Tremolo mark between piano staves

2009-11-25 Thread Qian Li
How can I make an unmeasured tremolo mark (three slanted lines) between two staves to indicate a trill with two chords, one for each hand? What can be tweaked to move the marking up or down? I have seen this use in the piano part of Messiaen's Quator pour la fin du temps. Thanks. Qian

Large square brackets for modern notation

2009-06-19 Thread Qian Li
I want to draw square brackets taller than staff height to indicate, for example, free rhythm with specified pitches using stemless noteheads inside the brackets. I believe Penderecki and others have used them. Right now I'm trying text markup but can't get the brackets big and heavy enough to

Hi, folks, I have attached two files for a sextet. The reason for the format is I have to break them out into parts, but I'm willing to hand-generate those if that's the best solution. I'm having three problems having to do with staves. 1. How do I make the percussion staves Percb, Percd, and

Hi again. I did some more work and found that viola and vibraphone are silent while voice oohs, glockenspiel, and violin (and default acoustic grand) play ok. If anyone can tell me if I'm missing something it would be greatly helpful. I have attached one file for your convenience. Qian

cluster using vertical line

2005-04-09 Thread Qian Li
I'm trying to draw a vertical line between two noteheads, positioned opposite from the stem. It notates a cluster with the noteheads giving the range. (the make cluster function, as Antti wrote in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2004-09/msg00257.html , is not precise enough)
