You have been given a working example with the correct property names, and LilyPond puts out a flurry of warnings about the wrong property names: warning: cannot find property type-check for `fingeringDirections' (translation-type?). perhaps a typing error? Computers are traditionally bad at divination, so starting with copy&paste rather than retyping things and/or trying to go by memory might be a good idea. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
RE: Orientation of Ornaments
Mr. Kastrup: Thank you for your reply and instructions. Changing the two "apostrophes" to one "quote" allowed the file to compile. As a beginning student of Lilypond (about six months) my inquiries are at a basic level. I appreciate your patience and that of others in the user's group. Although the file (see below) is generated, the mordents are above the chord rather than to the left of the middle pitches. mor = #(define-event-function (parser location)() #{ \tweak #'text \markup { \fontsize #5 \musicglyph #"scripts.mordent" } -1 #}) \relative c'' { \once \set fingeringDirections = #'(left) < g, c\mor e > r8 < d' f > \once \set fingeringDirections = #'(left) < c e\mor g >4 r8 < e c' > | } Where is my error now? Again, I thank you for your kind and patient attention.

I tend to ignore private mails or answer with long delay. For now I've quoted your mail and cc'ed the user-list. On topic: My code compiles without problems on my machine with 2.16.1. I assume a copy/paste-error or the wrong version (it will fail with 2.14.2) Cheers, Harm ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Mr. Morley: Thank you for your response and the two suggestions. I shall "play" with both of them. You have assisted my learning.
