Hi, I just finished typesetting one of my very early piece. I want to ease the writing when every time using Chinese font ile simfang.ttf, so I put an override font-name line in mydefs.ly. I have defined lots of things used very often in this file. But the log file says this override is

Greetings everybody, a few days ago Neil sent a new snippet to be added in input/new : Adding text indications to metronome marks. It involved quite a lot of typing, so I tried to come up with a function that would be easier to use. Here's my code; it works quite well on simple examples, but on

I thought I would ask the list's collective knowledge before I begin this, has anyone here any experience with having an introit for a choral piece, say for a mass that begins wtih a quotation of a chant. I can think of several ways to put a single measure, slightly smaller, without time

Okay, so I was a bit mistaken, I've gotten everything done except centering the measure. I thought I could use something simple like indent = #0 line-width=measureLength, but that was a big not. So, is there any way I can accurately (and easily) center a measure horizontally on the page?

You can use a \markup \score construction. Here it is placed in the subsubtitle: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=250 You could also place it in a separate \markup section between the headers and the real \score. Andrew On Fri, Apr 25, 2008 at 7:16 AM, James E. Bailey [EMAIL PROTECTED]
