Re: Piano duet with facing pages

I've tried Hwaen's solution and it works. I don't really need all to use PDF tools as it's only a small score and I don't have a duplex printer anyway, so can sort the pages by hand. Thanks all for the help. -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html

Re: Vertical alignent in dynamics staff

I seem to have solved it by tweaking the Y-offset. But it's a bit odd: if I change the offset by 0.0 it moves the text position up - I'd have thought it should be unchanged. Also, it doesn't matter if I use ^ or _ to position the text if I tweak the offset. Now, if only the internals manual gave

Re: Vertical alignent in dynamics staff

As well as dynamics the dynamics staff also contains other indications such as "marcato" "staccato" etc. I suppose I could define them as dynamics, but it seems a bit silly! Is there a reason that the vertical alignment of text isn't the same as that for dynamics? -- Sent from:

Re: tremolo

You might also be interested in the thread at http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Fermatas-with-tremolos-td210054.html I see that your example had fermata signs over both notes. I personally prefer having a single fermata sign over the centre of the tremolo. All the best, Peter -- Sent

Re: Merging half-note chord into a quarter-note chord

Hi Knute, Ah well, another variant! I'm not a Chopin scholar but the different editions can be a nightmare. It's interesting that yours and mine both claim to be "first". Good luck in sorting them out. But my comment to Andrew still holds - use the pedal to hold onto the low C for the first

Re: Merging half-note chord into a quarter-note chord

Hi Andrew, I don't think it's odd notation as the G and B flat would be held by the fingers while the C and F are lost by the pedal change after the first crotchet. The A is a quaver to get your hand out of the way of the right hand figurations. But I'm not sure that this is what Chopin

I've found that this is was reported as an "ugly" in 2011. I think it's a bug as the output is definitely incorrect. The reverse happens with the snippet below, where the change of clef is missing. \version "2.19.52" \language "english" \score { \new Staff { \time 4/4 \clef "treble" c''2

I get security upgrades still. At least I did last month. Security support ends 2020. (April I think). Why not the latest Lilypond? Because I'm doing a quick job and that was the latest version when I had time to upgrade. -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html

Laisser vibrer over silent bar

I'm trying to engrave a piece whose penultimate bar has a l.v. note at the end, and a slur which extends over the last, otherwise silent, bar. I can't see any way of getting LP to extend the slur - it finishes at the end of its bar. I've got round it by putting invisible notes in the last bar and

Re: Bar counts and repeats in repetitive music

Thanks for your comments Jeffery. Here's some of the music I'm trying to set. I'm not worried about the full score aspect, just the piano part. As you can see, it doesn't indicate how many repetitions there should be, and the bar numbers don't increment correctly. This is just a one-bar

Thanks all for putting me right. I have to say that the documentation is very confusing as to the syntax. From the Learning manual: which implies that the brackets are needed, but it's followed by: and later by: which don't have the brackets. How does the parser know when the variable
