lyrics font size

2007-06-19 Thread vwf
Hello, I try to set the font-size of lyrics, but this seems less straight forward than I expected. So far, the notehead size changes with the text-size. How can I set the size of the staves and the lyrics independently? This is what I made: #(set-global-staff-size 15) \score { \new

Double Staff Tablature - No Stems is the Norm

2007-06-19 Thread joeyc
Hi, In the guitar section of the manual, all the examples of tab have stems with the numbers. In double staff guitar tab, where you have notation on top and tab below, this is rarely if ever seen. It is usually only the numbers on the tab staff. So my questions are ... 1.) Is it possible to

You can easily remove the stems: \new TabStaff { \override Stem #'transparent = ##t a,4\5 c'\2 a\3 e'\1 e\4 c'\2 a\3 e'\1 } I no nothing about the notation practice for tab staff, but if you are certain that this is common enough to deserve a place in the documentation, please

Thanks Mats, In this example, where would you place the \override Stem #'transparent = ##t, as I can't get it to work. But I can get your example to create a single staff... partition = { \key e \major e\5 dis'\4 e dis' e\5 dis'\4 e dis'\5\4 } \context StaffGroup \context

Since you probably want to keep the stems in the ordinary note staff, you could do it in \context TabStaff \override ... \partition An alternative is to specify that you want this setting in all TabStaff contexts in your .ly file, by inserting \layout{ \context{ \TabStaff

Read the section on Explicitly instantiating voices to realize what the {...} \\ {...} does exactly. Since it creates two new Voice contexts, your \lyricsto will skip the full polyphonic section. The simple workaround is to instantiate the extra Voice yourself: | { \voiceOne e4( d~ d8) }
