Setting paper indents using Scheme code

Hi, I have a custom engraver (https://github.com/nwhetsell/lilypond-instrument-name-measuring-engraver) that helps align instrument names like what’s shown on p. 509 of Elaine Gould’s Behind Bars. In a nutshell, this engraver works by measuring the x extent of system start text stencils,

Bow positions (sul pont, sul tasto) with transition arrows

Hi, I’m trying to figure out the “right” (most flexible, best looking) way to put bow positions like sul pont and sul tasto (really their abbreviations s.p. and s.t.) above a staff with transition arrows, like in Gould’s Behind Bars p. 407. Here are some things I’ve tried: • Use a TextSpanner

Custom engraver to draw frame around notes

Hi, I’m trying to use an engraver that was shared on the lilypond-user list in 2012: https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2012-03/msg00363.html This engraver draws a frame around notes, followed by an arrow.

Custom engraver to modify bent grace notes

Hi, I have a question about using a custom engraver to modify how grace notes appear when LilyPond’s new string bending is applied to them. This is the first custom engraver I’ve attempted to write, so I think I’ve overlooked something rather basic. The repository for the engraver is at

Reducing length of stems of beamed notes after \stopStaff

I’m trying to put some beamed notes (no staff lines, time signature, or anything else) in a \markup block. To do this, I’m using a Staff with several engravers \remove’d, using \stopStaff to eliminate staff lines, and then setting Stem.details.beamed-lengths to reduce the length of stems.

PDF bookmark questions

I’m trying to add PDF bookmarks (to display in PDF readers) to a collection of studies. I’m having three issues: 1. If several studies appear on the same page, the bookmarks appear in reverse order. 2. The bookmarks seem to navigate to the *page* on which a study appears, not the study

Adding to header using module-define! and alist with markups

I’m trying to programmatically add items to score headers from an alist. This works when an item consists of just a string. I can’t seem to get this to work when an item is a markup, no matter how the markup is entered. Is there some way to store markups in an alist, and then use those markups
