Hello,
Use \override #'(baseline-skip . 3) *before* the \wordwrap command.
There is no such thing as a "line-spacing" property.

Hello,
Although using extra-offset gives the desired look, I tend to use another

In this case, the padding property sets the spacing between the bracket and

In your case I would change the value of

Hello,
Instead of putting \transpose cis' a you could put the enharmonic

Then you would have a F# instead of a Gb, but that would change the other
pitches as well in the new (equivalent) tonality.
There is also the naturalizeMusic function documented in NR 1.1.2 Transpose

Salut Jean-Pierre,
It depends, if you use Fret diagram markups that you enter yourself using
\fret-diagram, then effectively a \transpose does not change these.
But if you use Predefined fret diagrams (with \include "
predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly" for instance), then a \transpose works.
\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"
\new FretBoards {
\chordmode {
\transpose c d {

}

The advantage of using \finger is that your indication is applied as a

Actually in this case with the default value of avoid-slur of 'around the

See the code below (it is probably different than the code you used, but
you get the idea):

aTempo = ^\markup { \italic "a tempo" }

Hello,
Should the "L" mark really be considered as a Fingering object? Because as
you currently define it, it's a TextScript.
Should it always be kept inside the slur?
In that case adapt your definition of "left" to this:

Hello,
Removing "Bar_number_engraver" from the Score context and adding it to the
Staff context (or the first staff with \with if you have more than one

It should give you the same bar number positioning as if the Dynamics

Hello,
slashSeparator is a markup.
You can scale it for example with the scale command
system-separator-markup = \markup \scale #'(1.5 . 1.5) { \slashSeparator }
% 150% in X and Y, change to your convenience
Or change the definition of slashSeparator, which is
slashSeparator = \markup {
\center-align
\vcenter \combine
\beam #2.0 #0.5 #0.48
\raise #0.7 \beam #2.0 #0.5 #0.48

My problem is that there are 8 lines of score with single staves, and then multiple lines with Solo and Tutti staves. The first line with two staves has all rests in the Solo staff. I can get LilyPond to go single staff for the opening, but I can't get it to do that and keep the first (all rests) line of the Solo part.

Hello,
The best way is to look at the definition of oddHeaderMarkup and
evenHeaderMarkup in ‘ly/titling-init.ly’ and to modify it accordingly.
If you comment (or remove) the lines containing \fromproperty
#'header:instrument, you get what you want (see below).

\fill-line {

Hello, Looking at the Internals Reference for Tie there is a "horizontal-distance-penalty-factor" parameter in the details property that seems to correspond to what you are looking for.

I will see with text mark or an alternative like the ones proposed by Jean.

Hello, Your problem is indeed apparent if you make the hidden notes visible (without \hideNotes). In this case I would suggest to remove \voiceThree in your "lower" and instead use \voiceTwo or \stemDown.

Deprecation of instrumentCueName and instrument switch stuffs
Hello,
While replying to a query on the French-speaking list I realized that in
the latest versions of LilyPond the instrumentCueName property was
considered deprecated (as well as the engraver
"Instrument_switch_engraver", the grob "InstrumentSwitch" and the music
functions instrumentSwitch and addInstrumentDefinition).
Commit 5df7147b5977b010179bab53c2e077d559ec8ed7
This is a property that I commonly use (see typical example of my use
below) and I don't understand the rationale for removing it. Furthermore I
find promoting simple "catch-all" TextScripts (attached to an empty chord,
cf. NR 1.6.3) to indicate the instrument cue name a bad practice when you
can have a dedicated property and grob.
With a dedicated object it is cleaner, "modular" and future-proof: if you
want to adapt the size or font of all the instrument cue names you just
have to modify the properties of this object. With the approach promoted
now you have to search for all occurrences where you have induced the
instrument cue name with a TextScript and modify them.
So I agree that the old approach wasn't perfect (especially the mix of
instrument cue name and instrument switch, two uses for one
object/property/engraver), but in this case I'd rather have two properties
(instrumentCueName and instrumentSwitchName), objects (InstrumentCueName
and InstrumentSwitch) and engravers ("Instrument_cue_name_engraver" and
"Instrument_switch_engraver"), than remove everything!
Thanks for your attention and have a nice day.

Use system-system-spacing as described in NR 4.1.4 Flexible vertical

I've found snippets explaining how to get this to look right (subito in normal italics, the "p" or "pp" in dynamic font), and another snippet showing how to create a custom dynamic that correctly sets the midi volume, but not one that does both. What is the best way to add a text prefix to a dynamic whilst also retaining the dynamic's effect on MIDI output? > Hello, You could adapt Graham's "make-dynamic-extra" into a "make-extra-dynamic". https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2011-06/msg00335.html IIRC the alignment was correct (dynamic part was aligned on note head ) and it was correctly recognized for MIDI generation. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2017-08/msg00381.html Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer

Hello,
It looks like #6093 but it has been fixed and closed (and I don't
understand the ins and outs of the discussion between developers).

Hi Werner,
I have always considered Lyrics contexts to be on the same level as Staff
(so I never put a Lyrics context inside a Staff context, but always above
or below).
So I would have thought that adding the Mark_engraver to a StaffGroup-like
context (like ChoirStaff) containing both the Lyrics and the staff (see
below) would solve the problem. But it doesn't. I would tend to consider
this a bug.
\score {
<<
\new ChoirStaff = "choirstaff" \with {
\consists Mark_engraver
} {
<<
\new Staff = "staff" {
<<
\new Voice = "music" {
<<
\top
\music
>>
}
\new NullVoice = "aligner" {
\music
}
>>
}
\new Lyrics = "lyrics" \with {
alignAboveContext = "staff"
} \lyricsto "aligner" {
\text
}
>>
}
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove Mark_engraver
}
}
}
Cheers,
Xavier
