Re: How to diminish the vertical space underneath a musical example

Hi Harm, Thanks for this interesting additional tool. For my actual problem it does not help me very much, for while it diminishes the vertical space underneath the example, it somehow widens the space above the example. (In Dutch we would call it "Wet van behoud van ellende") But I'll play

explicit (temporary) staff-spacing overrides

Hi List, I have a piece in which a stretch of measures has no notes or barlines, but requires a lot of vertical space (that is, sets aside space into which graphics may be placed from external sources). So I have the following: \version "2.19.36" celloMusic = \relative c { \key c \major \clef

Hi HIlary, Are you able to show a pictorial example of the kind of thing you want to do? Lilypond uses bezier splines for Slurs and Phrasing Slurs, and the \shape function makes it possible to adjust the curve shapes. The extended \shapeII function in the openlilylib library is much nicer and

Ossia Piano Staff

Hi List, also, in the same ensemble piece I mentioned in the last message, I'd like to have a passage in the piano part that also includes such "empty" staves for graphics, but only within one section. I'm trying to apply the NR instructions for ossia staves, and it's apparently not working.

Yeah, that's what I settled on, too. It's exactly the sort of ugly hack I wanted to avoid (putting invisible content into the score to force presentation changes), but my lilypond-fu is weak :( On Wed, Feb 17, 2016 at 1:36 PM, Phil Holmes wrote: > I don't know a "good" way.

Hi Carl, Sure, but for the end user the overall average path or I suppose centre line of the slur is practically a bezier curve, and the shape functions available control the normal four control points of such a cubic curve. So in practice one can think of them as bezier curves. Andrew On
