What do I have to do to get the page to print just like the .pdf? I am using jedit/ jpedal on XP. Below is my code for this particular page. most pdf viewers or printer dialogues have an option scale page to fit printer margins or something similar. i've run into this issue before when i've forgotten to ensure that the printer doesn't scale the printout. technical reasoning behind this option is that a lot of pdfs have content all the way to the edge of the page and this content would otherwise be cut off in the printout, so by default, the printer driver will scale a pdf down to fit the printer margins. So how do you get it to print properly if you DON'T want it to shrink to fit? (ime, it then prints the page, full size, but offset down and left by the printer margin!) I've found it IMPOSSIBLE to get the pdf to print cleanly on a sheet of paper, full size, properly centred. Cheers, Wol In Adobe Acrobat, I use no printer scaling, and automatically center. That gets it how it's supposed to be. At least for me. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

This gets rid of the number: mmrNoNum = \once \override MultiMeasureRestNumber #'stencil = ##f as in: \mmrNoNum R1*16 Cheers, Robin Thanks, that's one I haven't seen in the NR or LM or Snippets. I placed this in my global overrides so it effects the entire page, which contains horn parts for 10 raggae songs (they're short parts).

Re: chord naming question

But, one problem that is inconsistent is the placement of the flat symbol. I have to use a modified semi-german chord naming method because the person I'm engraving for likes Bb (with the flat symbol), and H for B natural. I notice that in my modified chord init template, with \set chordRootNamer = #(chord-name-german-markup #f) I get that, but the flat symbol is engraved as a superscript, and the default has Bb with the flat symbol inline with the B. I would gladly modify it myself, but I don't really know where to look for how that's configured. Can someone point me in the right direction? You modify the flat symbol in the file scm/chord-name.scm. There is a function alteration-text-accidental-markup that sets the amount the flat is raised. You could redefine this command in your .ly file, and you'd eliminate the raising, without having to modify the distribution file. HTH, Carl Thanks, hopefully I'll figure it out from this! ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: piano notation element
2009/2/7 Antanas Budriūnas antan...@gmail.com: Hello, in piano scores when a particular note (chord) in the upper staff should be played with the left hand, a bracket of inverted L shape is placed before that note. I believe it is either in LP documentation or in Snippets, but unfortunately I can't find it. Could you point me please... Possibly something like LH = \markup { \postscript #0.2 setlinewidth 0 0 moveto -1 0 lineto 0 -5 rlineto stroke } { e''^\LH } A good design would have taken into account the pitch instead of having a fixed height, but I could be a starting point anyway. -- Francisco Vila.

Many ways to skin a cat -- if the vocal part is in a separate voice from the accompaniment, a simple \new Lyrics \lyricsto vocal or similar will just work.

Re: songbook from Lily scores
Zoltan Kota wrote: I have been using Lily for a year now, and I have several music scores as separate lily files. I would like to make a songbook including them, with cover page, table of contents, correct page numbering, etc. How should I start? What sectiones should I learn in documentation? Lilypond-book? Any useful info and tips are welcome! I've written one thing with Lilypond-book and I'm very happy with it. It just works. It is, for now and for me, the killer application for LilyPond over ABC. You put your LilyPond code in there with your LaTeX markup and there's the LilyPond in the output. I don't have any amazing anecdotes to report because all it does is exactly what you expect. The main bug is that it doesn't recompile the music if an external dependency changes, so you need to delete the working files. Of course, LaTeX has its own learning curve but the stuff you're talking about isn't that difficult. Lilypond-book itself is very simple. If you want my example, here it is: http://x31eq.com/magic/tripod.pdf And the source code, if you want that: http://x31eq.com/magic/tripod-code.zip Graham ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
