So I have my Ubuntu VM setup and per the link from Jean, I've ran autogen, but when I try to do "../configure --enable-cairo-backend", it says "configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH". How should I fix this? On Mon, Jul 18, 2022 at 2:57 PM Silvain Dupertuis < silvain-dupert...@b

Great, glad you could get it working Kenneth. Speaking for myself, I found it easiest to think of \repeat tremolo in the same way as the other \repeat commands... the first number is how many times the note repeats. -William On 7/18/22 20:44, Kenneth Wolcott wrote: Hi William; Thank you!

Hey Kenneth, I think you may want to write `\repeat tremolo 4` instead of 2, because that will signify four repeating eighth notes, which will result in the time of a half note...unless i am misunderstanding. Thanks, -William On 7/18/22 20:34, Kenneth Wolcott wrote: Hi; I was able to g

Hi; I was able to generate two half-note, single-slashed tremolos in 4/4 time using the colon syntax, but do not understand how to get the same effect with the repeat tremolo syntax: \repeat tremolo 2 8 \repeat tremolo 2 8 | % m01 2:8 q:8 | % m02 bar #2 is

It'll be interesting to be able to ouput SVG directly to get snippet which can be integrated into other documents. Actually, one can get SVG files using Inkscape : import the PDF file (using PopplerCairo orption),  edit at will, select parts, crop, etc. and save as SVG. This is what I did for

Thanks for this, David. As unfortunately my method (set \header{tagline=##f} and run lilypond -dbackend=eps —png file.ly) doesn’t work for SVGs. -William Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 18, 2022, at 14:36, David Wright wrote: > > On Mon 18 Jul 2022 at 11:28:26 (-0500), DoubleFelix wrote: >> >
