Oh yes. Thank you so much Valentin. Also I will remember to format the 
code better next time.

instead.

While you are at it: You can directly boxify the stencil using box-stencil
without going the extra way over a markup. Also you could format your code in
a more readable manner (which helps understanding problems) like this:

\version "2.22.0"

   (grob-path) (key-list?)
   (define proc
 (grob-transformer 'stencil
   (lambda (grob orig) (box-stencil orig 0.1 1.25
   #{ \override $grob-path . stencil = #proc #})

#(define (center-stencil stil)
(ly:stencil-aligned-to (ly:stencil-aligned-to stil X CENTER) Y CENTER))

redDotMultiMeasureRest = {
   \override MultiMeasureRest.stencil =
   #(grob-transformer
 'stencil
 (lambda (grob default)
   (ly:stencil-translate-axis
(center-stencil (ly:text-interface::print grob))
(interval-center (ly:stencil-extent default X))
X)))

   \override MultiMeasureRest.text = "."
   \override MultiMeasureRest.font-size = 10
   \override MultiMeasureRest.color = "#FF"
}

\header { tagline = ##f }

\score {
   \new RhythmicStaff {

See 
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/setting-automatic-beam-behavior 



In engraving from the Romantic and Classical periods, beams often 
begin midway through the measure in 3/4 time, but modern practice is 
to avoid the false impression of 6/8 time (see Gould, p. 153). Similar 
situations arise in 3/8 time. This behavior is controlled by the 
context property beamHalfMeasure, which has effect only in time 
signatures with 3 in the numerator:


\relative a' {
  \time 3/4
  r4. a8 a a |
  \set Timing.beamHalfMeasure = ##f
  r4. a8 a a |
}

Hi,

In a normal musical notation when you have a time signature of 3/4 
and have a dotted note, eighth note, eighth note and an eighth note - 
that the first eighth note should have "no beam". This is how other

I know there is a \noBeam markup but in my case this is be difficult 
to use as I'm dynamically generating the notation.


Any advise will be helpful. See the attached image for illustration.

You'll also notice that the stems of the last note in each measure are
apparently thicker than the others.

This isn't LilyPond's fault, but the fact that you've chosen to
generate a PNG raster image of the output. Were you to generate
a PDF, you would see the same phenomenon on your monitor at low
magnifications, like 120%, because the screen is a raster device,
but increasing the magnification would quickly eliminate the
effect, as seen at 2000%. (Screen is 443x249 mm showing 1600x900.)

While we're about it, here's your Melody expanded 8x, and
Lilypond's flat at 8000% (rotated to use the screen area).

The main point is not using \tweak transparent ##t, but using the same
drawing for the note heads in both cases so that they have the same 
width.

You should replace this line:



 \tweak transparent ##t b,



with

\tweak transparent ##t \RedDot b,

(moving the definition of RedDot so it's defined at the

Hi Everyone,

I want to hide all the notes but display it's accidental. I can do the 
opposite of it by using \hidenotes and \omit Accidental. I want to 
achieve something like the below image. Please help.

Remove \stopStaff and \remove "Staff_symbol_engraver", and add

\hide StaffSymbol

This works because the ledger lines are displayed by a separate
grob (LedgerLineSpanner).

To get the alignment, you need to do a few things.  The markup itself
needs to be vertically centered, and then the staff-position of the note
can be forced to be on the middle line:


\version "2.22.0"
\language english

questionMarkMarkup =
\markup \vcenter \fontsize #7 \with-color "#6A00F4" "?"

questionMark =
\tweak text \questionMarkMarkup
\tweak stencil #ly:text-interface::print
\tweak staff-position #0
\etc

{
   \cadenzaOn \clef bass
   g,1
   \questionMark a,
   \questionMark b,
   \questionMark c
   d
}

Alignment help

[Rajesh Baskar]

Hi,

I'm trying to replace some of the notes with a question mark and I achieved 
this with this group's help sometime back. Here is the Lilypond file -

\version "2.22.0" \language english
questionMark = \markup {\fontsize #7 \with-color "#6A00F4" "?"}
\header {tagline = ""}
\score {\new Staff \with {\remove "Time_signature_engraver" }
{\set Staff.midiInstrument = #"Acoustic Grand Piano"
 \key c \major \time 5/1 \clef bass
 g,1
 \omit Accidental \override
 NoteHead.stencil = #(lambda (grob)
   (grob-interpret-markup grob questionMark)) a,
  b,
  c
  d \bar "||"}

}


This generates a staff with the question mark in an ascending pattern as shown 
in this image.

[cid:9b97dfb1-a009-46b4-83a4-8b98eb74d53b]

But I want the question mark to be within the staff, like the below image.

[cid:1a71965f-da9d-419e-bf96-02cfd55c95db]

Can someone help me with aligning the question mark?

Yes. Here is a simplified example:

\version "2.22.1"

\score {
   {
 \startMeasureCount
 <<
   \hideNotes b'4 a' g' a'
   \new Voice { R1 }
 >>
 \stopMeasureCount
   }
   \midi { }
   \layout { }
}

What's happening here is that you are not
telling LilyPond about the delimitation between
your voices. Since the b'4, a', etc. are not
grouped in any way, they form individual expressions.
In other words, the indentation is misleading and
this is interpreted as

\version "2.22.1"

\score {
   {
 \startMeasureCount
 <<
   \hideNotes
   b'4
   a'
   g'
   a'
   \new Voice { R1 }
 >>
 \stopMeasureCount
   }
   \midi { }
   \layout { }
}

Because there is \startMeasureCount at the
beginning, a new Voice is started. Then you have
this polyphonic construction, which spans a new
Voice for each of the notes and a last one
for the \new Voice { R1 }. This puts all of
the notes in parallel at the same moment.
Because \hideNotes happens in the voice that
is continued from the beginning, it applies
in this voice before the voices for the notes
are branched off, so \hideNotes still affects
them even though the construct is not doing
what you want. The solution is simple: group
the notes with braces. To end the \hideNotes,
either create a new voice explicitly instead
of continuing the main one, so that \hideNotes
will not bleed over the following music, or
insert \unHideNotes at the end.

\version "2.22.1"

\score {
   {
 \startMeasureCount
 <<
   \new Voice { \hideNotes b'4 a' g' a' }
   \new Voice { R1 }
 >>
 \stopMeasureCount
 c'1
   }
   \midi {}
   \layout {}
}

or

\version "2.22.1"

\score {
   {
 \startMeasureCount
 <<
   { \hideNotes b'4 a' g' a' \unHideNotes }
   \new Voice { R1 }
 >>
 \stopMeasureCount
 c'1
   }
   \midi {}
   \layout {}
}

Please try to remove everything in your examples not actually related 
to the problem at hand (here, for example, everything having to do 
with MIDI, proportional notation, boxed measure counters etc.).


What comes to mind is that your question mark is exactly in the 
position where you would normally expect a whole bar rest. So how about:


\version "2.22.0"

#(define (center-stencil stil)
   (ly:stencil-aligned-to
    (ly:stencil-aligned-to stil X CENTER)
    Y CENTER))

questionMarkMultiMeasureRest = {
  \override MultiMeasureRest.stencil =
  #(grob-transformer
    'stencil
    (lambda (grob default)
  (ly:stencil-translate-axis
   (center-stencil (ly:text-interface::print grob))
   (interval-center (ly:stencil-extent default X))
   X)))
  \override MultiMeasureRest.text = "?"
  \override MultiMeasureRest.font-size = 7
  \override MultiMeasureRest.color = "#6A00F4"
}

\new Staff {
  \clef bass
  <<
    { \hideNotes b2 c }
    \new Voice {
  \questionMarkMultiMeasureRest
  R1
    }
  >>
  \unHideNotes a2 c'4 g
}

One could of course wrap the simultaenous addition of the tweaked full 
bar rest in a music function.


The reason I'm using such a comparatively complex stencil override is 
that the default positioning of the MultiMeasureRest (which is what we 
want here) is handled in the default stencil; if we overwrite that 
function completely, we don't get the nice centered alignment we want.

You can exchange the note head by a markup:

\version "2.22.0"

\language english

questionMark = \markup \general-align #Y #CENTER {
  \fontsize #7 \with-color "#6A00F4" "?"

  \once \override NoteHead.stencil =
  #(lambda (grob) (grob-interpret-markup grob questionMark))
  a
  bf c'
  \bar "||"
}

If you want to do this more often, you might define a shorthand (that 
then should also contain a "\once \omit Stem" etc.)
