Changing fonts in headers

This is a request for help in changing the font of the title to Goudy. Based on what I read in the manual, this is my best guess for how to do it, but is not working (unexpected override). Thanks ahead of time for any help provided. Michael Millett \version 2.8.0 \header { \override

Re: Evolutionary User Strategy - A Compromise

Maybe a distinction should be made between bug fixes and other changes, e.g new features and syntax changes. I would not expect the developers to preserve bugs, but beyond that I think it is reasonable to hope that a file I create in version 3.0 should look the same if I process it using version

Might be an idea to look at Antlr then ... I don't know how effective it would be, but part of the purpose behind the v3 rewrite is to increase the number of languages that Antlr can generate. If you can define the grammar in Antlr it could then chuck out a lexer/parser written in Scheme :-) Is

I hesitate to call this a bug, as I'm not sure if there's some reason that this functionality is intended. Example 1: \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left) a-1 b-2 c-3 d-4 The fingering is printed above the notes, no matter what fingeringOrientations is set to. Example 2: \set

TextSpanner length?

Consider: \once \override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #'("CVIII" . "") s8\startTextSpan s8 s4 ss\stopTextSpan | This makes the TextSpanner too far to the right for my taste, so I move it with: \override TextSpanner #'extra-offset = #'(-2 . 0) However, the line of the spanner is now too

Ahh, cunning. A negative amount of shortening didn't occur to me. Might I recommend that the documentation be changed from: The lengths to shorten a text-spanner on both sides, for example a pedal bracket to something like: The lengths to shorten a text-spanner on both sides, for

Dear Micheal, I use the code you give as not-working in your emails all the time to change fonts in the header, except that the { } aren't necessary (although I don't think that's the problem). I suspect that Goudy as you've written it might not be the font's real name. Open the font file and see
