Before choosing an editor to work with, do not forget to look at the Flash demos of LilyPondTool, especially: http://lilypondtool.organum.hu/tut03-myfirstsong.htm and http://www.organum.hu/126.0.html Then you can choose any other editors, but keep in mind what you lose :-) Bert

brackets around noteheads

2006-12-02 Thread Orm Finnendahl
Hi, I would like to write noteheads with brackets around them (preferably square brackets) without using Markup commands, as most of them have to be on ledger lines and it is very awkward to get those drawn. It would be very nice to enter the notes in question using a new voice context in order

I wrote an instruction for the bottom margin like this: \version 2.10.0 \paper{ bottom-margin = 3\cm } and it seems to work, only the actual bottom margin is bigger than the 3 cm specified. Concerning the titles for the pieces, I don't get it. I tried different ways, like this one:

sorry, I forgot to mention: The following construct *doesn't* provide a solution as the parnethesis is far too small and only parenthesizes the notehead. \set fontSize = #-4 \once \override Stem #'transparent = ##t \parenthesize fih4 \set fontSize = #1 The parenthesis should go around the

DynamicLineSpanner padding

2006-12-02 Thread Orm Finnendahl
Hi, I observed a nasty behaviour trying to set the #'padding property of the DynamicLineSpanner: The \p and \pp are not baseline-aligned with the \ff or \mf. Has this been reported before? To me this looks like something which should rather get corrected in lilypond itself than cluttering the

Hi, as a follow-up: The same seems to apply for TextSpanners in general. In the following example, the baselines of the s.t. and s.p. aren't aligned either: \override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #'(s.t. . s.p.) f2~ \startTextSpan f2 \stopTextSpan | It looks pretty bad and the only fix in this

Something has changed in jEdit's defaults, but I've already noticed it. You should have no problems like this in the next version of LilyPondTool (2.10.1, coming next week). However, if you find something not working, you can report it at the project page, where I can track problems. (And by
