Hi all, This is really just a few observations on the including of graphics. I noticed it is possible to import eps files. This is neat. It turns out that you can move things about using the following: \markup {{ \vspace #21 \hspace #45 \rotate #45 % This must come after the vertical and horiz

Re: Feta font modifications by Janek

That is interesting. Janek's modifications are slight but make everything look a little tighter. I like it especially the different flags. Shane On Wed, Sep 4, 2013 at 5:17 PM, Peter Bjuhr wrote: > After a very helpful chat with Janek I have now another example. Now the > difference should be mo

Re: Tie placement in voiceTwo

That is an interesting notion. I will have to dig my copy out tomorrow and examine it, not remembering an such distinction at the moment. Shane On Sun, Sep 1, 2013 at 8:09 PM, Michael Rivers wrote: > I believe it was Couperin who distinguished between ties and slurs in his > manuscripts by using

Re: SMuFL

SMuFL has nothing much to do with preserving the Unicode standard. If you can get the Unicode consortium to participate in outlining SMuFL stuffs in its standard than it would be good, but an abstracted standard used by one or two applications is a bad idea especially for one text based like ours.

Re: Unkown LilyPond community.

I am surprised they did not bother to look around and simply declared copyright to such a thing. After all LilyPond as we use it has been around at least 10 years now. Shane On Mon, Jul 1, 2013 at 12:35 PM, Pierre Perol-Schneider < pierre.schneider.pa...@gmail.com> wrote: > While looking for som

lyrics 2.17

Hello all, i have been working on a small chorale arrangement project and I noticed that a syllable marked "xe- non" vs. "xe - - non" yields to different weights of hyphens. Also, I can not work out how to get the eighth notes to remain balanced. They all look like dotted rhythms without the do

Re: Bravura - new font...

There seems to be a lot of odds and ends missing in it. Particularly in the Chant notation, and time signature areas. I like the font in and of itself what I see of it. The whole idea of Smufl probably would be better served if it was not a "conscript" style encoding project. Eventually the Unicode

Re: cre - - sen - - do

No but if it is a relatively small score you can fight with using mark up and sort of spreading the bits out manually. I have done it a few times and it can work out reasonably well, but there does not at the moment seem to be an automagical way. Shane On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 1:11 AM, Derek wro

Re: Newbie problems

Searching yields far more benefits than wasted time. You will tangentially touch upon all manner of other really useful abilities in Lilypond when looking for something you are after. And as Mr. Kastrup pointed out, if you simply Google something it is helpful to include the version number you are

Re: xpdf broken on ubuntu

I have used Okular for quite some time, at least 2 years now, as the necessary point click plugin for Frescobaldi with Lilypond. It works fine on Ubuntu 12.10 and has since the last long term version. regards, Shane On Sun, Apr 7, 2013 at 4:49 AM, David Kastrup wrote: > Orm Finnendahl writes:

Re: Lilypond \include statements and the GPL

Can we all agree now that the law, justice, and licences are three different entities. And it would take the opinion of someone well versed in all three to quiet this ruckus. And furthermore even if we have a "solid" answer from a respected source, either justice or law could still supersede such a
