First, I want to thank you all for the help I received from the questions
I asked a couple of weeks ago. The main problem turned out to be I was
using a development version. I hadn't discovered yet that Lilypond used
the same version number convention that Linux did. At least I helped you
debug the development version.
My main use of Lilypond is for choral music. My chorus occassionally has
nearly illegible versions of pieces that I try to transcribe to Lilypond. In
doing so, I've encountered a couple of problems that I hope you here
may help me with.
1) When key changes are introduced between bars, the key signature is
currently placed *before* the bar line. This didn't bother me too
much since the musical intention is clear, but my director wanted
the signature *after* a double bar line. But this:
\bar "||";
\key f;
doesn't do it. In fact, I couldn't discover any way to do this other than
manually editing the TeX file generated by Lilypond (very painful).
Can you, gentle readers, suggest a better way?
2) In several choral pieces, the number of staffs (staves?) changes over the
course of the piece. It may start in a unison with one staff, then split
into a tenor and bass staff (this is a TTBB chorus) with one or two
voices per staff, then later split into a staff per voice.
Is their a way to do this in Mudela?
