Re: Slurs within chords, and dotted notes

I should have been clearer.  The score I’m trying to emulate has slurs— |4.  | —and it’s the vertical movement of the slurs I’m trying to avoid. The fact that ties will overlap the note dots was a curiosity I found in trying to boil that down to a minimal working example. —Joel On 1/4/2024

Slurs within chords, and dotted notes

Somewhat surprising result, tested on 2.24 & 2.25.11: |``` \version "2.24" \fixed c' {   2   |   2.   4 |   2 q |   2. q4 | } ```| In the second instance, the tie attaches to the bottom of the initial chord, presumably to avoid colliding with the dot. (Interestingly, as in examples 3 &

This doesn't exist, sorry. It wouldn't be *that* straightforward to implement, because there are multiple code paths for output (GhostScript via API, GhostScript via subprocess, SVG backend and Cairo). I'm not even sure that direct PDF output in GhostScript's PS → PDF conversion is not going

Output PDF to stdout

Hi, I know that lilypond can receive a source.ly file from the stdin by using lilypond -. Is it possible for lilypond to output PDF to the stdout? My motivation behind using lilypond in a pipeline is to speed up PDF generation by avoiding storing intermediary files on disk. The pipeline I'd like

Hi, I have a custom engraver (https://github.com/nwhetsell/lilypond-instrument-name-measuring-engraver) that helps align instrument names like what’s shown on p. 509 of Elaine Gould’s Behind Bars. In a nutshell, this engraver works by measuring the x extent of system start text stencils,
