Hi, all. I've hit a small snag which I can't find an elegant solution for. In the following snippet I want to get the verbb text to show as italic. I can surround each element with \markup \italic{ xx } but that is ugly. And I can't seem to see anything obvious jumping out of the

Hi Massimiliano, Do use 2.19.82. Although it's modestly termed 'unstable', it is actually very very stable. This use of the term unstable is an open source development convention more than anything in the context of lilypond. The lilypodndreleases are remarkably stable in the last couple of

Thank you for your answer. I’ll do my best to learn Lilypond and Scheme properly, but I’ll have to do it step by step. Slowly. But I’ll do it. I like Lilypond and I love the possibility to script it through some external language. I have several scores to re-edit form previous versions

Hi Massimilano, Lilypond has few restrictions, but one is that it does not currently support slurs across voices. Refer to the Notation Reference manual Snippets sections for the topic 'Creating slurs across voices'. It shows how to use invisible notes to do this. I am compelled to say that

Sorry for answering so late. That’s the sign of my situation… using lilypond not everyday and when I do always with some urgency. In fact, my needs of fine tuning lilypond come from using a complex notation (I wrote last scores directly with Illustrator!) while having a poor knowledge of the

Klaus, Attached are a simplified LaTeX file and the two Lilypond files it references. Barbershop harmony is for unaccompanied voices, so there's no piano part or chord symbols, but from what you've written, I gather that seeing how the lilypond gets included in the LaTeX is what interests you.
