\magnifyStaff alters thickness of barlines

2018-04-28 Thread Brent Annable
Hi all, I'm creating an organ part where the right-hand staff is supposed to be slightly narrower than the left-hand staff. When I use \magnifyStaff to achieve this effect, it also alters the thickness of the final barlines so they don't match up: \version "2.19.65" \score { \new PianoStaff << \

Robert, it's easier to help you if you provide a Minimal Working Example, otherwise it's hard to know what exactly you tried. Anyway: It's not problem at all to create multiple FiguredBass-environments. The line between them is a bit more tricky; I once used a rhythm staff with all bar lines

Generating pitches depending on key signature

Folks, Assume I want a function that adds a second note a fifth a bove a given pitch (of course this is but an abstraction from a more complicated project). The difficulty is that this should behave accoding to the key signature in place. Hence, the fifth should not be always perfect but ins
