I believe it was on somebody's weblog, but it may have been on a site that was formatted like a weblog. I am sure it was published in several parts. Its structure largely mirrored that of the Learning Manual's (http://lilypond.org/learning.html) first three chapters, but without taking up 85 pages. I believe it had syntax highlighting in the code examples. I believe the weblog's design had a navigation column on the right. I am certain that as an introductory text, it was Very Good Indeed. Sietse Sietse Brouwer Hi, Your name sounds Dutch (Friesland ?), are you dutch ? Then maybe you are referring to this website: http://www.wilbertberendsen.nl/cursus_lilypond It is in Dutch, it is written by Wilbert Berendsen - the guy behind Frescobaldi - and when I just started using Lilypond this tutorial helped me al lot. Very well written. If we are talking about the same website: Very Good Indeed! -- MT ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi,
Mike Solomon created a Flag grob.
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1843
The new syntax should be
\override Flag #'style = #'no-flag
Normally the syntax has been replaced everywhere in the documentation

Maybe there is no convert-ly rule for this (yet).
I cannot check right now. I'll ask.
I'm pretty sure I've run convert-ly on that score every time I've worked
on it with an updated version of LP, so I suspect that there is no
convert-ly for that - nor can I recall any warning in the convert-ly log
about needing a manual change.

Basic LilyPond Cheat Sheet
Dear all, Sometimes it can be very useful -- in particular for new and not so experienced users -- to have the basic LilyPond syntax available compressed on one single sheet. I have created such a cheat sheet that displays the basic lilypond syntax and usage (without any tweaks and overrides) on one single page, while also being visually appealing. The cheat sheet is meant to be a quick summary of the things explained in the learning manual, but does not replace the learning manual. It simply is a quick reminder of all the stuff, once you have read the learning manual. Attached you can find the PDF version of this cheat sheet: http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~reinhold/temp/2011-08-24_LilyPond_CheatSheet_Basic.pdf I also provide nicely printed copies of the cheat sheet for basically my own costs (3€ per sheet + shipping): http://www.edition-kainhofer.com/en/lilypond/details/2111/ These copies are printed borderless on heavier paper and are laminated, so they are waterproof and should hold for years. Chers, Reinhold PS: I'm also planning to write a cheat sheet with basic tweaks/overrides and the various paper/header fields. But that might take a while. -- -- Reinhold Kainhofer, reinh...@kainhofer.com, http://reinhold.kainhofer.com/ * Financial Actuarial Math., Vienna Univ. of Technology, Austria * http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/, DVR: 0005886 * LilyPond, Music typesetting, http://www.lilypond.org ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Manual page breaks
Hi List,
I am working on a piece with three movements. I organized my score in
different files, for the tiny-example let's say two. The fist file is
instrument.ly and the second part.lyi. I have different instruments and
therefore multiple instrument.ly files but I want to use just a single
part.lyi. So far nothing special. But I can't find a way to insert
pagebreaks between the movements in my instrument.ly. I don't want fixed
page breaks in part.lyi because of the differences in length of the
instrument scores.
In the tiny example I tried to get Movement I on the first page and
Movement II and III together on a second page. But the \pageBreak is
ignored.
How does this work?
Greetings, Ed
%%% Tiny example %%%
\version 2.15.10
% instrument.ly
mvtI = { c'4 c' c' c' \pageBreak }
mvtII = { d'4 d' d' d' }
mvtIII = { e'4 e' e' e' }
% part.lyi (identical for all instruments)
\score {
\new Staff { \mvtI }
\header { piece = Movement I}
}
\score {
\new Staff { \mvtII }
\header { piece = Movement II}
}
\score {
\new Staff { \mvtIII }
\header { piece = Movement III}
}

Your code worked like your desired outcome: mvt. I on one page, mvt.
II III on the second page. I compiled it with 2.14.2. Maybe it broke
in 2.15, but I can't test that one.
You could try moving the \pageBreak out of the movement definition and
put it after the first \score block. That is allowed and should also
work.
