Hi Joe, Set Beam.positions. I use this concept continually, for my work, in almost every bar. Here are a couple of utility functions I wrote that you may find handy. Nothing special, just convenient. setBeamPos = #(define-music-function (left right) (number? number?) "Manually set beam pos

Please see the code fragment below. In measure 2, I want to shorten the stems of the first two beamed notes. I tried using \override Stem.detail.beamed-lengths, but I cannot get it to work. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks for any help that you are willing to prov

Because stanza numbers only appear on the first line. Using instrumentName to label verse numbers provides automatic numbering on every line. It wasn't my idea, actually, credit for that goes to Thomas Morley a few issues ago in Vol 163:issue 95. It works quite well. On 7/1/2016 1:30 PM,

Well, so this will get rid of the time-signature, \override TimeSignature.break-visibility = #all-invisible But I still can't get rid of the three sharps that go with the clef. This keeps on appearing at the end of the line and I can't get rid of it. It seems to persist no matter what setti

During my piece I have a \break which causes the time-signature to be inserted at the end of that line, but all my music fits onto one small page, so I don't want that extra markup. So how do I suppress the extra time-signature at the end of the line? I found this, but it doesn't seem to do

Ah! I think I got this one: \override LyricText #'extra-offset = #'(0.8 . 0) This will allow me to add extra space between the numbers (which are in the right place) and the start of the lyric text. On 7/1/2016 10:46 AM, Br. Gabriel-Marie | SSPX wrote: There is this one song that is in c-mi

There is this one song that is in c-minor and so the key signature shows the three flat signs at the beginning of each staff. But c-major doesn't need any extra signs. However, I am numbering my lyrics like this so that I get numbers on every line: \new Lyrics \with { instrumentName = "8." s
