How to merge two scores into one?

2017-01-05 Thread Jeff Epstein
I'm not understanding how to merge two scores into one. The song just continues, but it's a different section with a different voice configuration. The first section has a single voice, the second has two. The only way I can figure it out so far is to print out two scores. Is there a way to merg

Beta testers wanted: LilyPond users who also have an iPhone

2010-11-09 Thread Jeff Epstein
I am looking for some LilyPond users who happen to also have an iPhone (or iPod Touch or iPad), to volunteer to be beta testers. I have written a iPhone-LilyPond-input tool which will be released at the end of the year. To avoid hopes getting too high: It does not check your LY code for errors,

I should say that I only want the box-padding setting to be overridden for this one markup-call to \box. Perhaps I should be using \once or \tweak or something related...but I don't think it changes the basic question. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lil

How to get a property override into a scheme markup function?

2010-09-21 Thread Jeff Epstein
(FYI: I am a programmer, non-GUI Java, but am new to scheme.) In section 6.4.3 in the pdf Notation Reference manual (v 2.12.3), there's a markup function written in scheme. In that fashion, I've successfully created my first scheme function: #(define-markup-command (mBox layout props s_boxTex

Thank you for the helpful information, Kieren. I will look carefully at the polyphony documentation. I think my question came across differently than I intended. What I want is NOT for LilyPond to programmatically determine the best layout for each system. Rather, *I* want to tell Lily Pond tha

I did NOT cross off the word "impressive" in my original post! I meant to emphasize it with em-dashes. I don't understand the syntax here yet. Also, here's the fixed link to the "after" picture: http://jeffyepstein.com/posts/merge_parts_question/after.jpg __

I have been playing with LilyPond on and off for a while now. I'm a programmer and musician, so I feel like I have a head start. But it's--impressive--heavy duty stuff. I'm still really doing only the basics with LilyPond. Anyway, I arrange acapella music. I want to get away from arranging by penc

Newbie question: brief alternative notes-and-lyrics in repeat

How do you create lyrics for brief alternative notes, existing in repeated sections (when there are not enough notes to justify duplicating the entire section)? Here is a demonstration picture of what I am trying to do: http://jeffyepstein.com/tmp/alternative_lyrics.gif The red is what I can't
