Hello lilyponders. I'm new to music, and very new to lilypond, but I thought I'd take a shot at using lilypond to typeset Greensleeves, since the printed version I am learning from is just a stream of notes, its printed representation obscures the repetitive elements.
Attached is what I have. Notice how the bars don't line up? I know that's traditional in sheet music (maybe because space was a premium on vellum?), but I'd like to see them line up so I can scan quickly and see how the patterns more easily. Thanks! Sam
