in recent comments folks have discouraged vim - I have learned vim (MacVim) specifically for Lilypond use and have found it terrific. I have mapped commands to send to lilypond and view pdf or open midi output in Quicktime player. The syntax coloring is a pain to install but works. vims

Re: center tempo mark on barline?

thanks Phil: I am trying to build a set of re-useable metric modulations - and I'm favoring the Carter-style in which the '=' is centered on the barline. I have a music function which creates the appropriate \tempo \markup (and midi tempo changes thanks to Neil Puttock) from 2 durations, and

I am writing some music with a great many metric modulations. I plan to create a set of metric modulations which i could re-use: \quarterEqualsDottedEighth and so forth to produce the desired notation. Simple enough. But what I am after is a way to have these prefab modulations affect the

I'm writing a piece with complex rhythms and want to beam rests together with notes for clarity. c8[ r8] produces a beam on the c which does not extend to the following rest. c8[ \set stemLeftBeamCount = #1r8] produces what I'm after in that case... but in any case manually beaming every
