Re: Corrected: Beaming in LilyPond

Hi Malte, There's an old saying on the internet: don't feed the troll. Arguing against this type of person just makes them stronger and more self righteous. Experience shows that ignoring them makes them go away as they get no gratification. It's a pity this gentleman wants to use the list for

Re: Corrected: Beaming in LilyPond

Hello, I understand that you may not like how the stem looks, but my goal was to preserve the organization of the notes in the manuscript which follows a harmonious and logical pattern. About Facebook and other social media, I could not agree more. I myself am not in those websites. Social

Re: Corrected: Beaming in LilyPond

Hi Simon and Filip, The Bach MS in question is a handwritten autograph - not an engraving. As I mentioned, engraving and handwriting are two quite different media. I think it's a category error to conflate the two. This topic interests me because I work with a New Complexity School composer who

Dear Thomas, Thank you so much! The result is exactly what I had been trying to achieve. I had been looking for a solution for a while, and it was a relief to apply your fix. I understand it may seem unusual to copy the stem direction according to the manuscript, but I'm not sure why you

Re: Corrected: Beaming in LilyPond

Hi Filip, As an 18c specialist myself and harpsichord player, I would not be attempting to mimic Bach's musical handwriting. There's really no need. And for people not familiar with that idiosyncrasy you will confuse them, as it is non standard. My aim in engraving is clarity for the player, and

Corrected: Beaming in LilyPond

Hello all, I am a new user of LilyPond and so far have found it to be a great tool. It is relatively easy to learn (at least the basics), free and extensive. May I suggest an added feature: An option to stack additional note beams for shorter note values on the opposite side of the first
