\autochange and rests

2010-05-15 Thread Peter Chubb
Hi, I have a simple piece that I'm trying to arrange for my daughter who's a beginner pianist. I can write it out all on the treble clef, but then there are a few low A notes below the staff that need leger lines. Using \autochange splits it nicely, but it looks wrong -- how can

Acciaccaturas under slurs

2010-05-15 Thread David Sumbler
Using Lilypond 2.12.1 Normally an acciaccatura is slurred to the following note. However, in wind music for instance, sometimes an acciaccatura occurs during a passage which is slurred already. In that case there is no reason to print an extra slur on the acciaccatura. In Lilypond, if I enter:

A steep learning curve, using Lilypond! I've found answers in the documentation to most of the problems, but after an hour of searching I'm stumped on this one. I used '\override TupletNumber #'stencil = ##f' earlier in my file. Now I want to cancel that setting and restore tuplet numbers. I

polyphonic tuplets + accidentals = spacing mess

The accidentals in polyphonic tuplets are disrupting the horizontal spacing here. In the example file that follows, I wanted the notes of the second line to be typeset with the spacing found in the first line. I tried *everything*, and humorously, things only got further and further from the
