function for combined meters

2010-08-15 Thread Stefan Thomas
Dear community, I want to create variables for combined meters, which allows one to choose, how these measures are beamed. For example, an 7 eigths bar can be beamed in 223 or 232, etc. I would like to type something like \VIIeights #2 #2 #3 I tried it with: VIIeights = #(define-music-function

Rose, Here's a very simple version of some music laid out as hymns frequently seem to be. I think you should be able to use this to modify what you've already done. \version 2.12.0 \relative c' { \partial 4 c4 | c c c c | \partial 4*3 c c c \bar || \break \partial 4 c | c c c c |

What is Ped font?

2010-08-15 Thread Xavier Scheuer
Hi there! I'd like to know if someone has an idea which font is used to write Ped (command \sustainOn ). Is it based on an existing font (and which one)? OR do you know a font (preferably open source) which looks like the one used in Ped (script/handwritten font with this kind of d letter)?

notation for tongueram

2010-08-15 Thread Stefan Thomas
Dear community, I'm searching for an convincing notation for the tongue-ram effect of the flute. I tried it with: \new Staff { \tweak #'style #'triangle \parenthesize \tweak #'font-size #-3 c' b' } But this would mean an real orgy of typesetting. Would it be possible to make work a bit easier?

Re: absolute rest positioning

Hi David, Is there a straightforward way to position rests by using an absolute offset from the center of the staff? \override Staff.Rest #'staff-position e.g., \version 2.13.29 restMusic = \relative c' { c d r e f r g a r b c2 } \markup { Default:} \score { \restMusic } \markup {

It's part of the Feta font. It's in 2 forms in the Feta font: - Ped indication - each letter of the same indication, separately Here is a little screenshot of the characters, with their place in the font table : http://old.nabble.com/file/p29443050/ped_feta.png Hope this helps. Philippe

glissando without starting note

2010-08-15 Thread Pato Press
Hi everyone! Im trying something thats probably easy but I cant find the solution. What I need to do is to print a glissando line Before the note. Something like: key g \major time 4/4 \glissando a4 a a a \bar |. These doesn't work 'cause the \glissando needs to be attached to a real note first.

2010-08-15 Thread Nick Baskin
Hi Richard, When I write unmetered music like that, I add \cadenzaOn at the beginning of the score, and then add \bar wherever I want a line-break to be allowed. (Any other sort of explicit \bar command will do.) Cheers, Nick On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 3:06 AM, Richard Downing

Hi, Sorry about the newbie question. I need to suppress all bar lines (except those explicit with /bar). I have tried adding automaticBars, e.g.: \version 2.12.3 \score { \new StaffGroup \relative c'' { \set automaticBars = ##f c4 d e c c d e c c d e c c d e c c1

Thanks James, but it doesn't work. Probably I'm doing it wrong but if I \hideNotes I end up with different problems. One, If I use different voices, the glissando stays hidden. The other thing its that the note placement in the bar is altered and I don't want that. I need the 1st tempo in the
