Stem-to-stem slurs

Other than adding \shape overrides, is there a way to tell LP to anchor the slurs to the stems instead of noteheads? %%---Begin snippet \version "2.18.2" <<{ \clef bass 2 }\\{ f'4( e') d'( c') }>> ___ lilypond-user mailing list

Re: Percussion Notation

Tweaking a footnote

I want to annotate a particular passage with a footnote. So far I have managed to get what I want in the music itself with: \override Score.FootnoteItem.annotation-line = ##f \footnote "*" #'(0 . 3) "Theme by Louis Drouet" This produces an asterisk over the first note of the relevant passage,

Hi David, Try: \version "2.18.2" #(set-default-paper-size "a6") \paper { tagline = ##f footnote-separator-markup = ##f } { \override Score.FootnoteItem.annotation-line = ##f \footnote "*" #'(0 . 3) \markup \fill-line { "*Theme by Louis Drouet" } c'4 } Cheers, Pierre 2015-10-06

Removing several accidentals from a chord?

Hello everybody, I need to eliminate one accidental, possibly two different ones from a chord.As you may know, the stencil/transparent tweaks work as long as one doesn't care about the weird spacing that's left after it, but I personally do. I copypaste here a partial solution that was given

How to get X/Y-extent of a bezier-curve?

Hi all, I'm going to write a generic bow-stencil. Below you'll find a boiled down example. The main problem: how to determine the correct extents. Looks like I need to calculate the actual X/Y-extents of the resulting bezier-curve. Though, obviously my maths-skills are not sufficient. Any

Re: How write cross-staff slur (in combination with lyrics)

My daughter is learning the piano right now and the very simple songs she is learning all are very "cleaned up", meaning that there are no key signatures, no rests, etc. There are only clefs, notes, and lyrics (besides the two piano staves). It all seems to be working out. As she progresses, more

I do not really understand what you desire to get. May be my response is not helpful but silly. #(define pts-list '((12 . 8) (5 . 8) (2 . 2) (15 . 2))) In your List you have the start point defined with ay (x.y)= (2,2) and the end point (15,2) - that is the last pair of
