Re: How to show 4x repeats?

2006-09-26 Thread Markus Schneider
Hi Arjan, AFAIK you have to either use a text markup to indicate 4x or use manual repeats if you want a bracket. See http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond/Manual-repeat-commands.html#Manual-repeat-commands Text spanners might also work, but they start/end on notes (not on bar

I don't see any really good solution to your problems. Actually, I think the main problem is not what LilyPond can do but rather how to typeset this in general to make it readable. The best idea I can come up with is to shift all the cue notes to the left (or right). In LilyPond, you can do
