm working on right now also automatically generates music and I ran into the same problem. Here's what my software automatically generates now to deal with it: \score { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff = "upper" << \new Voice = "first" \with {\remove "Note_heads_engraver" \consists "C

>There is a PPA so I could upgrade quite easily, if necessary, Even easier and much better is to just download it from Lilypond directly. It is packaged in such a way as to make installation and upgrading on Ubuntu (and all Linux distros) super duper easy. This way you can have the latest versions
