textwidth solved

2003-12-04 Thread David Bobroff
It seems I've found my answer to the textwidth problem. If the textwidth is set to the same value as linewidth in the \paper block it does what I expect. -David Bobroff ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]

file names nonsense

Hi all, I have a large amount of notation in lilypond format. Many of the songs have no name and no text. I also have audio examples and written introductions to each song. I thought that giving each song the first few measures of ly text would be a great way of absolutly tagging each song and

The problem lilypond won't parse them. Now is the problem the length or the use of periods?? example: b16b8.b4bb16b8.a4ga4.g8aba2e4.ly won't parse but renamed to test.ly it does parse. And so does b16b8b4bb16b8a4ga4g8aba2e4.ly so is there a way to use periods in a name?? Thanks Aaron

bug with extender lines

I see two problems with extender lines which I believe are bugs: 1. They start too soon, overlapping text (particularly noticable with punctuation). 2. When they end at a rest or the end of the piece, a warning is generated warning: unbound spanner `LyricExtender' The output is correct

Sorry for no follow up. For some reason there were no apparent parse errors. Just couldn't find dvi etc. I assumed that the files were ok, but when I lifted the notation and dumped it into a template I knew parsed, voila the errors appeared. So for now I retract my question. If this becomes a

More syllables in one verse?

In a song I'm notating, one verse has a few more syllables in one line, so notes are added for them in what would otherwise be a rest area. Is there a way to notate this so that both the normal and the altered melodies appear within the same staff without too much confusion?
