Make visible note silent

2012-06-04 Thread ornello
Hello *, is there a way to make a visible note silent? It should be displayed when creating PDF, but not played when creating MIDI output. Or do I have to replace these notes by silences in my LY file for generating the MIDI file? I know the \killCues command for cue notes, but how do I remove

Hello Hwaen, thanks for your hint. But I think tags are not exactly what I am looking for because they do not make notes silent but completely remove them from the score. This may work for notes without duration (e.g. trills or grace notes) but not for notes with duration to keep the music

Piano centred dynamics and justification

2012-06-04 Thread Hilary Snaden
I've just rewritten a piano score to use piano-centred dynamics, and it has had the unfortunate side-effect of de-justifying the last system, similar to setting ragged-last = ##t. Is this a known bug (I've searched already!) and is there a workaround? (Explicitly setting ragged-last = ##f
