Multiple rest and system break

2017-06-16 Thread Menu Jacques
Hello folks, This beats me : in the following snippet, why is there a break after ‘R1*2’ ? There seems to be plenty of room to put everything on a single line…? Thanks for your help! JM % \version "2.19" P_POne_Staff_One_Voice_One = \relative { \compressMMRests R1*2 |

Thanks Phil. This seems to happen when there are R’s in sequence. P_POne_Staff_One_Voice_One = \relative { \compressMMRests R1 | R1 | r2 r4 r8 r16 r32 r64 r128 r128 | \bar "|." } has the same problem, but: P_POne_Staff_One_Voice_One = \relative { \compressMMRests R1 | r1 |

Hi Kieren, I use some helper functions to enter edition-mods of the same kind. Again this might not be self-explaining ... but perhaps you get the idea. And of course: maybe it is more sufficient to use the markup-hammer and separate the lyrics from the music with a mace! Jan-Peter Am 15.0

Humble question - Forced line breack

Hi, in a score I find a breack but I would like to have it in the next beat. How can I tell it in Frescobaldi? Thanks and excuse me for the humble question. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Humble-question-Forced-line-breack-tp203890.html Sent from the User

Okay, I see what you're doing. I can see how this would be helpful if you're an engraver doing multiple editions of a piece. From my perspective, this type of separation of concerns is actually counterproductive, because as I compose I may add or subtract measures many times. Having to keep the edi
