I agree no useful way to make a solid conclusion on numbers. I also know several people that use Lilypond but either don't need the functionality to the point they need to be here on this list or don't want to have the clutter in their inbox and simply google how to do things. Shane On Tue, May

Re: What is the problem with \relative? (Was: Do we really offer the future?)

That is indeed a clever way of manipulating the absolute mode good for some things, but not terribly handy once you get into active keyboard music as you would end up thinking like a drifting organ tuner. Shane On Mon, May 4, 2015 at 10:57 PM, Keith OHara k-ohara5...@oco.net wrote: Federico

2.19 tempo mark question

O.k. here is the desired result Rubato. quarter note glyph = c.90. there used to be a way to hide the resulting parenthesis and also adding a little bit of text between the equal sign and the numbers. e.g. \set Score.tempoEquationText = = ca. so I tried \set Score.MetronomeMark.EquationText = =

Re: 2.19 tempo mark question

Thanks, that was exactly what I was after I just had forgotten about the rest of the code that needed to go with it. Absolutely good question why isn't it been folded into LilyPond proper? Shane On Thu, Apr 30, 2015 at 6:55 PM, Simon Albrecht simon.albre...@mail.de wrote: Am 30.04.2015 um 22:15

Re: Do we really offer the future?

For God's sake don't deprecate \relative. It is far faster to input and you can convert with Frescobaldi. Shane On Wed, Apr 22, 2015 at 8:48 PM, Kieren MacMillan kieren_macmil...@sympatico.ca wrote: Hi Stephen (et al.) anyway I tried a few examples and used %1a %2a etc for measures and used

Re: Do we really offer the future?

Lilypond is not a terribly great tool for composition purposes. Not that I don't use it for that but when I do the whole piece is already in my head and I am not usually prone to making large changes in structure. As noted previously that tends to be a cumbersome process. Also somewhat cumbersome

Re: formatting meterless music

Michael, You cane use \cadenzaOn and then group your eighth notes with [ ] e.g. deh,8[ deh,8] ees,4 geh,8[ deh,8 bes,8] ees,4 geh,8[ geh,8 c,8] That should cause everything to work they way you are after and don't bother to declare a time signature. best of luck, Shane On Fri, Mar 20, 2015
