I'd like to set fingeringOrientations once for the whole \book.

In a book with guitar music I'd like to position the fingering numbers at the left sides of the notes. I already found out that notes have to be written as chords, i.e. , and tried to put \set fingeringOrientations = #('left') in the layout block, which didn't work. Then tried the \score

Midi Instrument: change?

Hi all, Is it possible to change the midi-instrument in the middle of a part? This is particularly useful for strings voices which do occasional pizzicato sections. It seems awfully cumbersome to write a whole part just for 5 or 6 measures of pizzicato. How would the change (and the change back)

Thanks - I like your version (I find of had it in mind as an idea, but couldn't do it), so thanks for the code! I'll have to run the result past the musicians concerned, of course. As I have worked further into the piece containing this snippet I've found more and more instances of notation I

Hello Paul, Such things are quite difficult to handle by default, and usually there is a better way to notate this. So in the end you probably cannot do this without hacking. I’ve appended a variant I could live with, maybe this is what you want. Cheers, Valentin\version "2.23.3" \language

Or maybe I can’t. The format-specific error appears to not come from epsfile, but from the Lilypond parser, so this means that the input is not correct. This happes with \ instead of \\ or /. From the list-ref error I gathered: eps-file->stencil reads the eps, discards anything after the first

Hi Ming, Have you already tried compiling from a saved document? As far as I can see this mangling only is done on unsaved documents. I can reproduce the issue with a path containing ~1, but only if the path to epsfile is absolute, and one on windows (on debian it just works fine). I’m going
