Re: convert-ly path for Frescobaldi in Windows?

Hi all, I recently switched from Linux to Windows 10 and I'm trying to get convert-ly to work in Frescobaldi 3. The "OK" button is greyed out and "Run Again" seems not to do anything. What path should I be using for convert-ly? My Lilypond installations are C:\Program Files\LilyPond\2.xx.x\.

Hi Saul, I can confirm the strange behaviour of Frescobaldi 3 in Windows 10, too. The "OK" button is greyed out if there are no changes, or, more precisely, if Frescobaldi thinks there were no changes. The question is: why are there no changes? Has convert-ly been executed at all? As far as I ca

Thriple flat/sharp glyphs...

Dear LilyPond user community, As the issue reappeared again, I'm currently implementing triple flats/sharps (as exotic as they may be). There are very few examples and therefore, I'd like to ask the community at large what they think about the glyphs I've prepared. It's a question of design (and

Re: Double ties: Can't tweak both ties.

Thanks very much. That did it, with a bit of messing about. I’d tried that earlier on, but had gotten syntax errors and assumed they had to do with putting the ties in the chords, but it must have been something else. -Arle > On Mar 12, 2018, at 13:37, Carl Sorensen wrote: > > > > From:

There is (among others) a third example containing a rather unfortunate #x that takes a lot of horizontal space as the # can't be squeezed below the dot (it's too high). The glyphs are built using existing character drawing

Thank you for looking at what I sent earlier, Carl. Turns out that it *doesn’t* actually work like I thought it did. Here is a real tiny example of the problem: \version "2.18.2" \relative c'' { \tieUp 2 2 ~ | 1 | 1 | } That yields this: First tie moved as expe

Found a solution, in this: \override TieColumn.tie-configuration = #'((3.5 . 1) (5.5 . 1)) It’s not as precise as I’d like to be, but it gives me this, which is clear: I’d prefer to have the direct control, but as that appears to be buggy (and not just counter-intuitive), this will do

Hi, from what I learned (only in the last days), #x seems to be the "default". I like your suggestions, Torsten. When looking at the triple flat, I wondered why it is so inconsistent – only discovering later that it is the bb part that is inconsistent not the third b that you added. In short, I h

Hi Ernie, That's because in between two measures, there is only one bar line, break or no break. So, you override your first end-repeat bar before the break with a start-repeat after the break right away. You should use just one bar sign, in your case the double bar ":|.|:" Or use repeats an
