How to tweak dot sizes

2022-04-11 Thread Paul Hodges
I am in the last stages of preparing a score for publication.  I am using the Bravura font rather than Feta, because the publishers agree that it provides the best general match for other publications in the same series.  However, I am adding a few tweaks to improve the matching further - I

Ledger line sizes - a question from simple curiosity

2022-04-11 Thread Paul Hodges
When specifying the thickness of ledger lines in LilyPond, one specifies not one but two multipliers, so that the result is proportionate to both staff line thickness and staff spacing.  E.g. (from the manual):     \override StaffSymbol.ledger-line-thickness = #'(0.5 . 0.4) For my own use I've

Unwanted font ligature

2022-04-15 Thread Paul Hodges
I am trying to write the dynamic "sfffz".  But when I write \markup\dynamic"sfffz" the first sf is made a ligature, then the last two are made another ligature - the difference in spacing of the f's is ugly, as in the attached image - is there anything I can do about it? Paul

Re: Best way to fix differences in staff size from score to parts

2022-04-12 Thread Paul Hodges
It is usual that most tweaks and adjustments are specified in staff-space units by default, and so will scale automatically.  Even postscript inserts can be written that way.  So I would suggest just trying it, and if it turns out that any adjustments have been specified, change that to

I think the "errant" dot is in the right place (in line with the one above).   The issue I see is that the e above it is too far to the right.  I'd move that back and then adjust the tie with \shape to miss the dot on the c (also to miss the b at the other end). To hide the flags, try "\once

Re: Dynamics placement in partCombine

2023-10-13 Thread Paul Hodges
I presume that partCombine overrides the dynamic placement so that dynamics for the two parts are placed above and below, which seems a reasonable approach when the parts are more distinct than in the given example.  Using ^ to override it in this case seems a tolerable alternative. Paul
