Hello - I am arranging a chart where I have whole notes in a measure and I would like to start at forte and decrescendo to mezzo-forte (or whatever). The problem is the measure comes out short: [image: image.png] I would like it to be longer so the decrescendo is a bit more prominent. I tried put

Hello all - I am working on a score in Lilypond 2.22.1 and believe I saw, somewhere, a notation to use in the programming of the notes to repeat the previous measure of notes. Not in the music, I use the various repeats all the time; this is in the editor when I am coding the notes so I would not

Hello Everyone, I've engraved a score which includes a "D.S." and Coda. I had no problem adding the Text (D.S. al Coda") and signs, but currently there is no break in the score between after the measure to go back to the sign and the actual coda. In other works I've seen, the Coda is "broken off"
