Re: trouble installing

thanks for the suggestion, Jon; i tried it and got the same error. i thought it may have been my python installation, but removing it didn't seem to help either. -steve ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/li

repeats and ties

could someone point me to where can i find the answer to this: a note at the end of a repeat section needs to be tied back to the first note of the section thanks, -steve (2.10.20) ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.o

back-to-back repeats

more: chords as text markup

hope these questions aren't too stupid or nitpicky: i am trying to add chord symbols as text markup rather than through chords mode, because i can't make sense of the process as outlined in the manual or regression tests (my problem). in the following example, in changing font to verdana, i seem

name of chord font?

hello, what is the name of the font used for chord names? i'm adding chords as text markup (version 2.10.20), and I would like the chord symbols to look distinct from the other text. thanks, -steve ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org

re: jazz chords superscript

mats advice helped; i'll post the code as reference for anyone else. note: i'm still trying to decode the regression test- what's the "ignatzek" thing all about? is that something someone added to lilypond, and the program will know what to do with it? here's the code: \version "2.10.20"

jazz chords superscript

hello, i'm trying to define a set of custom chords for use in jazz charts, and i would like to be able to have the numbers (7, 9, 11, 13, etc) raised above the chord name. I use Brandt-Roemer standardized chord notation, so my chords look like Cmi7, Cma9, Cdim, Cmi7b5 etc. I've checked out the

increase space between system staves

hello, i have my blank score sheet almost perfect, just need to increase the space between the staves so the clefs don't overlap. when i insert \override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-5 . 5) within "/new StaffGroup", it increases the space between systems instead of the staves

hello, i'm trying to place a turn in between two note heads, but can't even seem to move it from the stem down to one of the heads; _\turn doesn't seem to do anything. thanks again, steve \version "2.10.20" \score { \relative c' {fis4-- \breathe gis8.-> dis16--~ dis8 %%% place turn he

scoops

hello, i saw the section in the manual for falls and doits, but nothing for scoops, which look like doits, but come before the target note. is there any way to do this? thanks, -steve ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.g

running lily from right directory

parenthesize a group of notes

hello, can someone point me to the place in the manual where it is shown how to place a group of notes in parenthesis? the \parenthesize command only works on single notes in a chord, according to the manual. i want to place {r16 fis gis b} in parentheses thanks, -steve __

lowering objects

hello, i've learned that, to raise an object (an articulation, for example), one uses: \override Script #'padding = #3 but what about lowering? neither of the following: \override Script #'padding = #-3 \override Script #,padding = #3 seem to work. thanks for the help! -steve __

raising rehearsal marks

hello, i've figured out how to add rehearsal marks (boxed measure numbers) to the score, but some of them appear at the beginning of the line, and overlap the treble clef. any way to move this up a bit? thanks, steve ___ lilypond-user mailing list lil

parts from score or score from parts?

hello, i need to do a bunch of three-horn arrangements of pop tunes; and it's better for me to check everything if all three staffs are on the same page in a score. my first attempt was to write all the parts individually, then combine them into a score. This seems to be the easiest way with my

Re: Bar line at the left end of each stave

Just so this doesn't get lost in the discussion, I wanted to make sure that the space that is made available by removing the clef is used for notation, and that I don't end up with a bar line on the left, followed by a big space, then notation which is spaced as if there were a clef there. That c

Thanks, that helped; but I overlooked the fact that this would also leave me with no bar line on the left. I tried adding \bar "|" at line breaks, but no luck. any ideas? thanks, -steve 2007/4/2, Mats Bengtsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:The easiest way is to insert a setting to make it invisible, s
