Re: \oneVoice bug (was "staccato oddity")

Hello, Han-Wen: yep, fixed in CVS. Excellent. (Did you just change property-init.ly, or something in the app? Or, asked a more proactive way, how can I access CVS to see where you made your changes?) Thanks, Kieren. ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [E

beamed stem rounding problem

[ Mac OS X 10.2.8 (Fink); Lilypond 2.1.7 ] Hello, development team -- I love the look of the rounded stems on quarters, eighths, and beams (outer edges) -- very warm and "engraved" looking. However, if you look closely, it's creating a divot on "inner notes" of a beamed group: beamDivot.pd

Hello, Han-Wen: No - that's quite difficult. I've fixed the overlap for innerstems, so you won't see this (except when using large blot diameters.) I try to keep my blots pretty small, generally... ;-) The logic of single malt whiskey late in the evening. My favourite kind! I certainly hope your

Re: "inline" (scoped) definitions?

Hello, Erik: I like your suggestion, it is something I sometimes have wanted to use. In some situations it makes life easier (like, if you have some special \property tweak which you find yourself using several times within one block, it's kind of irritating to have to move out a definition outs

Re: Dynamics: cresc not correctly typesetted

Hello, Dave (et al.): I don't like \crescmark too much either, but IMHO something or this sort is a lot more logical and intuitive than what is being done now. \cpin, \endcpin? \dpin, \enddpin? The fact that "<" can be seen as a letter C doesn't hurt. Any better ideas? Do you not like the exi

Re: Help! Syntax has me completely stumped!

Hello, Andrew: Hopefully someone smarter than I will respond, but in the meantime here's my attempt... I have found that unless I put the \global directive in *all* staves, weird things happen -- try that and see what the result is. Hope this helps! Kieren. __

Hello, Fodor: I have a practical question about transposing instruments, perhaps you have some experience. Here's my opinion, from the perspective of: 1. Copyist -- enter the "concert" (i.e., sounding) pitch, to make it easier to enter and reuse material 2. Conductor -- where possible, give the

please add specific version listings in Release Notes

Re: Score spacing.

Hello, Ralph: If I look at professionally produced stuff, within a system, the staves are always equidistant. Actually, I have found just the opposite: the staves are *rarely* exactly equidistant! And this is especially true from page to page (as opposed to within a block of staves on one page):

Re: non-relative relative mode?

Hello, all -- One more clarification that might help \relative newbies... Unlike \transpose x {}, the pitch that is chosen to "define" (begin) the \relative mode block is used ONLY to provide the "relative origin" for the FIRST NOTE, and has no other effect on future pitches. For example, the

Re: non-relative relative mode?
