Re: Bend
Hey Paul, \lheel is what I had in mind, except it looks more like a "U," while I am used to seeing something a bit flatter. I'm surprised there isn't something for this as it's not so uncommon in jazz. But, I might have found something that kind of works: instead of ^\lheel (^ ensures it is above the note), I am using ^"◡". After a quick google search, I found out there is ascii code for the lower half of a circle. I feel like this is a good, 90% solution.

Easy enough to do using \markup and \sub, as in:
<<
\new Voice = melody { c'2 c'2 | c'4 bes4 f'2 | }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto melody { \lyricmode {
"ooh!" "ooh!" C O \markup { \sub { "2" } "!" }
} }
>>
There are a number of variations possible: \super for superscript,
\normal-size-sub for subscript without making the font smaller (which
might be easier to read even if it's not standard chemistry usage), and so
on. In general, you can just break into \markup and use any of the usual
markup commands. See "Formatting text" in the Notation manual:

subscript in lyrics
Hello LilyPonders,
I'm a lyric poet writing songs about science.
"CO2" is three syllables and often works better than "carbon dioxide".
It's acceptable even if "2" doesn't appear as a subscript (one sees this usage
frequently), but subscript would be cool.
A superscript option would be cool too.
And example of "CO2" lyrics appears below.
As for LilyPond Notation Reference, I congratulate the person who chose the
following example text to demonstrate divisi lyrics on the "Techniques Specific
to Lyrics" page.
} \new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" { They shall not o -- ver -- come } \new
Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" { We will _ }
On the one hand, I don't really expect a solution to my stated problem; on the
other hand, near the bottom of the page Techniques Specific to Lyrics, when I
encountered the example cited above, I reacted passionately to "They shall
not..." becoming "We will overcome" -- a definite sense of the Muse at work.
This definite sense was perhaps the intellectual thought that paralleled my
passion.
Well-chosen! and Thanks for the Inspiration!
David Olson

A couple of points:
* Is there a reason you are writing " \time 3/4 \set
Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 9/8" and then scaling by 2/3 rather than just
writing "\time 9/8"?
* Why are you writing "\time 3/4 \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 3/4"
instead of just "\time 3/4"?
* "\scaleDuractions 1/1 {}" is doing nothing and can be removed.
Applying my suggestions to your music, you get this, which seems to work as
you want it to:
\version "2.24.2"
\language "deutsch"
\relative c'' {
\time 3/4 c4 c c c2 c4
\time 3/4 c4 c c c2 c4
\omit Score.TimeSignature
\time 3/4 c4 c c c2 c4
\undo \omit Score.TimeSignature
\time 3/4 c4 c c c2 c4
\time 9/8
\repeat unfold 3 { f8 ( d a ) }
\repeat unfold 3 {e' ( cis a ) }
\repeat unfold 3 { f'8 ( d a ) }
\repeat unfold 3 { g' ( e c ) }
\repeat unfold 3 {a' ( f c ) }
\repeat unfold 3 { g' ( e c ) }
\repeat unfold 3 { f8 ( d a ) }
\time 3/4
cis4\trill cis2 d4 d4. c16 d e2 e4 f4 f4. g8 e2 e4 f d d ~ d8 cis d4 d4
\time 3/4
d2 d4\fermata
\bar "|."
}
Re: Force LilyPond to show same time signature again
I have messed around with this little lab specimen here, and I have
found a solution, but it is weird. You obviously (after having scaled
some rhythm just once) have to explicitly unscale the rhythm e v e r y
time you want it to appear in the staff. I have extended the example
with a short quote from the piece I am typesetting. this is what
obviously works:

If you just type "\time 3/4" at the end for instance, you won't get
your time signature shown. At least this prodecure is completely
unintuitive, I think.

This is where tiny examples (https://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html) are
important. Build an example of the problem with as little other stuff as

Bend
Hello friends, I thought this was recently covered, but I haven't been able to find what I need. I'm looking for an articulation to add that will indicate a note is supposed to bend down, before bending back up again. Usually I see it looking something like an upside-down fermata, without the dot. I can do this in Musescore easily, but I've never found a satisfactory bend like this in Lilypond. I have a script for a scoop, and I know about \bendBefore, but not this one. Thanks! Brian
Re: Force LilyPond to show same time signature again
What you suggest sounds all so common-sense, but LilyPond still does
not get it...
If I implant "\omit Score.TimeSignature" and "\undo \omit
Score.TimeSignature" into my code instead of the previous commands, I
get this - see screenshot.
But if I do something really basic like:
\version "2.24.2"
\language "deutsch"
\relative c'' {
\time 3/4 c4 c c c2 c4
\time 3/4 c4 c c c2 c4
\omit Score.TimeSignature
\time 3/4 c4 c c c2 c4
\undo \omit Score.TimeSignature
\time 3/4 c4 c c c2 c4
\bar "|."
}
it works as expected. It really seems to have something to do with the
scaled rhythms - that is my guess.
Unfortunately my exact situation is not covered in the NR - at least I
could not find anything.

We are happy to announce the release of LilyPond 2.25.15. This is termed a development release, but these are usually reliable for testing new features and recent bug fixes. However, if you require stability, we recommend using version 2.24.3, the current stable release.

You could use \omit Score.TimeSignature instead of \override Score.TimeSignature.stencil = ##f and use \undo \omit Score.TimeSignature for \override Score.TimeSignature.stencil = ##t If you wanted to shorten it more, you could put this at the top of your file: stopTimeSignature = \omit Score.TimeSignature startTimeSignature = \undo \omit Score.TimeSignature Then you could use \stopTimeSignature \startTimeSignature in your file. -- Knute Snortum
Re: Force LilyPond to show same time signature again
If I do this, I get other unwanted results - see screenshot. The
problem is that I am switching back and forth between scaled and non-
scaled rhythm. And as you will notice, the 6/4 only appears in the
piano staff and n o t in the top parts. And the 3/4 also does not
appear (although I think it should) in the top part like in bars 195
and 197...
Is there no simple way to just toggle "\override
Score.TimeSignature.stencil = ##f " ?

Re: Force LilyPond to show same time signature again
This line:
\override Score.TimeSignature.stencil = ##f
means that the time signature will not be displayed (its stencil is set

Re: Force LilyPond to show same time signature again
This time w i t h screenshot attached - sorry about that... Delete
the previous one ;-)
Unfortunately this does not work - because I have tried exactly this
one, and there is no time signature. I attach a screenshot of the
passage. My piece is in 3/4, and in the top part in bar 185, I have to
do some rhythmical scaling, whereas the other parts continue in 3/4. I
could as well have written triplets, of course, to achieve the same
musical result, but I wanted to keep the original 'flavor'.
I bar 199, for the top part, I want to revert to the original 3/4, but
\time 3/4 does not do the trick. It even does not show a time signature
which is different from the previous one, although LilyPond typesets it
ok. As you will notice, I have set a (nonsensical) 6/4 signature there
in all the parts for testing purposes.
There must be some other mechanism involved which prevents the time
signature from being indicated, but which one?
Here's the top part code for the passage in the screenshot:

Could it have something to do with the scaling applied before?
