Polymetric notation and percent repeats
Hi all,
I'm writing a piece of music with compound signature time 4/4 + 3/4
(i.e. alternating measures of 4/4 and 3/4) with:
% Create 4/4 + 3/4 time signature
tsMarkup =\markup {
\override #'(baseline-skip . 2) \number {
\column { 4 4 }
\vcenter +
\column { 3 4 }
}
}
and then:
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'text = #tsMarkup
\clef bass
\time 7/4
I can't get the percent repeats printed properly according to the
compound signature time.
\repeat percent 2 { d1 \bar | d2. | }
This outputs two measures as one would expect (4/4 + 3/4), followed by a
_single_ 7/4 measure with a percent sign.
I would like to get two measures with a double percent on the bar
between the two.
I've tried using this hack:
\repeat percent 2 { d1 \skip 2. | \skip 1 d2. | }
This works, but the result is ugly because of the horizontal spacing
introduced by the skips.
Does anybody know how to use percent repeats with polymetric notation?
Regards,
Francesco Casadei

No time signature?
I'm new to Lilypond. I've been looking for a way to typeset music without time signatures. This is because I'm transcribing chants that often use _recitativ_ and rarely follow any strict meter--the rhythm of the chant is completely text-driven. Hello Alyozhik, When I'm doing metreless chant from parts of the world where people have names like Alyozhik, I remove the Bar_number_engraver and Time_signature engraver in the layout block and \set Score.timing = ##f in a global definition. The second takes care of both timing and bar lines. If you look here http://www.holycross-hermitage.com/kliros/lilysource/kliros.ly You will find lots of tricks for making this kind of music, including one that lets you cruise through the whole piece without even adding invisible bars for line breaks. This is defined as \chant. However, it messes up the spacing just a wee little bit, so I almost always go back and put the line breaks when I'm done.

Staff alignement
Hi,
to keep two staffs nearer I've used the command-lines
\overrideProperty
#Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn
#'line-break-system-details
#'((alignment-offsets . (0 -8)))
but it works fine only for the first system!
In the second one the staffs are already normally distanced.
I've tried to repeat the above command-lines befor the first bar of
every score system and it works only sometimes (!?!).
I've also tried this:
\overrideProperty
#Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn
#'line-break-system-details
#'((alignment-offsets . (0 -8)))
{ c4 c c c ... the all 2nd staff...}
without result.
Suggestions?

Modern digital technology provides possibilities that were not feasible with old printing techniques. And no, this does not necessarily mean that new printing look better than old printing, either. As anyone who has seen books typeset in 14pt Times Roman can confirm... I like the way LilyPond does it, but sometimes I'd like it slightly better when it would be just a little bit lighter.

Re: Lighter appearance
This will always be a kludge. The font and the line width settings are tuned together. If you really want to do this, you have to recompile LilyPond including the fonts, and update the definitions for the fonts too. On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 8:58 AM, Dmytro O.
