Thanks all! That did fix the problem. A student typeset this for me, and I was so fixated on the cadenza measure, I did not check the syntax of the first measure well. Rachel > On Aug 12, 2021, at 12:24 PM, David Kastrup wrote: > > Valentin Petzel writes: > >> Hello Rachel, >> >> As

Hello Rachel, As others have said before, the Beam syntax is wrong, you need to specify Note[ note note note] Instead of [note note note note] (the same way as slurs work). The big problem here is that Lilypond by default forbids breaks during Beams, which is normally only relevant when you

Hello Ahanu, Thanks for sending the file. I had a good look at it. What we confront all the time when engraving is that music often simply does not fit the page. I can't find any way to make this piece fit on two pages at that staff size. The fact is, it's simply too long. Personally I find it

Greetings Ahanu, Without seeing something concrete, I think any further advice is purely speculative at best. Not sure that _I_ will be able to shed further light on the matter or that someone else will be willing to wade through what is not an MWE, but it may be worth a shot to attach your

Hi Ahanu, It might help if you add this: \layout { \context { \Score \override SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1/32) } } It might make LilyPond more willing to squash sixteenths closer together than it would normally like. Kevin On Sun, 2020-08-09 at 02:48

I tried setting systems-per-page to 10. It gave the same error as setting system-count to 20, and ran off the page. 3 measures per line is less than ideal, but it's readable. I'm typesetting an etude book and am trying to avoid having fold-out pages as much as possible. On Sun, Aug 9, 2020,

Greetings Ahanu, What happens if you set the systems-per-page variable to 10 instead of using system-count = 20? Does the music then spill over onto a third page? Just from experience, it seems that 48 sixteenth-notes per line would get rather cramped, no? I usually use 32-40 16ths per line as my

2020-08-08 Thread Ahanu Banerjee
Hello, An étude I'm typesetting needs to fit on 2 pages with reasonable vertical space. Normally, I'd just set system-count in \paper (in this case, 20 systems in 2 US letter pages), but this time it says "warning: cannot find line breaking that satisfies constraints" and just runs off the page.
