Re: volta with stanzas in variables

Wh, that fixed a bunch of things! Thanks everybody! One last issue: how do I move the last syllable of the third stanza to the third ending? Right now it's still sitting under the first note of the first/second ending, when it should kick over to the third. Thanks for the help! A On Fri,

Re: Staff-staff spacing temporary changes

I have a very similar problem (my use case is wanting to space staves more or less distant from each other on a per-system basis), and the solution I got at the time was something like "insert invisible boxes or \hideNotes expressions into a simultaneous voice to force specific spacing." That

Re: Install on linux

Late to the party, but most Linux distros will allow you to add repositories/packages for more-recent versions: on gentoo, you can even use a "live" version that installs from git. This has the occasional consequence of lilypond reporting itself as a version that isn't officially released yet. So

Ossia Piano Staff

Hi List, also, in the same ensemble piece I mentioned in the last message, I'd like to have a passage in the piano part that also includes such "empty" staves for graphics, but only within one section. I'm trying to apply the NR instructions for ossia staves, and it's apparently not working.

explicit (temporary) staff-spacing overrides

Hi List, I have a piece in which a stretch of measures has no notes or barlines, but requires a lot of vertical space (that is, sets aside space into which graphics may be placed from external sources). So I have the following: \version "2.19.36" celloMusic = \relative c { \key c \major \clef

Re: [Correction] Is there a bug in the way Lilypond handles SLURS?

Hi Devin, Lilypond's syntax deviates from other programming languages in a subtle but significant way: certain characters -- namely brackets -- do not need to be explicitly nested inside one another. Rather, they occur at the points where their corresponding graphical object begins and ends. See

Re: Scripting the \paper blocks output

Hi Andrew, Ha! Works like a charm! Thanks, that's going to be super-handy when I, uh … start my lilypond publishing empire. Seriously, though, that's some cool scripting magic. For others who might want to use the function, one remark: note that the quotation marks for the "catalog-number"

Scripting the \paper blocks output

Hi List, I have an included file, "default.ily" that I use for my stylesheet, comprising the following \paper block: \paper { %% Set system-system distance system-system-spacing.basic-distance = #32 indent = 18\mm two-sided = "true" inner-margin = 15.0\mm outer-margin = 3.3\mm

Avoiding PhrasingSlur/accidental collisions

Hi List, I'm working with the following expression: \version "2.19.36" \relative c { \repeat tremolo 8 { es'''32\( es, } es'!2\) | } When that's stretched out a bit (or even, actually, here) the PhrasingSlur collides with the accidental. How do I avoid this? I see the following possible
