Phil Holmes-2 wrote According to typesetting rules (see Behind Bars by Elaine Gould, for example) rests should remain consistently placed with respect to staff lines. I don't know if it is mentioned by Gould or others but the placement of rests sometimes is not just a matter of design

Re: Unresolvable rest collision?

Just a few days ago I had to correct the following incipit: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n169753/dentestui01.png In the original the longae rests at the beginning of the piece indicate that the Modus Longarum is imperfect, thus:

Re: Unresolvable rest collision?

Simon Albrecht-2 wrote It’s only natural that mensural notation follows wholly different conventions than 19th/20th century typesetting standards The (maybe ot) point was that the rest position can have a meaning. Incipits are quite a common feature in modern notation. Cheers, A -- View

Music line in a Latex table

Dear Lilypondians, I need to place a music line in a Latex table so that any measure in the music has the same width of the correspondent cell in the table. I tried placing single lilypond files in the table, but because they contain different objects (minims, different clefs, whole notes etc.)

Re: Music line in a Latex table

Dear Brian, thanks for your suggestion. Actually for mixing music and text I would prefer equally spaced notes whatever their value, which is the opposite of proportional spacing. I usually do a trick by setting all note figures to an octave. Thank you, Andrea -- View this message in

Re: Music line in a Latex table

Hi Pierre, yes, this is helpful. I will still have to adjust the page dimensions. But the real problem is that in any case these examples will not be vertically centered (lilypond makes adjustments according to flags, clefs and anything falling above or below the stafflines), so I will have to

Re: Line-width and Lilypond-book

Hi Kevin, thanks for your advise. I have found that in fact I have to adjust the line-width file by file. Most of the times when a file has multiple lines lilypond-book works fine, the problem arises when I have single lines which lilypond doesn't split in two lines but which are too full to be

Custos and rest

Dear lilypondians, Lilypond doesn't engrave the custos at the end of a line if the next line begins with a rest. Can I change this behaviour? Is it a setting of break-visibility? Thank you, Andrea \score{ { \new MensuralStaff { \relative c'{ a b c d e f g a g a a g a a

Re: Re:bottom of EPS output cut off (+ size of PDF files)

I found a couple of instances in which this crop method too fails: a) the stem of a b flat; b) the 8 at the bottom of an octavated clef. See attached files. esempio3033-crop.pdf http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n170551/esempio3033-crop.pdf esempio3064-crop.pdf

Re: Re:bottom of EPS output cut off (+ size of PDF files)

Hi Andrew, thanks a lot. I am not a programmer so I couldn't have taken the workaround to this level, you can't imagine how much work this is going to spare me. May I request a feature? Is there a way to insert an option for getting eps output? Thanks again, Andrea -- View this message in

Re: bottom of EPS output cut off (+ size of PDF files)

Hi Andrew, I'd like to add two lines to your bash, but I need assistance: After lilypond $file I'd like to burts the file into multiple pdfs (one per page) and I do this by: pdftk $file.pdf burst This makes one pdf file per page with the following output: originalpdf.pdf
