Mike, I like the idea. The ability to have some formatting is good (e.g. to highlight code fragments) and being able to search is nice. Of course the key thing is to have the people who know lilypond really well using it too :-) (that excludes me!) On Mon Dec 22 2014 at 4:08:18 PM Mike Kilmer

This is an interesting discussion. From the point of view of functionality, I agree with the Stack Overflow approach. I find it hard to agree that one really can get as much out of the content that's been posted if it's shared in email digest form. Certainly we have many powerful tools at our

markup functions

I have a bunch of repeated things like this d f \mark \markup \italic \magnify #0.7 "(tenor & trp.)" r16 where I put a little instruction over the melody I'd like to have a little function to call instead of \mark \markup \italic \magnify #0.7 "blah", with the "blah" as a parameter.

13th chord?

2017-02-25 Thread Rob Torop
When I enter a 13th chord like this e:13, it renders with a 9 as well. I know a 13 chord officially contains the 9 and 11, and that lilypond by convention will omit the 11. But I don't really want to have the 9 showing. Do I inadvertently have some setting on that is giving me this? [image:

lilyjazz?

I'm trying to use lilyjazz with 2.18.2 on os/x. I installed it with lyp and it seems to have worked. But when I try an example, a maj7 is rendered strangely as shown in the the screen grab below. The biggest problem is that it doesn't seem to like flats or sharps in chord names (see the ">").

How to create measure with only slashes

2017-01-19 Thread Rob Torop
I'dlike to create a measure that has 4 forward slashes in it (only). This does almost what I want except of course it has the rest at the start: \repeat percent 4 { r4 } Is there a way to get just 4 slashes? ___ lilypond-user mailing list

"alt" notation for chords

I found some old threads where people were talking about supporting a modifier for chords so that g:7alt would be rendered as in this example: [image: Inline image 2] I realize that this would pose a problem for midi generation since (I think) such a chord is non-deterministic. That is, the

How can I get a repeat symbol in the chord names part of lead sheet?

2017-01-12 Thread Rob Torop
I'm trying to figure out what to use for a chord name to get a "repeat" (percent) sign over one of the measures. Below is a complete small example. I want C over the first measure, repeat over the second measure, and D over the third measure. I'm sure this is trivial - I just can't find it!
