Thanks to all for your responses to my enquiry about misaligned dynamics. Thanks especially to Hwaen Ch'uqi, who tried to answer my question: unfortunately, \override Dynamics.DynamicText.self-alignment-X = #-1 (modified for the different syntax in Lilypond 2.14.2) did not solve the problem. I

2014/1/27 David Sumbler da...@aeolia.co.uk You all suggested, as I was afraid you would, that instead of trying to get 2.14.2 to do what I want, I should change to 2.18.0. Considering that http://www.lilypond.org/unix.html positively encourages us to use the default version with distros such

Thanks for the link to your explanation of what to do to get Emacs Lilypond mode working. This was easy to follow, and I now have syntax highlighting etc. working for Lilypond files. Just one thing, though: when I load a .ly file into Emacs I get a message: Warning: `lilypond-words.el' not

Hmmm. You should have found seven .el files in the original lisp directory, one of them being lilypond-words.el. Be sure to move them all into one of the directories in your loadpath. For example, I am using ubuntu-13.04, and I have moved all of those files to /usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp.

Yes, I have now found all seven files elsewhere, and checked that the six I had already found are identical to the copies I found in the other directory. So all now seems to be well. Some time when I have some time to spare, I must update all this stuff on my other computer too! Oh, and
