Hi I'm in the process of typesetting quite a few pages of music for someone. So far I'm about 3/4 through one piece in lily 1.5.63 with these files:
lily-input: http://home.wanadoo.nl/atte/lily/intermezzo1.ly output from 1.5.63: http://home.wanadoo.nl/atte/lily/intermezzo1.ps scans of original's: http://home.wanadoo.nl/atte/lily/org1.gif http://home.wanadoo.nl/atte/lily/org2.gif http://home.wanadoo.nl/atte/lily/org3.gif http://home.wanadoo.nl/atte/lily/org4.gif http://home.wanadoo.nl/atte/lily/org5.gif But since this is my first big attempt at something in lily I have some question: 1) I've put the decorations (fingerings, crescendo, dynamics, pedalings, etc) together with the music. Is that the smart thing to do? Would it be easier to have stuff like that in seperate systems? I've heard the term "hara-kiri" and as far as I understand it's used for putting stuff in a system, that's not being displayed in the end, or? 2) There's a lot of clashes between almost everything. In general I think the slurs should be put further away from the music. Also the dynamics clashes with slurs (bar 19) and notes (bar 15) and sometimes (bar 15 again) it would be better to attach the slur to the stems instead of the noteheads. How are these thing improved? 3) He (the "customer", not esp I) would like a more "spaced out" layout, both horizontally, but also more space between staffs (would also solve, or at least help to solve some clashes) and systems. And It would be nice to have (or be able to put) a bit more space between the title and the music. How is that accomplished? 4) crescendo/diminuendo/dynamic markings should be possible to put either above and below systems + between staffs. How? 5) About versions: tt seems 1.6 is out soon, right? I would like to stick with one version during all this typing, without having to upgrade every week for the latest. Right now I obviously run 1.5.63, but would one of the first 1.6's be the way to go? I realize this is alot of questions at a time (and maybe I even forgot some...), but I would really appreciate some pointers. Some general thoughts about how far away I am from the "right way of thinking", but also some .ly-files, maybe in mutopia, that I can look at to figure out how I achieve what I need. Thanks in advance for any input :-) -- love, peace & harmony Atte _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
