Hi,
I'm writing a lead sheet with one staff with melody and chords and I have
the following problem: because I have some repeats (\alternative), the chords
are printed above it, and this creates lot of space between the melody and
the chords.
There is a way to move the chords closer to the melody,
Hello list,
I try to get along with lilypond for notation of african rhytms. Up to now
too difficult too grasp for a beginner, even for an experienced programmer
like me, because a lot of things (wishes) are too much besides the normal
music notation.
Is there anybody in Holland (I live in

Dear all,
I'd like to add the lilypond-book precompiler to the context menu of
.lytex-files, in order to convert them to a .tex-file with a single
right-click, something like:
lilypond-book %1
Of course, the problem is that you cant call a cygwin command as if it
where a windows shell command.
The easiest is probably to typeset it all using a single \markup.
Something like:
a4^\markup{\column {\teeny \sharp } { \musicglyph #scripts-turn }
{\teeny \sharp} }

Now I see, I should have noticed the problem earlier.
Just put a copy of the directory /usr/share/lilypond/2.4.5/ps/
below /usr/share/lilypond/2.4.5/dvips/. Probably the maintainer

You have to modify the first line to correspond to where the

I have wrote a converter to reading noteworthy composer 1.75 uncompressed file

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am currently busy with the encoding of our churchchoir's music in Lilypond
2.5.19 on a mandriva 10.2 RC-2 machine. The text is russian, and I am glad I
can use it now, because this project is now running for about 2 years,
waiting for the unicode-support in Lilypond.
Thanks for the answer. I did the following:
C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -c '/usr/bin/lilypond-book %1'
which seemed to work pretty good. But when I tried to run TeX on the
resulting file, I got the following error:
! I can't find file `lily-1609059631.tex'.

Since this isn't common notation practice, there's no builtin support
for it. The question is what kind of score you want to use it in.
If it's just a single staff in the score, then a whole note will be

I forward the feature request (or maybe it should be seen as a bug

When you use this, then the command will actually be run in your
cygwin home directory. For example, this means that the resulting

I don't have access to a running LilyPond for the moment, but I guess
that the relevant property to adjust is the space-alist of the
InstrumentName object. Also, since the corresponding engraver lives
in the Staff context by default, you have to explicitly say
\override Staff.InstrumenName ...

In the 2.4.x series you could simply write
\set Staff.instrument = Piano
or if you want more space:
\set Staff.instrument = Piano
instead of:
\set Staff.instrument = Piano
Doesn't this still work in 2.5?
