Height and vertical alignment of first system on first page

2015-08-09 Thread Jonathan Scholbach
Hi Ponders, I have a score with an odd number of systems. Each page has two systems (it's an eight-voiced Choirstaff), the first page gets one system (and the title-section) - fine. Lilypond stretches the first system vertically to make it fill the whole first page. I would like this system to ha

repeat volta with partial, alternative endings and different \time in different voices

2015-08-10 Thread Jonathan Scholbach
Hello again ;-) I have a somewhat special piece of music: It has a partial and a volta with alternative endings. That's no problem. But on top it has different meters in the alternatives of the different voices. When I do not combine the voices in a ChoirStaff (or StaffGroup) everything works fine

Dear all, in a sheet I use the G_8-clef. And I changed the font of the document. Now the 8 under the clef is very small - because the numbers are a little small in the particular font I use - and I would like to increase its size. How can I access its font-size? Thank you ever so much, Jonath

automatic line-breaking in markup

Hi list, I want to create a template for a cover page. I do that by redefining bookTitleMarkup. The title of the piece is stored as string in a variable and I want to print it relatively tall on the cover page. It works. But sadly when the title is too long it runs off the page, because LilyPond d

I had a similar problem when managing different spread of text in different stanzas of a song. Maybe the following solution (which does not produce the correct midi-output!) is appropriate for you? - for me it looks like a bit of cheating, but it seems to work. \version "2.19.22" verseOne = \lyri

Hi Ponders! I would like to know how I can create my own /\accidentalStyle/ "Normally" notes of a certain voice are "naturalized" (written with a natural), when the same note had occured with an accident in the same bar (this is /\accidentalStyle default/ in LilyPond). A different style additonall

Re: \accidentalStyle for common choir notation

2016-06-21 Thread Jonathan Scholbach
What you're asking for is not adding a natural when there's a previous sharp in a different /voice/, but in a different /staff/. As a long-time singer myself, I'd find that terribly confusing. If the 2 voices are on the same staff, I could understand it. -- Phil Holmes On 21.06.
