DynamicTextSpanner

Hi everyone, I can't figure how to change the Y-attachement of the line in a DynamicTextSpanner. I try to attach it to the bottom of the dynamic text. Here is the sample code: \version "2.19.81" \relative { \override DynamicTextSpanner.bound-details = # '((right (attach-dir . -1)

Re: Intervals enharmony question

Hello Lukas, Thanks for your answer. In fact, it not the interval name, but the note such as B double flat that concerns me currently. Do I get it right that this is key-independent too for the diminished fifth of E flat? JM > Le 29 avr. 2018 à 18:41, Lukas-Fabian Moser a

Intervals enharmony question

Hello folks, Say I’m considering chords with an E flat root. Is is always true that: - the diminished fifth is B double flat - the augmented fifth is B natural - the diminished unisson is E double flat - the augmented unisson is E natural or can this depend on

Re: Properties outside of scores

Thanks for that, Andrew. Your suggestion and my own continued thinking made me realize that scoping and evaluation order were the challenges I was facing. Scoping is tricky because I'm outside the usual scopes--Score, Staff and Voice. But I am in a book (or bookpart) and so can set a property in

Re: An unusual feature request concerning FiguredBass

Hi Kieren, Your version did help me enormously. Thank you very much. The whole score is now what it should be. I usually work with separate voices to be collected in the score, but with the extra BC-line I could not get it right. I spent most of this day wondering what the hell the error

Re: An unusual feature request concerning FiguredBass

Hello, I have finally managed to apply your recommendations in my score. On the whole they work out very well except for one error that I have not been able to get rid of: to change the staff name of the upper staff in "cantus". Whatever I tried, it stubbornly kept "bass" for both staves. What

I must apologise to the list members for wasting their time by asking my latest question (below).  I can only put it down to a "senior moment", which is quite worrying, as such incidents do seem to be getting more frequent.  Or perhaps it is a side-effect of the low-dose Amitriptylene I am taking

Good morning, Many thanks for your quick reactions and helpful advice. Because it will take me a while to try these solutions in my score, and because at this moment I am in rural France where my internet connection is very buggy and unstable --- in a few minutes I may be disconnected till

Hi Brent, Would something like this do perhaps? \version "2.19.81" \score { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff = "right" \with { fontSize = #-6 \override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep -6) } \relative c'' {a4 a a a \bar "|."} \new Staff = "left"

Re: \magnifyStaff alters thickness of barlines

Hi Brent, I'd do it just the way Andrew did it (use the "traditional" fontSize/staff-space approach). I don't know why you need to make one staff in organ music slightly smaller, either, but I'll take it for granted and supposing you need a factor of 6/7: A factor of 6/7 means a magstep value
