Hi, I would like to change the amount of horizontal space for a specified duration in the middle of a line (reflecting a tempo change) globally (without having to deal with compress music for each staff). Is there a way to override the setting of Score.proportionalNotationDuration on the fly, or

I hope you have looked in the manual for version 2.9, which is much better than version 2.8 in this aspect. In particular, look into section Advanced tweaks with Scheme and references therein. /Mats Orm Finnendahl wrote: Hi, can someone point me to the documentation of parametrized

Just as any other context property, you can set it with \set. Example: \relative c'{ c d e f g f e d \set Score.proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 64 ) c d e f g f e d \unset Score.proportionalNotationDuration c d e f g f e d } /Mats Orm Finnendahl wrote: Hi, I would

The slurs follow the musical voices (i.e. the Voice contexts in LilyPond), so as long as you let the voice change staff, the slur will follow. See the example called slur-cross-staff.ly in the Regression Test document included in the on-line documentation for your version of LilyPond. /Mats

There is no direct support for such slashed beams in LilyPond, but if you search the mailing list archives, you should find some tricks that people have used as a workaround. Basically, what you can do is to add a slash as a text script and then move it around to the desired position. /Mats
