Re: Barline type before \time change
Hello Urs, There are two possibilities: 1.: use a little music-function-helper: --snip-- \version 2.15.36 dbtime = #(define-music-function (parser location frac)(fraction?) #{ \bar || \time $frac #}) % example \relative c' { c4 e g b \dbtime 3/4 c des b | c2. } --snip-- but this means not using the standard \time command. 2.: If you want to have this effect on existing sources, you might want to use a scheme-engraver. This is based on a snippet, I took from this list ... I think David Nalesnik wrote it(?) --snip-- \version 2.15.36 % this might work in 2.14 too? DbBars = #(lambda (context) (let ((time-signature '()) (last-fraction #f)) `((process-music . ,(lambda (trans) (let ((frac (ly:context-property context 'timeSignatureFraction))) (if (and (null? time-signature) (not (equal? last-fraction frac)) (fraction? frac)) (begin (ly:context-set-property! context 'whichBar ||) (set! last-fraction frac) ))) )) (stop-translation-timestep . ,(lambda (trans) (set! time-signature '() )) % example \score { \relative c' { c4 e g b \time 3/4 c des b | c2. } \layout { \context { \Score \consists \DbBars } } } --snip-- With the engraver, you should be able to include an existing file while using this custom engraver globally: --snip-- \layout { \context { \Score \consists \DbBars } } \include mymusic.ly --snip-- HTH Cheers, Jan-Peter On 12.04.2012 16:29, Urs Liska wrote: Hello list, I'm sorry, but I can't find the relevant documentation.

Re: Barline type before \time change
Hello Jan-Peter and Tim, thanks for your replies. I would like to use this on sources I'm already working on. So I don't need to use your include construct. But I think I'll try out your Scheme engraver approach. If it doesn't work or behave as I would like, then I'll go for entering the double bars manually. This is of course manageable, but I'd find it cleaner to have it as a 'setting' in the layout block and use simple \time commands in the source.

Barline type before \time change
Hello list, I'm sorry, but I can't find the relevant documentation. I want to change lilyPond's default behaviour and tell it to use || barlines before \time changes instead of normal ones. Although it is quite easy to do this manually, I'd like to know where and how I could change this setting, possibly in a \layout section.

The two things are not connected. LilyPond does not automatically force a bar line when the \time changes. It is perfectly valid to change the time signature in the middle of a bar. Although it is quite easy to do this manually, I'd like to know where and how I could change this setting, possibly in a \layout section. There is no setting. If you want a double bar, you use \bar ||. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza Boekelheide, Inc. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
