I noticed that the default duration has changed from 4 to 1. Is this
an intentional permanent change? It screws up many of the examples
in the reference manual. (And I think quarter notes are a better default.)
Is there a way to do repeats when there is a partial measure involved?
The following screws up:
\score{
\notes \relative c' \type Voice {
\repeat 2 { \partial 4; c4 | d e f g | }
\alternative { { c d b } { d e f g } }
}
}
What about back to back repeats? The following gives an assertion
failure:
\score{
\notes{
a4
\repeat 2 { a4 b c d }
\repeat 2 { a4 b c d }
}
}
How can I specify a chord whose duration is longer than a whole note?
\type ChordNames { \chord{ A1*2-min } }
gives me a parse error. And \times doesn't work either. I can't use
a spacer note. So it seems to be impossible to have long chords of
general length. Of course, in the example above I can use \breve.
But what if I want a chord that lasts for 3 whole notes? Or what
about 2.5 whole notes? Is there a mechanism for getting this kind of
length?
I get the following message when I use \type ChordNames:
/home/adrian/lily/share/lilypond/ly/performer.ly:56:25: warning: can't find or create
`ChordNames' called `':
\type "Score_performer";
Why does my second extender request get junked in the following:
\score{
< \notes \relative c''{
a4()b()c()d c()d()b()a }
\type Lyrics \lyrics {
foo1 __ bar2. __ _4 }
> }
It seems that \cr and \decr don't work any more.
\score{
\notes{
a \cr b \rc c }
\paper{linewidth=-1.;}
}
Gives me
qq.ly:3:9: warning: can't find (de)crescendo to end:
a \cr
b \rc c }
Use of semicolons is still rather confusing. They are obligatory
after some types of assignments and illegal after others.
\property foo=bar illegal
foo = 3 at top level illegal
foo = 3 inside \paper obligatory
foo = \notes{ ...} top level illegal
foo = \translator{ } in \paper obligatory
As far as I can tell, the sole accomplishment of this syntactic
irregularity is to keep the user as confused as possible.
I was trying to get interstaff beams to work and did this:
\score{
\type GrandStaff <
\type Staff=one \notes\relative c'{
\stemup
[c8 c \translator Staff=two \stemup c c]
\translator Staff=one
\stemdown
[ b8 \translator Staff=two a8]
\translator Staff=one
c4
}
\type Staff=two \notes{ \clef bass; s1 }
>
\paper{
\translator{
\GrandStaffContext
minVerticalAlign = 3.0*\staffheight;
maxVerticalAlign = 3.0*\staffheight;
}
linewidth = -1.;
}
}
The beams are at the right angle, but they aren't in the right place.
