I started using Frescobaldi just last week. Forgive the questions of a
rank beginner please.
1. Is there a keyboard equivalent for the engrave button? I cannot
find one.
2. I notice that saving a program does not automatically put the .ly on
the file name. I think this would be very handy.
Thanks for the help. Saves me a lot of time.

Hi,
I want to bracket the three verses of a song, and follow with a single
line of words that make up a chorus. The following code puts the
bracket in, but the bracket takes up a beat in the music as shown below;
thus the chorus words are all out by one beat. Is there a solution to this?
Thank you both.
It worked! I used the following variable.
mybrace = \set stanza = \markup { \right-brace #45 }
Then inserted \mybrace in the lyrics.

Hi,
I have found that it helps for short sections of music if the words in
the offending lyrics are all made the same length. thus "I could do"
associated with three 8th notes, might become "__I__ could __do__" This
makes the spaces even out.
Cheers,
