I'm not sure, but -p is used for generate PDF files (it uses Type1 fonts) whereas -P generates PostScript output with bitmap fonts. Look at your /usr/(local/)share/lilypond/1.8.0/fonts if there are afm and tfm fonts... Olivier arie-lily wrote: On Fri, 2003-09-26 at 02:23, Olivier Cloirec

r1 resting bars

2003-09-26 Thread Ralph Little
Hi, [I got the strange wide spacing of multi-measure rests as well as Paul! Until I upgrade, I will avoid using Multi-Measure rest markup] I have noticed that on 1.8.2 a single bar rest with r1 (4/4 time) results in the rest not being centred in the bar. Is this by design or is it a bug? It does

Thanks for the note about R1/r1. You are quite right. A quick replace s/r1/R1/g should fix that :D Regarding the Multi-measure rest issue, I thought that a change was added to CVS. I've just upgraded from 1.6.4 to 1.8.2 and I'm just getting over the shock! Maybe I'll have a go shortly, but it

opinion on next install

Hi, Quite awhile back, Lilypond had issues with gcc 3.x, in which I could never get it to compile. I am installing a new machine, and debating on Slackware 8.1 (gcc 2.95) or 9 (gcc 3.2.x). Which would be better, to limit the problems I might have? Thanks, Bryan

in the following: \score { \notes \relative c' { f g c~f g c } \paper { raggedright = ##t} } it seems clear to me that the tie between g's should go up, to avoid colliding with the tie between f's. unfortunately, that does not follow the rule of curving away from staff center. i have not been

feature request: better chord tremolo with whole notes

How about having better support for chord tremolos when whole notes are involved? In the example bellow, not only the beams in the first measure should be placed bellow the noteheads, but they should be also more inclined, like in the second measure. Any changes to see that in 2.1? :-) \score {

I am unable to transpose chord names correctly. If I enter chords as e1:m7 f1:maj7 etc then they print correctly on the score but do not transpose with the rest of the score. My notes and key signature do transpose correctly. If I enter e-minor7 chord as e g b d then it transposes but
