Hi Lilyponders, I'm not sure if this is an appropriate request for the group, but I was wondering if anybody had the time to look at a sample part I have typeset and make any comments regarding the typesetting. There may be many things here that an experienced typesetter may see that need improvement, but my eyes don't pick up. Here is the link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/614749/Berlioz-02-piccolo.pdf I do think the part looks a little bit compressed, but I have used the page turn engraver (which I think is one of the greatest inventions of the modern world!) for instrumental parts such as these. Many thanks, Craig ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

There may be many things here that an experienced typesetter may see that need improvement, but my eyes don't pick up. It looks pretty clean to me. I'm not an expert either, but here are a few things: - 'attaca' should be placed below the staff. - The rest at the end on page 3 looks a little short for a page turn (maybe not). It's certainly doable, but it's worth playing around. Moving the page turn will most likely cause it to flow onto more pages. - Mvt. I measure 59 has an A natural. The following measure has an A-flat? Add the cautionary accidental. There are similar issues like this as well (Mvt. I measures 89-90, 91-92 with f-flat, f-natural - I didn't check further.). I do think the part looks a little bit compressed, but I have used the page turn engraver (which I think is one of the greatest inventions of the modern world!) for instrumental parts such as these. A4 is fairly narrow which could be part of the problem as well. -Jay ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
RE:strange phenomenon from guitar bends snippet Vol 145 issue 124
it was pointed out that i posted the modifications of the old
definitions.ily. I think the only changes since then have been aesthetics
-- and mainly to the tab portion of which, in this case since it's gone
makes no difference. anyway here is the new file with the changes.
modified version of ...

typically used on guitar - on Staff and TabStaff.
While issue 1196 aims to create a specific engraver
for bends, this snippet leverages the slur engraver.

It worked! Thanks.

Hi Stephen
You know that the new home of the old bend.ly is this one?
https://github.com/openlilylib/openlilylib/tree/master/notation-snippets/guitar-string-bending
I think that a diff file of your changes compared to that version would
be more useful.

Re: Indenting arbitrary lines
Could you put all the lines that are continuations in a single score block, and have multiple score blocks? You could then try a negative indent for the first line to outdent it. [I just realized I didn't post this to the list. Plus I'm hoping for some more responses] I think if I were doing this manually that would probably work. Unfortunately changing my software to generate multiple score blocks would require a lot of work that I'm not sure is justified for just this one thing. I was lucky that I was able to insert the basic acrostic idea without having to rewrite any of the infrastructure.

I was lucky that I was able to insert the basic acrostic idea without having to rewrite any of the infrastructure. Then you probably need to use explicit X-offset adjustments — see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/explicit-staff-and-system-positioning for more details. Hope this helps!
