Re: Moving a volta bracket vertically

Dear Sven, 2008/4/27 Sven Axelsson : Could someone please tell me what the current way of moving the volta brackets down, possibly overlapping the music, would be? I've been wondering that, too, but I've found no magic bullet so far. Sometimes I have used extra-offset to lower the

The common alignment of the different endings is now handled by the VoltaBracketSpanner object, so to move the brackets vertically, you can use \override Score.VoltaBracketSpanner #'padding = #3 % Default = 1.0 However, if you want to lower it, then you could do as Risto propose, namely to

Hi Peter This is a case where \tweak is needed. All these markups occur at the same musical moment, so \override affects them all. Also the property to change is 'outside-staff-priority. This does what you want: { c'' -\tweak #'outside-staff-priority #200 ^\markup{\natural} -\tweak

This looks very strange. I just tried midi2ly on Windows XP using version 2.11.44 the other day, and couldn't see any such problems. I seems to recall some problems when running LilyPond in a working directory that's on another disk than the LilyPond installation. Could you please try if it

Itried to unpack the 2.11.44 tarball in Windows using 7-zip, http://www.7-zip.org/ and it worked well (apart from the duplicated files, which I will send a separate bug report on). Perhaps there was some error in the file transfer that caused your problems. For the language of the printouts,

Bravo Jay!! It works flawlessly!! The commas and single quotes work perfectly in the \relative blocks and the cautionary accidentals also work properly now. Thanks so much for your persistence on this as I don't have the programming wherewithal to do it myself. This is an *awesome* tool.
