Limiting line length

I am using BendAfter and the lines extend to the next note or rest, sometimes creating flying lines at the top of the next page of the score. Is there a way to limit the length of the line? A #maximum-length command of sorts? cheers, Andrea -- View this message in context:

Re: 2.15.9 binary is actually 2.14.2

I just downloaded 2.15.10 and it's working, but after reading your email, I checked, and sure enough, it says it's 2.14.2. I think it's just a mistake, because the real 2.14.2 was not working and 2.15.9 and 2.15.10 are. cheers, andrea -- View this message in context:

I did read that message, but it wasn't clear to me whether that was for regular schmoes like me or only for developers. But I'll give it a whirl... Thanks! Andrea flup2 wrote: Hello, Is seems that the last beta release (2.15.9) fixes the problem. You can down download it from

Re: Polymetric music and page breaks

Dear Phil, I've reduced the example to just viola 3 4 and included only up to the part where it stops working properly. The first line breaks mid-measure as I'd like, without my having to do anything special. But the second system runs off the page. Thoughts? cheers, Andrea

Re: Polymetric music and page breaks

When I use \repeat unfold, it changes the time signatures in the parts — actually it adds them to the ones that are already there. When I only use it once, it simply breaks the first system. http://old.nabble.com/file/p32000936/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-07-05%2Bat%2B6.13.08%2BPM.png I didn't use

Re: Polymetric music and page breaks

This snippet seems to do the trick: global = { \repeat unfold 3 { \time 4/4 \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f { s1*4 } \bar \break { s1*4 } The override of the stencil removes the extra time signatures; the once command ensures that not all of the time signatures throughout

Dear Collective Wisdom, I'm at it again and trying new things. It looks promising, but still not working right. I looked at this snippet again: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/snippets/rhythms#printing-music-with-different-time-signatures And realized I missed this little tidbit:

Re: Polymetric music and page breaks

Phil, Thanks for responding. Do keep in mind that this is only an excerpt of a 40 minute piece. I excerpted enough so that the problem would be apparent. So I realize that everything in the excerpt is unequal and therefore confusing. There is about 10-minutes-worth of this kind of polymetry, so

Laura, Yes, I've got that in there. Still no page/line breaks, however. Thanks for trying! cheers, Andrea Laura Conrad wrote: I haven't looked at your piece, but what I do with the Renaissance music where there's no good place for Lily to break the score is: \context{

Re: Polymetric music and page breaks

Urs, I read about hidden barlines and the \break command in the documentation, too; and tried using them strategically across all eight parts, but that hasn't worked. It simply un-beamed anything that is beamed. cheers, Andrea Urs Liska-4 wrote: I'm absolutely no expert here, but did you

Re: Polymetric music and page breaks

Urs, The staves aren't grouped because they all have independent time signatures. None of the bars line up until after 10 minutes of music has gone by. I tried manually entering invisible bar lines, but that had no effect. I attached the .ly file to my original post, but here's a screen shot:

Jan-Peter, That is fantastic work! Thanks for sharing it. Unfortunately, neither my math nor my coding skills are anywhere near yours. Another issue is that I am creating a score where only parts exist at this point. (There was a handwritten score that I made the parts from, but that's on the

Dear Collective Wisdom, I posted here about a year ago about my piece. You were all very helpful and I hope you can help me once again. Yes, it's the same pesky piece. I've entered all the parts and need to finish editing it. I can't seem to get it to paginate properly. I've tried inserting

Dear Neil P., Does the forbid_line_break have to go under \Voice or can it go under \Staff? In the meantime, I have temporarily solved my pagination woes by making an imaginary 2m long piece of paper, simply to be able to make edits! Thanks for your help. I may never write another polymetric

Dear Collective Wisdom, I am a lilypond noob using version 2.12.3. I am working on making a score for a piece where each part has its own independent time signatures like this example Staves with different time signatures, unequal bar lengths:

Dear Phil, Thanks for your reply. I used that exact code that you pasted, minus everything after the comment because I copied and pasted it into my own document. (aside: If this helps, I'm trying to put these eight parts into one score: http://reloadsanear.com/composition/putrefaction.html)

Dear Collective Wisdom, I've almost got it! It was indeed an order of operations issue. Despite reading the manual, I wasn't clear on this, so I made a mini-primer: * \version b.l.a.h \layout { blah } \header { blah } \new Score { \relative c' { % tells the program

Dear Phil, Thanks again for your help. It was a brackets 'n' braces problem all along! Seeing your copied example helped me see that (why that didn't work when actually looking at the documentation, I don't know...). I understood what the code was supposed to do, but it wasn't doing it — because
