Is there a more complete predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly?

Hi. I'm currently using 2.24.2. I'm not a guitarist, and most of the people I play with are by their own admission rather amateur. For most tunes that I transcribe the built-in "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly" and, on one occasion, "predefined-guitar-ninth-fretboards.ly" get the job done. But

I don't play bass guitar and my music theory-fu leaves a lot to be desired, but I am attempting to transcribe from an existing score that shows a tablature staff explicitly saying that it uses EAGD tuning. After poking around a bit, I found that the mandolin uses the same tuning (? I don't play

Re: How do I get an "empty / blank" lyric at the start of a song?

Turns out, for my use case just adding a "_" in the partial measure lyrics did the trick.

How do I get an "empty / blank" lyric at the start of a song?

I have a song that starts with two voices(?) for different timing on different verses: global = { \key c \major \time 2/4 } melody = { \relative { \global \partial 8 << { \voiceOne r8^\mf } \new Voice { \voiceTwo e'8 } >> \oneVoice |

Why does the following bar check fail for measure 3?

Hi, In the following example lyrics, what goes wrong at measure 3? Thanks! \version "2.20.0" \language "english" \header { title = "broken" tagline = "" } \layout { \autoBeamOff } global = { \key c \major \time 3/4 } melody = { \relative { \global g'2 c8. a16

Dynamics and tempo alignment?

Hi, I think I'm making great strides with my wee little transcriptions, but here's my latest puzzle: I have the following measure: g2^\>\tempo \markup { \italic "Slower." } 4 = 65 << { \voiceOne fs8\!\p([ g8]) } \new Voice { \voiceTwo fs8 g8 } >>

Hi Lukas, First, I'm using LilyPond v. 2.20.0. (I often seem to end up at 2.18 and 2.21 when searching for documentation -- though explicitly changing the URL to 2.20 works.) Second, I guess I'm not sure what you mean by a compatible example: I thought that's what I provided. But the URL below

Trying to get the hang of "Polyphony with Shared Lyrics" section of the manual.

So. I have a piece with a few sections where there are two "voices" as I understand things. And according to the manual, the solution, which works fine is: melody = { \relative { \global \new Voice = "melody" { \partial 4 bf4^\f | % 0
