I am trying to produce a jazz-style leadsheet for the solo section of a song to improvise over. The section will have no melody (obviously, but I need to indicate the chords, the beat signs, and will include some text below the bars indicating either the scale degree or the scale to use for the

I really need to find a way to drop in an unterminated custom length slur that extends past a barline. I cannot use a hidden note to terminate the slur. The piece in question has a bar followed by 2 percent repeat bars. If I use the hidden note, Lilypond places it in the first of the 2 percent

Hey, thanks for the response, yes, \scaleDurations did the trick! I never had to use it before, so I didn't even know of it's existence. That's probably a problem for many, certainly with specific and rare situations, even finding the right terminology to describe the problem is sometimes hard to

Re: changing rhythmic representation to align 8ths with 4ths

2021-03-23 Thread Kevin Barry
Hi Bart, I'm not sure exactly which part of your example you want to be different, but perhaps you need to scale the durations somehow, to make 8ths seem like 4ths or vice versa? There is some info on how to do that here:

Hi Bart, Lukas! Wow! I was just about to write, that with all the black magic people on this list do with scheme, doing the rhythm translation manually shouldn't be necessary, and before I click send you do it in one command. :D Didn't even knew the \shiftDurations-command, guess I should study

But in fact, I think one does not need to shift the Timing_translator to the staff context at all: It should suffice to use \scaleDurations and a manual tweak of the displayed time signature for one staff. That was easier than I had expected: \version "2.23.0" musicOneSizeFitsAll =

Hi Bart, But this results in a situation where the 8ths are not lined up as 4ths, which is what I need. Anyone here who knows how it might be done? Maybe something like this? \version "2.23.0" music = \relative c' {c'4 c c c } musicTwo = \relative c' {c'8 c c c } \score {   <<     \new

I get the same.  I suspect this is now a "feature" of windows' arcane permissions settings.  The simplest thing is to run lilypond from the command line, with an explicit path to the program - something like: C:\"Program Files (x86)"\LilyPond2.22.0\usr\bin\liliypond You can either run this
