Re: Tremolo/triplet problem

[William Rehwinkel via LilyPond user discussion]

Dear Ralph,

I think this replicates how the original score looks:

\version "2.25.7"

\relative b {
  \clef alto
  \time 4/4
  \tuplet 6/4 { b2.:8 } c4.*2/3:8 d4.*2/3:8 | c2.*2/3:8 b4.*2/3:8 a4.*2/3:8
}

Any suggestions? I imagine the simplest solution would be to simply go 
with half and quarter notes as tripletted with the tremolo mark, but I 
kind of like the composer's notation.

Hi Ralph,

Shouldn’t the d be 4. [not 4]?

Re: search and replace on all included files on compile

[Michael Winter via LilyPond user discussion]

Thanks Curt,

Unfortunately, I have already manually edited to the extent that tweaking the 
generating program would result in a lot of lost work. Typically I try not to 
edit post generation, but that was not possible in this particular case.

I am on arch linux. And yes, I am sure it would be possible to do it through 
the terminal, but I am trying to avoid destructively editing the files (simply 
out of fear even though I could always roll back). I would be replacing only a 
few unicode characters, but many, many occurrences.

Best,

Michael

Re: search and replace on all included files on compile

[Curt McDowell]

Michael,

You mentioned that the score is programmatically generated. If so, can
you modify the generating program and regenerate the score?

Otherwise, a more complete example would be nice. Are you trying to do a
simple string replacement of a few (unicode) characters, or are you
trying to replace larger chunks of LilyPond code?

It would also help to know what operating system environment you are
using. The answer may be to make a copy of the whole tree and run a
search/replace utility recursively on all the files.

Regards,
Curt

[HELP] RemoveAllEmptyStaves not working.

Hello. I'm writing a score of a song of which there are 16 measures of only
rests in two instruments (the rhythm and the drumkit). I've used the
RemoveAllEmptyStaves command to remove (obviously) the unnecessary staffs.
However, the drumkit doesn't get removed like it should.
The drumkit staff is independent by itself; it is not part of a group
staff. It is, however, a DrumStaff.
I've looked at the documentation (Hiding Staves
) and
found a similar situation (the double bass not being removed). However, the
D.B was not removed because it was part of a section/group staff. Adding
injury to the cause, I was not able comprehend the use of "Keep_alive"
commands.

The property you'll want to modify here is the bar-extent of BarLine - this
sets the Y-extent of the bar line. Example:

\version "2.24.3"

\score
{
  \relative c'
  {
\time 9/4
\slurDown

\override Staff.StaffSymbol.line-count = #2
\override Staff.BarLine.bar-extent = #'(-0.5 . 0.5)
f4(g) a f(g) a(g) g2 |
f4(g) a f(g) a(g) g2 |
\break
  }
}

which produces:

Tall bars in two-line music

[David Wells]

Hi,

I'm working on typesetting some chants with two lines per staff and the 
resulting barlines are too tall. Tiny example:

\version "2.24.3"

\score
{
\relative c'
{
  \time 9/4
  \slurDown

  \override Staff.StaffSymbol.line-count = #2
  f4(g) a f(g) a(g) g2 |
  f4(g) a f(g) a(g) g2 |
  \break
}
}

output:

Here, I expect the barlines to be the same height as the staff (i.e., not 
protrude) and I cannot figure out how to make that happen.

Interestingly, if I add a lot of lines to the staff then the bar is lengthened 
correctly - the problem seems to be that it is too short.

Best,
David

If you use Lilypond's automatic fret diagram functionality, the fret
diagrams will be transposable, but the transposition may not be exactly
what you would manually do for a transposition.  You can also control the
automatic fret diagram construction by adding string numbers to one or more
notes in the chord.

myChord = {

altChord = {

minChord = {
