FW: Cautionary Time Signature
From: jsmcwill...@gmail.com Sent: den 5 maj 2024 09:15 To: lilypond-user@gnu.org Subject: Cautionary Time Signature Firstly, I have reregistered since the support forum does not recognise my credentials! I enclose a snippet illustrating two problems I am trying to resolve in a piece containing a melody followed by a Trio section: 1. There is a key signature change before going into the Trio and I cannot get the cautionary signature, which normally occurs at the end of a line, to show up properly. The background staff is missing. 2. I want to have a indentation at the beginning of the Trio matching the indentation seen at the beginning of the piece. I hope some kind expert can help me resolve this. John McWilliam Shortened_lines_2.ly Description: Binary data

Octave control.
1. For the initiated this is a simple question but I have Been away
from Lilypond for some time. Now when I compile a simple piece of music the
control of note range seems to have disappeared. And I get increasing or
decreasing octaves - see example. Previously the program remembered where
the last note was and chose to keep within a range of 5 positions on the
stave - otherwise I had to specify going outwith this range using a comma or
' . Can you explain?
2. I cannot remember how to save my music in PDF format. Previously
saving the .ly file also saved a PDF copy.
All very elementary questions but I hope someone has time to answer.
P.S. On the plus side I am very happy to se that the export and import of
XML music files works much better now.

\repeatTie
The situation is a repeat section with time 1 and time two alternatives in which the time two alternative starts with a tie from the main repeat section, for example: d4\repeatTie e r r2 Is it possible to have the tie carry over to e. I have tried different constructs to achieve thïs but without success e.g. d4 e\repeatTie r r2 d4 e) r r2 d4\repeatTie (e) r r2 Suggestions will be gratefully recieved. jsmcwilliam -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/%5CrepeatTie-tp34141439p34141439.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Re:Tie
I hope these might help with where you're going - I think the second makes more sense! :) but then, I'm not a composer but a mere part time singer :) \quote author=jsmcwilliam Thanks for your input.

Tie
Question: How to achieve a tie from Bb in bar 5 to A natural in bar 2 Reference from manual suggests this is not possible: Quote: Known issues and warnings Slurs that span from a \repeat block into an \alternative block will only work for the first alternate ending. Also, slurs cannot wrap around from the end of one alternative back to the beginning of the repeat.

I am now able to write Codas in a satisfactory manner. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Coda-tp34067571p34077291.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Coda
/quote=Eluze here is the code for the cadenza (just copied the code from an old example so there might be possible improvements…) Thanks for your solution. I attach another, perhaps simple alternative, which includes spacing between the melody and coda sections using seperate \score sections. Its was previously published here but I didn't like the idea of a new score section for just a few bars of coda! Your solution is more logical but as a newbie, more difficult for me to understand. http://old.nabble.com/file/p34071206/Coda.ly Coda.ly -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Coda-tp34067571p34071206.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Coda
I need to write a coda which starts with a change in key and time signature. The example taken from the manual does not illustrate this requirement. All my attempts have resulted in visible a key signature and time signature at the end of the melody section (before the coda line). I want to hide this. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how this could be achieved? I include a snippet to illustrate the problem.
