Thanks for helpful leads, everyone. In response to Matthew's wish, Joram Berger recently shared his super helpful "Lilypond on one page," which presents tons of basic interface information in dense, efficient, but readable graphic+text format (even color-coded!) -- would it make sense to make a sim

I find myself wishing for an O'Reilly style book "Hacking Lilypond". The user guide and the reference are fine as is, but a book with some extended examples of how to _architect_ solutions in Lilypond would be great. I already know Scheme the language, and have a basic understanding of the Lilypo

Hi all, It's good to know how to do this. For metric notation, I found that it's also useful to stop the duration line before the barline, instead of continuing it to a subsequent notehead, if the following note is in the next bar: #(define flat-gliss (lambda (grob) (let ((left-Y (assoc-get

Is there any way to obtain this kind of notation in Lilypond (to show the duration of notes, in a proportional way, with thick lines)? cfr. http://wojciechkilar.pl/upload/SCORE%20Generique1.JPG I found kind of a solution on the mailing list (see link below), but the line is a bit too thick u
