Symbol to indicate an unmetered (cadenza) bar

2014-04-17 Thread James Harkins
I'm writing a piece that will have a few cadenzas. In the cadenza pseudo-bars, I want to print some kind of glyph where the time signature would normally go, to indicate that this bar is unmetered. My first thought was a 0, and I found in the manual that I can actually get the 0 to appear in

Dear LilyPond users, I am doing musical examples for a book, and the publisher requires a precise width of 4inches. Is there any way to accomplish this in LilyPond? I can set the line-width or the paper-width to 4 inches, but in both cases LilyPond will produce slightly wider examples to

Have you considered using lilypond-book? Yes I have occasionally used it, but this work is for OUP and they will only accept eps or tiff files of musical examples. I'm not sure how lilypond-book would help. The author (not me) is probably submitting the work in .docx or some similar format.

I haven't tried this, but might setting a custom page size of 4\in width and then setting margins to 0\cm in the paper block do the trick? Best regards, David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org

I think, if you don't specify a key at all, the music will always be in C (no accidentals at the staff's beginning). Of course the notes have all necessary accidentals. Best, Robert On 18 Apr 2014, at 04:09, a.l.f.r.e.d.o lompo_la...@yahoo.se wrote: Hi, everybody. I sometimes have to
