Is it possible to make the left bar look like the right bar below?
Specifically, there is a clash with the triple number even though I specified:
StrokeFinger #'add-stem-support = ##t
and I would like the finger strokes to lineup vertically rather than following
the note height.
Using
In *classical* guitar-music, there is a finger augmentation called a guide
finger indicating left-hand shifting. Nick Payne uses a mechanism based on the
glissando.
I found this code written for a finger shift on a violin, which I like because
it handles finger location and color, etc. However,
Thank you so much. However, because rotate performs its rotation around the
center of the character I need to make a small adjustment. There is a
rotation routine allowing rotation at an arbitrary point but it appears to be
solely for music not markups. I tried the following change using translate
This is probably a historical issue after reading some older posts, but I can't
directly change the size of the notehead for easyHeadsOn. I want the note
heads to be BIG so it is easy to read (and pronounce) the note. Below is my
attempt at adjusting the notehead size directly. Changing the value
I suppose you're thinking of ly:stencil-rotate.
Brilliant!
Now let me see if I can reward your patience by showing you I have learned
something.
The rotation needs to be along the right centre (center) so the character
appears to rotate in the middle of the finger number, which I figured
The vertical spacing between systems in lilypond-book is established by
LaTeX, not LilyPond, so most spacing parameters will not be effective.
Ouch! 8-( Having to fuss with vertical spacing in two places is unfortunate,
especially since the latex version only gives a fixed spacing whereas
Is there a way to generate an eps file directly as for a ps file? I need the

As I crank up the global-staff-size, the heading text gets LARGE. I'd like to
uniformly reduce the size of the heading text like this:
\override Score.HeaderText #'font-size = #-1
but HeaderText is not the magic word. Is there a magic word? I did look and
could not find it.
Perfect, except it still generates a PDF file, which I don't need and I
could
not find an command-line option to prevent the PDF from being created.
But that's what a Makefile is for: I just delete the PDF.
Lilypond also has a --ps option So what you want is:

I've not tried this to confirm it's correct, but my expectation is that the
syntax is
lilypond options filename
So you should write
lilypond -o fred mary.ly
Works! I'm just an old C programmer and always put the '-o' at the end of the
command. 8-(
Thanks.

I have a vertical spacing problem with MetronomeMark and rhythmMark. The

Is there a way to control the vertical spacing between the lines of the lyrics?
I want to reduce the spacing slightly between the lines to see if I can get a
piece to fit on one page. I tried playing with these but to no avail.

The following snippet illustrates two problem I'm struggling with.
1. In the first bar, the finger number 2 is not beside the B note because of
the sharp above it in a different voice. I can tweak the finger number back
into position beside the B note, but I have a number of these cases in
For problem 1, if you add \override Fingering #'script-priority = #-100
Perfect. Nick, I added this line to my copy of your guitar file:
fp = \override Fingering #'script-priority = #-100
For problem 2, see the function ncShift below.
Perfect. And this was already in your guitar file

I want large note names with EasyHeadsOn for teaching.
I did the following hacks:

so I could increase the font size.
2. changed the constant dividend in Brew-ez-stencil:

I'm using glissandos to indicate a guide finger in fingering, and in ...
Hey Nick, we certainly struggle with indicating a guide finger. 8-)
First, an observation, which I know you are already aware of, but I'll make it
anyway. It is important to differentiate between the glissando, which
I've been working on the last version of David Nalesnik's guide-finger code.
The reason is a horizontal and vertical placement problem when the guide line
is long and/or at a steep angle. I have managed to fix the vertical problem,
but the horizontal problem has me flummoxed. The example below
I consider it much nicer to make strg of type fraction?, and then num
can be (car strg) and denom can be (cdr strg).
and
can just be \spreadTimeSignature #8 2/4 ... which is nicer on the eyes.
I was intrigued and tried to modify the code as you suggested as a learning
exercise. But I
Other than that (same with denom), the code looks fine to me.
Works! However, (and there is always a however ;-), the font and font size are
not the same as the regular (default) time signature.
Is there a a way to grab these two pieces of information from the regular
timestamp stencil and
I'm creating a simple note exercise for guitar students (see below).
I have 3 problems:
1. The lyric underscores are too close to the low E so there is no room to
write the note name. How do I add extra padding (spacing) between the staff
and the lyrics?
2. How do I tweak the vocalName
instead of using shortVocalName ... you could also use stanzas:
Perfect! I should have seen stanza, but missed it.
So below is the result. I tried to create a macro, Fred, to replace the many
repeated lines, but was unsuccessful. Suggestions on how to make it work?
Thanks.
This question is not about lilypond, so feel free to shame me.
I have played a few Adrian le Roy pieces on guitar and enjoyed them. I'd like
to go back to the original manuscripts and write out a few songs in lilypond
for teaching purpose (and no copyright issues). However, easier said than done.

I've looked but I can't find the answer.
I want all the fingering symbols to be in a san-serif font. This:

does not work.

You can always do:
\override Score.Fingering #'font-name = #Vera Bold
and replace Vera Bold with name of your preferred font.
Thanks,
\override Score.Fingering #'font-name = #sans-serif

I'm trying to squeeze a piece onto a single page, and I'm fussing with stem

You can explicitly set the position of the left and right ends of a beam

Perfect. It's a bit fussy getting the numbers right but I like the control.
