Tweak beam slashes for small staves

Hello, This snippet produces very nice slashed grace note beams: http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=721 However the slashes don’t adjust properly for smaller staves that are tweaked with the \magnifyStaff function. In the example below, the slash on the second (smaller) staff is too high

Re: Some text formatting advice

Hi Urs, I have been wanting a way to specify an absolute width for measures since I started using lilypond. It would be great to have this. But I fear it will never be forthcoming. I understand this is difficult if not impossible. Although I personally think it is a sort of musical abuse of what

Some text formatting advice

Hi, I need some advice on text formatting. This page: http://reader.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/fs1/object/display/bsb10527451_00056.html (http://reader.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/fs1/object/display/bsb10527451_00056.html) exposes a number of challenges that I'm not sure how to solve. The

Staff-brace-like horizontal spanner

Hi all, I'm looking for a way to create a horizontal spanner that looks like a PianoStaff brace, which automatically grows horizontally without scaling the whole shape. The model can be seen on this page: http://reader.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/fs1/object/display/bsb10527451_00050.html Of

Change vertical spacing of piano system (single)

Hi all, What is the best way to go about changing the vertical distance between piano staves (RH/LH) for only one /particular/ system, as needed, rather than the whole instrument throughout the piece? Here's my code so far, as an example: \version "2.19.81" \new PianoStaff \with {  

articulate with grace notes and contexts fails barline check

I think this is a bug, but I wanted to run it past the users' group first. The heart of the problem is that the function articulate is not producing the correct MIDI output with grace notes in certain situations. The symptom is that a bar check fails. Below is a MWE. I know it doesn't look
