Hi Kieren, oh my! Guess what? I'm running 2.19.83 now! Thank you so much! And: Ligatures working like they should! The question on how to install an unstable version was offtopic - and yet, it totally solved my problem with ligatures. Thank you so much for your help! I now can start on creating

Re: Jazz Chord Symbols (as new font - NOT notation font)

Hi Aaron, thanks. No problem, nothing bad happened so far. Didn't know about lilybin - that's interesting news to me! First time I'm ever seeing some ligatures in a font is running: \version "2.19.2" \markup \roman "fi" with the unstable version 2.19.48 on lilybin.com It would be nice to have

More font ligatures

Elam Rotam, of Early Music Sources fame, has created a font that recreates 16th century typesetting. It could be useful for doing quick, good looking incipits: https://www.earlymusicsources.com/more/font-serenissima https://youtu.be/HH1oUc4E1CA The one issue is that it relies heavily on font

Re: Grace note beams won't hide correctly

Hi Ben, For the slash, may I commend to you my very well debugged and mature slash functions in the openlilylib library? They are quite general anbd have lots of parameters, If you don't have openlilylib already installed, it is not daunting as people seem to think. It's easy to install and use.

Re: A spacing problem

Hi Robert, That's really interesting. You use a TeX editor for lilypond, presumably for syntax highlighting and checking? I had some vague idea lilypond was loosely based on TeX in the original days, but I did not think it is compatible now. I though the '\' notation was the only surviving

Re: A spacing problem

Hi Andrew, Thanks for your comment and advice. Am I using barchecks on every bar? Yes, I do. Every bar in my score ends with | followed by the bar-number . (For example : g’1 |%P1V1-5) BTW, I use TeXShop for my input and I am very happy with it. For several reasons I never liked

Re: Jazz Chord Symbols (as new font - NOT notation font)

Hi Tyler, it was from apt package. Which version would you recommend? I need to re-install anyway. I'm on Debian Linux, but I'm not a very skilled user. Normally I install everything with apt-get install - only when I really have to, I do (or try) otherwise. Marco *** www.marcobaumgartner.com

Re: Jazz Chord Symbols (as new font - NOT notation font)

Thanks Aaron for your help! \version "2.18.2" % tested on lilybin.org \markup \roman "fi" That's what I'm going to test next. Unfortunately, I'm facing some installation issues. I somehow messed up the original package, while trying to install a newer unstable version. Now I can't

Re: A spacing problem

Hi Robert, I know this is like computer phone support asking you if the modem is plugged in and turned out, but are you using barchecks on every bar? Saves a multitude of problems. May I make the polite suggestion that it is very often, in my experience, the act of making an MWE, even if

Re: A spacing problem

Hi Ben, Thanks for your quick response. And my apologies for my late reaction. I would have included an MWE if I had believed that I could somehow demonstrate the problem with it, but I'm convinced that it is sort of a mass action inside my score. I could perhaps have sent you the complete
