I put a bit more work on it. [...] Very nice! I haven't followed the thread intensively, but looking at the image, I would like to have one minor improvement (probably as an option in case other users don't like this): Similar to a tie, there should be a small horizontal line before a note at

Hi again, The big difficulty for me was not in learning the language, but rather learning to work with the various procedures (such as the ones you see in the code in this thread), for which there is little documentation. I mean, of course, procedures which are defined within LilyPond.

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

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

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

Thanks, Harm! That does just what we were trying to get at, I think. It's a long-term goal of mine to learn enough about the Scheme side of Lilypond to be able to design stencils, and custom notational constructs more broadly, like you've just done. It seems like graphic flexibility with \markup

It looks like you might be able to use a glissando and override the style to be line, then twiddle the thickness until it looks right? Using this glissando method mentioned, does anybody know of a specific override that would force the glissando line to be flat (i.e. ignore the y position of
