Special Accidental Macro needed.

2002-12-06 Thread Matthias Geier
Hello all. I need an accidental macro which isn't in the standard ones but I'm not able to hack one by myself (because I'm a lilypond newbie and a non-programmer). Perhaps someone of you has made a suitable macro and could send it to me. What I need: There should be accidentials before every

Key and accidentals in Lilypond

2002-12-06 Thread s.abeccara
When I state a key for a piece in Lilypond I expect it to follow common rules for writing music, i.e. not to put natural signs on every note which should be altered in that key (e.g., in D major, for f and c) Infact, when writing music by hand, alterations are put on the key to spare the work

Thank you - it worked ! With the upgrade to 1.6.6, the \translator \StaffContext minimumVerticalExtent is also working !! With the \translator \ScoreContext TimeSignature \override, I do get some error messages about spacing but the output is fine. Can I safely assume that all is well?

After a small bugfix in the accidental engraver (1.7 cvs), this hack does more or less what you request. The last measure shows an example where it goes wrong. Problem is that the music is parsed in input order - so the 2nd e gets an accidental because the 1st was not entered yet, whereas the
