Re: How to insert an "auxiliary" staff for divisi strings?

2013-01-23 Thread Mark Witmer
Sorry, I forgot that crucial step. You can name a context when you create it: \new StaffGroup = "violinII" \with { ... } { ... } That's the value you can use for alignAboveContext and alignBeforeContext. Thus: \new Staff = "violinIdivisiB" \with { alignAboveContext = "violinII" } { ... }

You can specify remove-first for an individual staff rather than the entire score, either by putting \override VerticalAxisGroup.remove-first = ##t inside the Staff's \with clause or by putting \override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup.remove-first = ##t at the beginning of the music for the staff. >From

Re: Between-staff beam wrong direction

2012-12-29 Thread Mark Witmer
Thanks Shane, That helped. Beam.concaveness doesn't affect the vertical spacing between staves, so the beam is in the right direction but the stems are too short. I combined it with a different tweak to widen the space between staves and it worked pretty well. Mark Witmer On Fri, Dec 28,

Between-staff beam wrong direction

2012-12-28 Thread Mark Witmer
he stems connected to the beam, but the first causes unwanted space between staves elsewhere in my score, and the second simply increases the downward slope of the beam. Thanks, Mark Witmer <>___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

You can do that with Scheme. I don't know if there's a LilyPond command for it. #(display ) will display what you give it, either a plain string or an expression. The results aren't always totally useful (give it a \paper{} block, for example, and it will just say #) but that's a start. #(newline
