Re: AutoBeam Behaving Properly?

Kieren, You hit the nail on the head! Living in the southwestern U.S., I find myself going nuts between 6/8 and 3/4 - WSS is the perfect example - except that here we go back and forth without any actual notational indication (except maybe a hasty pencil mark). My head hurts by the end of my

Re: AutoBeam Behaving Properly?

Carl, Thanks for the additional detail - it was very helpful - at least for me. Unfortunately, it is probably a bit too much info for our young (second-year) viola student. I'm trying to keep his parts as "playable" as possibly. He needs to focus on tuning and confidence at the moment -

AutoBeam Behaving Properly?

Hi All, I have encountered an auto-beaming problem (actually, the Violist for whom I'm doing transcriptions brought it to my attention). When working in 3/4, Lilypond is autobeaming 8th notes in groups of 3 8th notes per pulse (as if it were 6/8) rather than in groups of 2 8th notes per pulse.

Horizontal collision of left and right spanner texts

Hello list, \version "2.18" .. "2.19.39" I would like the left and right bound-detail texts of a TextSpanner to keep apart. Right now, they overlap horizontally in a fearful way. What can I do to keep them apart? \score { \new Staff { \override

Re: how to send raw MIDI?

There is really no way to do this? E.g., this source code http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/lilypond.git/tree/lily/midi-control-function-performer.cc#n74 seems to indicate that I can set values for properties but I'm forced to name them, and the name gets translated to a number via the table at the

Hi list, I am working on a large score with several ties. You might have read about Janek's thoughts on a tie-crusade and maybe this is related. I don't have a perfect solution on this topic, but I could reduce the needed shape-tweaks significantly. I want to share it - probably it helps one

Ciao Martin, - Which Lilypond version did you installed? - If you installed Frescobaldi could you test if the "import midi" feature works? To test it: File/Import/Import midi and then specify a simple midi file. In my tests it should not work IF you have Lilypond version 2.19.39 and 2.19.36
