Hej Jay, look for your last quotation mark in the file. It looks as if you have forgotten to close a section within quotation marks, therefore lilypond thinks that all of this %r8 \fermata ^\markup {\italic \tiny still is some text that it should write in the score and that "an uh moment"

Re: Vertical position of whole-measure rest

2011-10-04 Thread Jonas Müthing
Hello Frank, an R is not a rest for Lilypond but a multi-measure rest. Therefore you need to change the staff-position of that with the \override command (to be inserted directly before the R: \override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #-1 The number indicates the number of staff-spaces

Black circle with white markup

Hello list, I'm writing a piece in which I have four speakers with megaphones. To indicate if the megaphone is used or not I use a circle with an M in it. \markup { \circle { \pad-markup #.5 \bold M } } This is supposed to indicate that the megaphone is to be used. If it's not to be used I

Manipulating grobs before line-breaks

2010-08-18 Thread Jonas Müthing
Hi out there, I have the following problem: Lilypond has the rather unusual standard behaviour of printing hairpins, ties etc at line breaks right into the bar line. This is not the normal way to do it, if you look at traditionally engraved music, these signs end just before the bar line.
