Problem understanding subdivided beam

Hi, I have a problem getting a beam subdivision right, and I can't seem to find a solution in the manual: I have this group of 16th notes: \relative b { \time 6/4 b16 [ d b' g d g d' b g b g' d ] r2. } and I want to have the secondary beam divided in three parts with one quarter note

Hi Urs, I don't have a solution, but a hint: in 2.18.2 stable, the beaming is correct - maybe its a bug in 2.19.x? Cheers, Jan-Peter Am 19.11.2015 um 09:42 schrieb Urs Liska: Hi, I have a problem getting a beam subdivision right, and I can't seem to find a solution in the manual: I have

Answering my own issue on further investigation, I refer to Noto Sans Bold Italic in an override for dynamics. My system lacks the SVG fonts for this typeface. Enabling –V and going through the backtrace led to some insight. But the error message presented that just refers to font #f is not

Hi David, you should rather stick to the right syntax and tweak the appearance of these texts: \version "2.19.21" \layout { \override TextScript.font-series = #'bold } { a^"rit." a a a } Or, if you want to use it only occationally: { a^\markup \bold "rit." a a^"other" a } Cheers,

Thanks to all for the various suggestions on this topic. In particular, Kieren's suggestion is interesting. I must confess that, having been reading and playing music for a mere 63 years, I had to look up what the word "custos" means! As you can deduce, I've never really been "into" early

Aligning a tempo marking with a note

Although many scores use a similar italic font for "rit.", "accel." etc. as they do for dynamic changes such as "cresc.", I prefer to use an upright bold font - the same as for other tempo markings such as "Allegro". The easiest way for me to do this (at least until now) is to use '\tempo "rit."'
