Melisma line

What to do to make the melisma line continue just for the time the slur continues from the end of measure 1 through measure 2. During measure 3 the singer shall be silent, but this melisma line indicates something else. I have failed in every effort to stop the line after the slur ends, by

Re: Dots wrongly positioned in not merged chords - Final

Hi folks, Thank you all foradvice, sparkling ideas and brilliant thoughts. When I put my question onto the forum I had a hope for hints about a property of some grob or engraver something. Which I could just change a value from ##t to ##f and the landscape suddenly should show up as it was

Re: Dots wrongly positioned in not merged chords

Hi Karlin, Thank you for your suggestion on the partcombiner. I have to admit I have not used that facility much. In fact I did not find it very useful when I introduced myself into LilyPond, so that is a white spot on my map. Maybe I should  look at it a wee further. Your snippet did

Re: Dots wrongly positioned in not merged chords

Hi David, This was an interesting solution, which indeed produces the image I am looking for. Well the MIDI-file does not sound as expected, but that is not a too big problem. One often has to produce two different scores anyway, one for the layout and one for the midi. Well, this was an

Re: Dots wrongly positioned in not merged chords

Hello again Andrew, Yes, this is exactly what I do, even if I did not want to make my snippet too complicated by introducing also the piano staff. You could of course use four staves, but in real life often two staves are used with two voices in each. Often however life is not that simple,

Re: Dots wrongly positioned in not merged chords

Hello Andrew, In my LP 2.18.2 I get this result: which (as you assume) is absolutely not what I want. I see you have a more modern version. Does it produce another sheet? It is possibly a good image for the director in the phase of getting a rough idea of how the music sounds, but for the

Re: Dots wrongly positioned in not merged chords

Hello Andrew, Thank you for your comment. It is piece for a choir (SATB). Maybe unusual, but I think it is easier to read the notes for each individual voice if they are not merged, easier to separate e.g. sopranos from altos, which are both on the same staff. But when the dots do not attach

Dots wrongly positioned in not merged chords

How do I get the dots follow the notes? The normal way for LilyPond is to merge (dotted) notes if they have the same pitch, the stems are different and the note heads are equal. I search for a way to disable this merge. I want the notes and chords stand beside each other, but have not found

Re: Titling problem

Hello Ralph! I have found that, when I myself want a separate title page, I put that in a separate bookpart, and so have you (well you get the bookpart implicit defined, as you start with the \book definition). But to avoid the title on the music page you have to duplicate it to that bookpart

Combining \tag with \quoteDuring does not work

In movements where the music jumps between different sections marked with segno signs, one has do deal with those in a quite different way in the layout and the midi scores. Then the \tag is of good help to exclude parts in the layout score that has to be there in the midi score. Now, if two

Well, if not an exception so at least another behavior than the one I described in my first sentence. Try your example with R1 replaced with r1 and you will see what I mean. You may call it anything you want. /Kaj On 2016-06-14 23:07, Simon Albrecht wrote: On 14.06.2016 21:22,

Re: Re: Repeated notes

As David writes, the syntax is correct in writing as you do, but the result is quite different from what you intend. Test with a simple example, and you will find out. You will see that time has been multiplied, but not the note or rest itself. The only exception is the R1, the multi-measure

MIDI and template for dynamics

Hi all, Using a template for dynamics is a convenient way of writing, when dealing with voices following the same dynamics pattern. Basically it works very well for producing beautiful scores, and also controlling MIDI. But now I have found something that might be a bug, even if I hope it is

First I will declare, that I am not 100 percent sure this is a bug, but friends of mine, musicians, say it probably is. Also, as I am not an expert, I have tried to learn by searching on among others Wikipedia. It is about chords, a few of them. It started when I should clean write a score

Re: Re: Chords and what they mean

Well, time to thank you all for your efforts to get me understand what I am doing. As (almost) usual there already exists a solution in LilyPond, but it is hidden by so much else, so you do not find it. In my country we sometimes say that "you do not see the forest because of all the trees"
