Re: lilypond-user Digest, Vol 220, Issue 40

I used a similar workflower earlier, but without Frescobaldi. I coded a small script years ago that would convert MIDI-input to keystrokes, but at some point I lost track of maintaining it (didn't do much with Lilypond for a time then). But I remember using the pitch up/down buttons on my Korg

Three-note tremolo in 4/4

Hello everyone, I'm trying to fit a three-note tremolo into a 4/4 measure. I've sort of been able to do this as follows: \version "2.22.0" \relative c'' { \repeat tremolo 8 {\tuplet 3/4 { g32 d c }} } (Of course you could hide the tuplet numbers here.) or: \version "2.22.0" \relative

Re: Three-note tremolo in 4/4

Thanks, Carl! The rule about \repeat tremolo expecting 2 musical arguments is no longer up-to-date; I think 2.13 or 2.14 introduced the possibility of having more than two arguments. But it only works if there's no clash with the time signature. So you can have three arguments in a 3/4 or

Rhythmic expressions and bar repeats in ChordNames

Hi - I have 2 somewhat related questions here dealing with ChordNames: 1. How would one add rhythmic expressions (such as slashes) For example - in 4/4 I want a:m7 for 6 beats then e:7 for 2 beats, so the ChordNames look like: | A-7| / / E7 | 2. If I "\set ChordChanges = ##f" can

Re: Three-note tremolo in 4/4

Hi Lukas, Thanks so much for this! It does indeed work (though it does indeed also generate a LilyPond warning about "weird stem size"). I'm fairly new to LP and my experiment with timeSignatureFraction et cetera was essentially an attempt to juggle around with the 3-against-4 problem that I

Re: Three-note tremolo in 4/4

Hi Jan, But it only works if there's no clash with the time signature. So you can have three arguments in a 3/4 or 3/2 or 6/8 but not in a 4/4. Conversely, you can have four tremolo pitches in a 4/4 but not 3 -- at least not without the kind of hack devised by Lukas in the first response to

RE: why Kieren is a \relative evangelist [was “Re: Nested transposition"]

I would like to forward another argument for the use of \relative. I have used Lilypond for several years, but I am certainly not a professional musician or music typesetter. The music I set is not overly complicated - usually up to five of six (vocal) voices on up to maybe six pages. I seem
