Extent of hairpins

I find that consecutive hairpins (e.g. {c\< d\>}) are too closely spaced in standard Lilypond output. Looking at Elaine Gould's wonderful book "Behind Bars", I notice that in such cases her examples show one hairpin ending at the left-hand edge of a note and the next beginning at the right-hand

Thank you all for your help on this. My original question, "how does Lilypond recognize the end of the definition of a variable" has been answered: the definition has to be a single, complete expression. Which of course produces another question: "what is classed as a single expression?" Well,

Multiple markings

A text mark in Lilypond is represented by a grob called a RehearsalMark; the grob for a tempo marking is called a MetronomeMark. I wonder whether perhaps these names reflect something about the history of Lilypond: they are certainly not accurate descriptions of what the objects are used for -

tocItem as \mark

In the piece I am setting there is some perhaps slightly unorthodox notation.  One bar is still giving me a problem.  I attach the output of this and the following bar. I am quite pleased with the result apart from one detail: the last quaver of the first bar should appear as a single notehead on

Arranging lyrics between 2 staves

The piece I am setting can be sung by a baritone or by a mezzo-soprano.  In the score, therefore, there are 2 vocal staves, one for each of the alternative voices.  The staves contain identical music apart from an octave diffence in pitch and different clefs. It seems sensible to print the words

It always seems to be a bit hit-and-miss for me when I try to arrange the pagination of instrumental parts.  Reading the manual it isn't clear to me how I can force page turns to occur *only* at the points I choose. Also, Lilypond doesn't like ending on an even-numbered page.  How can I force it

Combining \markup and \override in a variable

I have a bar which contains 3 notes, e.g. fs4 ds as' | It comes after a passage which is pizzicato, but the 2nd and 3rd notes of this bar need to be arco.  However, a normal "arco" marking over the d sharp does not make it sufficiently clear that that is what is intended: particularly because of

Tie for segue at end of movement

I have a piece with several movements.  One of the movements is marked 'segue' at the end, and finishes with a semibreve in each instrument.  The note in the 2nd cello part is tied to the first note of the next movement.  Each movement is in a separate \score block (both in the full score and in

Tricky tweak

Well, it's proving tricky to me, anyway. I have a note which needs to have "pizz." printed above it, and "(non sf)" below. The code below, of course, puts both markings with their left edges aligned with the note. \version "2.19.48" \language "english" nonsf = \markup

Controlling hairpin length - revisited!

After a 9 month gap, I have finally come back to Lilypond and will attempt to finish tweaking my string quartet score and parts.  I have installed v2.19.48, and I have run 'convert-ly' on my files. The reasons for the long gap were (a) moving house in February and, more importantly (b) feeling

No readline in scheme-sandbox

My ~/.guile file reads: (use-modules (ice-9 readline)) (activate-readline) When I run 'guile' from the command line, readline works fine. But when I run 'lilypond scheme-sandbox' I get:  GNU LilyPond 2.19.48  Processing

Re: Controlling hairpin length - revisited!

Thanks for this and other replies to my original query.  The routine works well. It does what it says on the can - moving the ends of the hairpin - and that will be very useful. But I realise that often what I need in order to get satisfactory hairpins is more space between the note heads, and
