new Score in rests passed to a ChordNames

2010-09-22 Thread Graham Percival
Hi Carl,

Line 480 in chords.itely has a weird example:
@lilypond[verbatim, quote, relative=1]

  \new ChordNames \chordmode {
c1
r1
g1
c1
  }
  \new Score \chordmode {
c1
r1
g1
c1
  }

@end lilypond

As far as I can tell, the \new Score bit has no effect whatsoever on the output.
1) did you mean to omit the relative=1 ?
2) more generally, what were you trying to show in this example?  The
difference between a rest in ChordNames vs. non-ChordNames ?

You don't need to fix it yourself; just tell us what you intended, and
James will figure out a way of displaying it without \new Score.

Cheers,
- Graham

Why no \new Score?

2007-11-26 Thread Trevor Daniels

I am writing part of the GDP Learning Manual and having some
trouble explaining why score and book blocks are introduced
with \score and \book commands rather than \new Score and
\new Book commands.

Since it is possible to have several score and book blocks
in a single input file, the user might intuitively expect
these to be introduced with \new Score and \new Book in an
analogous way to \new Staff or \new Voice.

Is this simply due to the way LilyPond developed
historically or is there some deeper reason?

Trevor D
