The Barbers Adagio for violin, clarinet and organ is working great. But while writing I came across the following problems/issues/questions...
First, I'm on SuSE 6.3 running Lily 1.2.17.
I couldn't add any "stuff" to chords. For example, if i did <c e g>, that worked fine, but if I did <c e g>-\fermata, I would crash. I tried several different styles, and nothing worked. Same goes for any markings, such as dynamics, etc.
I wanted to print the organ part with the violin above, but in a smaller, light size. Can I have two different staff sizes on one score?
Is there a way to set Lily to print the score and the parts in one file? I had to copy the file four times and adjust the \score block to print the parts.
Related to that, I couldn't seem to make \transpose work on the \staff block...I had to put it in the \notes block for that part. Hence I have a score that has the clarinet staff in a different key from the rest of the parts. I'd like to be able to use the instrument's native key for its part, and \transpose when I print that part on the master score.
I'm not entirely clear on octaves. Its hard to know when you're typing in the parts whether you need to give it a ' or a ,. The only way I could do it was to do the best I could during entry, and then compile, look at it, go back and change it again. And of course the octave change affects all the notes after it...just wondering if anyone had a helpful tip on how to make this easier. Yes I'm using \relative...maybe that's actually making it more difficult?
I couldn't figure out how to print the part names next to the staves. What I ended up doing was putting in text above the first note on each instrument's part, but of course this didn't propagate to the other pages.
How do you print page numberings? They show up in kghostview, but not in print.
How do you print either numbers in squares, or measure numbers. Again, I did this by putting text above a note, but if that not happened to be a chord or something, I couldn't do it, so violin ended up with some measure numbers and clarinet with some others.
Thanks for a great tool! Despite my issues, I have a beautifully typeset piece of music!
Thanks,
Tim
