Did you and Karol expect “medium” to be something other than “normal”? Am 19.09.2014 um 08:59 schrieb Pierre Perol-Schneider: Hi All, Please find enclosed v2.19.14, 2.19.13, 2.18.2, 2.16.2, 2.14.2 outputs of the following code : \version "2.19.14" %\version "2.19.13" %\version "2.18.2" %\versi

Re: Automatic ottava handling

There is a pitch-dependent staff switching automatism in LilyPond (I don’t know how it works but you can have a look at piano/harp section in the notation reference) so I think what you are asking for should at least not be impossible. Am 05.10.2014 um 17:52 schrieb David Bellows: This is pro

Re: Supporting ♯ and ♭

You can try to add another “language” (or add alias entries to the english language) in the file define-note-names.scm. I’m not sure whether this will work (does Scheme support Unicode?) but it would be definitely a simple solution. Am 06.10.2014 um 15:49 schrieb MarcM: In an effort to make

Re: "continuation" bars

Hi Steve, what you probably are looking for is the \repeat command: { \repeat percent 3 { c'2 d' } \repeat percent 3 { c' d' e' f' } } This can be found in section 1.4 of the notation reference (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/repeats). Malte Am 26.11.2014 um 19:40

Explicit triplets can be set with a single \tuplet command like Urs suggested. And implicit triplets can be made by scaling the durations: \version "2.19.13" \relative c' { \time 2/4 % you might want this, try it % (1 . 24) is the duration of a 1/16-triplet ;) \
