bers if you set these options at the beginning of that group's top staff: \override Staff.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #'#(#f #t #t) \set Staff.barNumberVisibility = #(every-nth-bar-number-visible 5) % or however often you want bar numbers to be visible Again, thanks, Eluze, and

Re: why does lily prints both a natural and sharp sign?

2011-06-11 Thread Nicholas Moe
On p. 125 of my Gardner Read (1964), it says: "To cancel the double flat and restore the original single flat, it was formerly required—as cited in the rules on page 123—to write a natural sign plus the single flat. Today the tendency is to use merely the single flat-sign without the natural. It ma

Consistent bar number positioning

2011-06-09 Thread Nicholas Moe
I am writing a piece which requires lyrics above and below the staff. I would like to have regular measure numbers right above the bar-line (i.e. always approx. 0.75 staff lines above the staff). Ideally I would like to make the lyrics invisible to the bar numbers. I have been unable to find a wa

odernised rhythms, I'm content with doing my compilation checks without multiplying. After everything is typed in, I can switch on the multiplication and just ignore the warnings, since I already know I got everything else right! Nick On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 3:54 AM, Phil Holmes wrote: > -

Removing manual beams when multiplying note values

2011-06-08 Thread Nicholas Moe
Hello, I am replicating a handwritten score of Renaissance polyphony. I entered the notes with \autoBeamOff and manually entered the beams where they were needed using square brackets. Later, I decided I wanted to double the values of the notes, as is common with this type of music. I figured out

Can't hide empty staff after time signature change

Hello, I am having trouble hiding an empty staff line following a time signature change when I am using line breaks. In the example below, the staff for the melody line should disappear in measure 4. It does disappear if I use \RemoveEmptyStaves in the Staff context, but I want to keep the rest in

Tie collision with note

2011-03-19 Thread Nicholas Moe
I am working on engraving an organ piece, César Franck's Cantabile. In the LH in mm. 16–17, the middle voice is tied, but the tie collides with the notes in the upper voice. Ideally, its shape and position should match the tie in the upper voice, only shifted down. How can I achieve this? Here is
