basic question on bar numbers...

I am trying to typeset an orchestral part for a Viola section I play in. What they want is bar numbers only at the start of each line. I searched the repository and couldnt find anything, might this mean I have to manually enter these bar numbers and if so, how is that possible ? This didn't seem

an "odd" accidental problem...

I have what I think is an odd problem with accidentals. The piece I am working on is a Viola etude in E minor. In the original score the composer needs an E natural and this is achieved by a concatenated combination of a natural sign and a flat sign. The note in question is an F, which is sharp

manual beaming in compound time signatures

dear All, I have been trying to write clean code to achieve manual beaming in 6/8 time, but my code seems (to me) to be a grubby hack, there must be a cleaner way. In one compounded beat of 6/8 time I have 4 semiquavers (or 16th notes) then in the remaining time value of 2 semiquavers, I have a

a curious midi problem, or not ?

Dear All, I have encountered an odd problem (I think) with midi file generation. The attached file is just one bar of Viola music. It generates a midi, but the actual viola playing is about 7 seconds, yet the midi continues for about 20 seconds ? Have I missed a command in my *.ly file that

tweaking the colour of fun bar rests...

I have a simple problem. In a Viola score I include some piano parts with a cue voice and, to make it very clear I colour the piano part in blue. in the cue voice I can change the colour of "most components of the music" but not a full bar rest ? For example I do there following in the cue voice

a specific note head shape for string players

String players sometimes have to put one finger over two strings, but sound just one. The finger also stopping an unplayed string is often played later, so this action is one of finger preparation. I show this in the attached snippet where I have used a red note head to denote the unplayed, but

Dear All, I would like to add an up bow symbol to the middle of a tie between two notes. The file seg.pdf is a snippet of the problem. In the second tie I would like to place a V to denote up bow. However, the up bow and down bow symbols are attached to notes in the lilypond file. Is there some

intentionally blank cover page ?

Dear All, I have a simple little problem. I have two viola suites, each two pages long. I would like to print these two pieces double sided, but with an intentionally blank first page so there is only one page turn from the first to the second piece in the collection I use (crudely) \book {

Dear All, here is perhaps a silly little question. I am trying to get a slur from a crotchet "into" one of the voices in a polyphonic voicing. In measure 1 the third blue note should have a slur connecting it to the next blue note, which is in the polyphonic part. I tried ( ) and \( \) with no

a basic question

Sorry to ask this silly little question. I am writing out SATB harmonies for a music exam and Ive decided to colour the bass in blue, just to make it a little more distinct. Id like everything about the bass line/voice to be blue, to this end I use \override NoteHead.color = #blue \override

Re: Violin fingering

Pierre that is fantastic work. I tried a very crude routine to mark the - sign on a finger number like -2 etc... but nothing as slick as yours. This is very useful annotation to denote a descending shift from somewhere down to a lower position with finger 2. In sight reading string music that

repeated _\markup{} at same distance from staff...?

Dear ALL, at the risk of great embarrassment, I cannot seem to find what must be a simple command to set _\markup{} at a constant offset from the staff, rather than following the music up and down etc. I've attached my example which is a simple SATB harmony showing only the Soprano and Bass. The

Re: repeated _\markup{} at same distance from staff...?

thanks indeed Stephen, its a nice idea to lump the chord symbols into one rather than do a \markup to all notes. The Vb is just the first inversion of the chord, the b is not a flat symbol. I guess one thing that puzzled me with the \override TextScript.padding is why the outcome didn't just add
