Supressing header on first page

2010-02-19 Thread Brett McCoy
I am using oddHeaderMarkup and evenHeaderMarkup to put running headers (title, composer) on each page of a score, but want to suppress it on the first page of the score (where the main header is). I can't seem to find anything in the snippets or notation reference on how to suppress this on the

Rehearsal marks

2010-02-04 Thread Brett McCoy
I've read in a few places -- including the Lilypond documentation -- that, traditionally, when using rehearsal marks in a score, the letter I is skipped. Does anyone know why this is done? Lilypond handles this automatically, do Finale and Sibelius? -- Brett

Drop D tuning

2010-02-03 Thread Brett McCoy
I have a score where I need to indicate Drop D tuning for the guitar (6th string is tuned down to D). The typical way this is indicated in guitar music is a (6) = D (circle with a 6 in it = D), placed at the top left of page 1 under the title, but above a tempo mark. I am relatively new to

Diagonal slashes in drum notation

I am doing some drum notation, starting out with a 2-bar groove, and then for the following measures I want to just have 4 diagonal slashes to indicate drummer basic time (rather than the % sign to indicate a repeated measure). Basically, I want to do something similar to the isolated % repeat
