Hi everybody ! Bonjour tout le monde !
Very glad to reach this mailing list : I've beginning with Lilypond2.0 since 3 months, and discovered some tricks on my own, but I still very depend on what you know about it ! So, a few questions :
1. I'd like to edit some of my music in lanscape layout : what should I do ?
Already answered by others.
2. I'd like to use ancient musical object in baroque music (I'm "lilyponding" Marin MARAIS pieces for the viol), that don't appear in Lilypond libraries. How can I create my own libraries ? (just like in FIANLE, where you can get such issue) ?
What do you mean by "musical objects"? If you mean articulations, I hope you have seen the full list of available symbols at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Articulations.html In order to add new ones, the most difficult task is to add the symbol to the font (requires competence in the Metafont language and a good taste for the layout). Once that's done, the rest is easy.

And now, a trick :
I couldn't manage to include properly grace notes without messing up the general page layout (pb with length of measures). To avoid this, I indicate \property Score.timing = ##f in the \note block and put the bars where I want, regardless the real length of my measures. It's very usefull with ancient music, where the global beat was not always respected. I've not tested yet, but I think that doesn't match the MIDI behavior at all !
I'm not sure what problems you experienced with \grace{...} (or \acciaccatura or \appoggiatura). This is the recommended approach and helps to avoid all kind of problems when you want to match the timing between the several parts in the piece.
