Hi,
I always prefer to write melodies in \relative mode.
To import a specific MIDI file I needed to use Rosegarden (midi2ly
couldn't cope with it), but Rosegarden exports melodies in absolute
mode.
Is there an easy way to convert one format into another?

Hi,
In section D.4.1 of the manual for 2.8.7, there's nice example of a
SATB score.
In the example, the keyword \global is used in a way I cannot deduce
from the docs. In short (please see the doc section for the full
example):
sopMusic = \relative c'' { ... }
altoMusic = \relative c'' { ..

Lilypond produces PostScript (or PDF) which means it has infinite

Aha! So the trick is to use \markup.
I try to typeset the word "There's", with a decent apostrophe. This
would lead to
\markup {"There"#(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x2019))"s"}

Hi,
According to the docs (10.1.4):
To use a Unicode escape sequence, use
#(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x2014))
Stupid question: How can I use this to get a particular unicode
character into a string (e.g. lyric)?
Thanks for any examples,

Hi,
According to what I recall from music theory, with time signature 1/1
there is one accent per bar, in 2/2 there are two accents, in 4/4
there are four accents and in 8/8 there are eight accents.

melody = { g8 g g g g g g g | g16 g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g }

Hi,
In a 4/4 score, lilypond beams 8th notes as if it were a 2/2 score:
g8 g g g g g g g => g8[ g g g] g[ g g g]
Is there some global setting to have 4/4 beaming in groups of two:
g8 g g g g g g g => g8[ g] g[ g] g[ g] g[ g]
Thanks,

Hi,
Is there a way to control which MIDI channel a stave will get?
In a 4-vocal + chords score the chords seem to get channel 4, and the
vocals get 5, 6, 7, and 8. I want to split out the parts, but my
synthesizer can only control tracks 1-5 individually.
So it would be nice if I could explicitl

Hi,
I have lyrics with apostrophes, like in "there's" and "can't".
When printed, I get minute marks (primes, Unicode U+2032).
How can I obtain a decent apostroph glyph (U+2019), other than by
entering the UTF-8 code manually in the .ly source?
