half height barline | full width staves
Hi all! Two small questions: 1) Is there an easy way to get half-height barlines..? (so only through the top two staff lines) (I have used ticks now, but that's not quite it) 2) I would like my music to be spaced normally, but the staves to always span the entire page from left to right. (so: leaving unused empty staff space on the right half of the page) I am using \break for the staff breaks, but this spreads my music evenly across the entire line) Suggestions how to achieve this? Best regards, MJ ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Given that there is also a directory ./common which hold a couple of other to-be-included files I'd add the directory that you extracted your ZIP in to frescobaldi's include paths.

There is also a patch in lilypond-patches/lilypond.patch, and looking through lily/page-turn-page-breaking.cc I can see that that patch is not applied in the git repo. You might need to apply that patch too succeed, who knows. Unfortunately the patch doesn't apply cleanly to neither version 2.11.39 nor 2.13.7.

Well, the music-function `parenthesize' is a special in some way and
not very flexible ...
If you want to parenthesize some sequential music look at this LSR-snippet

for a workaround.

lyric on a rest | parenthesis
Hi,
Two short questions:
Is it possible to lyric text on a rest? (it auto-skips, now)
I'm using \addlyrics { \words }, and there is a quarter rest that needs
a word, just like all the other notes. Is that possible?
And the second minor remark: I am surprised to see that this:
>> \parenthesize { c8 c }
does not work to get two notes between two parenthesis?
What's the logic behind that?
For the rest: I'm getting more and more used to lilypond, and depending
on the kind of music, it can be SO much faster than finale.. :-)

You are putting a spurious FretBoards into that override.

but there is seems to be ignored.
You should have been getting a warning/error message. I have to admit,
however, that this does not happen.
So perhaps my question should have been: Why would the information I
learned from the lilypond docs work in my main file, but stop working
when I put it in a 'global' included file?
Because it is not the same information. In a context definition,
\override is directly followed by the respective grob name rather than a
repetition of the context name.

Re: two beginners questions
Hi Phil,
Thanks for your reply. The page you reference (which I read) is where I
found the code that I used:
\new FretBoards {
% Set global properties of fret diagram
\override FretBoards.FretBoard.size = #'1.2
This DOES take effect in my main file like this:
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames \chordNames
\new FretBoards {
\override FretBoards.FretBoard.size = #0.8
\chordNames
}
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "Sop" { \melodySop }
\new Voice = "Alt" { \melodyAlt }
>>
\new Staff { \melodyBas }
>>
}
But I would like to put this setting into my global include.ly file,
like I did with the ChordName font-size:
\layout {
indent = 0\cm
\context { \ChordNames
\override ChordName #'font-size = #-2
}
\context { \FretBoards
\override FretBoards.FretBoard.size = #0.8
}
\context {
\Score
\remove "Bar_number_engraver"
}
}
but there is seems to be ignored.
So perhaps my question should have been:
Why would the information I learned from the lilypond docs work in my
main file, but stop working when I put it in a 'global' included file?
(while a similar setting in the same included file DOES seem to work)
("ChordName #'font-size = #-2")

Hi,
Just trying out lilypond. I have created my first file, using the "new

I am trying to alter two things:
- make chord names display smaller
and
- get the correct fret guitar diagrams, like the ones shown in the
docs here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/predefined-fretboard-diagrams#diagrams-for-guitar
(because all my fret diagrams seem to display wrong)
Below is my .ly file.
Tips or trics..? Thanks in advance!
\version "2.19.2"
\header {

global = {
\time 6/8
\key e \minor

chordNames = \chordmode {

}
To get guitar fretboards, add
\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"
at the top of your file. One way to make the chordnames smaller is to add:
\context { \ChordNames
\override ChordName #'font-size = #-1
}
to your layout block.

Two simultaneous key-change events
Is there a way to force lilypond to include two key changes back to back, separated only by a \bar :|. I get the two simultaneous key-change event error but would like to override or find a work around if possible. The piece goes from begins in b-flat major changes to e-flat major, it repeats back to b-flat major and finishes in the key of e-flat major. I am having trouble at the repeat sign. I would like to include the key change (b-flat) prior to the repeat and the second ending key (e-flat) after the repeat. My first solution was to use a spacer rest between these two key changes but that created a new empty measure with a lot of open space. I found guidance on putting the key cancellation and key signature before the repeat bar, but am unable to find out how to force the second key signature (the examples I found went from g major to c major so they didn't need additional sharps or flats to show up after the key cancellation/key signature change). The input below works to generate the key of b-flat major and a natural on the a. But doesn't generate the second key signature after the repeat. \once \override Score.BreakAlignment #'break-align-orders = #(make-vector 3 '(key span-bar breathing-sign staff-bar clef time-signature)) \once \override Staff.KeyCancellation #'X-offset = #-4 \once \override Staff.KeySignature #'X-offset = #-3 \key bes\major \bar :| \key ees \major I appreciate any guidance.
