Automatic syncopated beams crossing bars?

2019-06-23 Thread Mats Bengtsson
Hi, Is it somehow possible to tweak the automatic beaming to produce beams that cross bar lines? I'm typesetting a piece with a syncopated rhythm which is indicated by beaming eight notes two and two, off the beats. I can managed to make the automatic beaming handle it within the bars

Feathered beams proportional spacing with completion heads engraver

Hello everyone, My problem comes from the incompatibility of proportionally spacing the notes within feathered beams and the completion heads engraver. I'm trying to achieve this result (in the manual): But the completion heads engraver completely messes it up, forcing me to choose a re

Yes, thanks. I should mention that "copying this from another source" is a bad idea _unless_ you are creating an Urtext since things like the fingering are copyrighted (except for quite old editions). This may be particularly infuriating concerning the Bach solo string pieces since a) the mor

Hi all, I’m by no means a seasoned Lilypond pro but I’ve been exploring how the program handles beams. In the essay, the 1950 Barenreiter Bach cello suite edition is held up as a benchmark of high quality engraving. Seeing this really helps the user understand why Lilypond’s default slurs are

p.s. Notice how telling Lilypond to consider the feathered measure separately from the rest, it does something different spacing-wise (which may or may not be what you want): \version "2.19.82" \layout { system-count = 4 } \new Staff \relative c' { \newSpacingSection \override Beam.grow-di
