Re: Typesetting exercises with blank space

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi James,

 here is how I normaly do it (you can of course wrap this into a
definition called emptyBar and use rests if you need Midi ouput:

\relative c' {c d e f \hideNotes c d e f \unHideNotes c d e f }

 I want to create an exercise for some beginning composition
 students, where I will provide some short melody fragments sprinkled
 through a longer score. Most measures will be empty, but I want
 LilyPond to leave enough space for the students to write in their
 own notes. I looked in the notation reference at horizontal
 spacing (which appears to be concerned more with note spacing) and
 breaks (where I found quite a bit about allowing extra breaks,
 which is the opposite of what I want).
 
 I'm sure it's documented, but 1/ my mental map of the LP
 documentation isn't comprehensive enough and 2/ my brain is fried
 and I simply can't think of a reasonable search term for this at the
 moment.
 
 I could imagine either:
 
 - a setting to force a certain number of bars per system, or
 
 - an override to set the minimum measure width.
 
 Thanks,

 Try :
%
\version 2.18.2

{

   \repeat unfold 3 {

   % set 3 measures per system :

 \repeat unfold 3 s1 \break

   }

}


 \score {

   { \repeat unfold 9 s1 }

   \layout {

 \context {

   \Score

   % set a minimum measure width :

   proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1/30)

 }

   }

}
