rehearsal marks above multiple staves

2018-06-14 Thread Rick Kimpel
Greetings all, Sorry if this is a duplicate, the first time didn't seem to go through. I tried to use a snippet from the LSR to add rehearsal marks above each StaffGroup. It nearly works as desired, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong in two areas: 1) The vertical spacing behaves

Handbell mallets

2018-12-14 Thread Rick Kimpel
All, In handbell music, there is an articulation for playing the bell with a mallet while it is on the table. It looks like a "stopped" symbol near the note head, with a "staccato" articulation just beyond that. I can get reasonable results for notes near the top and bottom of the staff, but

octaves within a chord

Jay, I recently came across your octaves script from back in 2008. I was wondering if there was any way to make it only octavate the top (or bottom) note in a chord? I arrange for handbells, and this is a common technique. I was going to try to do it myself, but I can't get the original script

2019-12-12 Thread Rick Kimpel
Peter You need an extra # \override BarNumber.break-visibility = ##(#t #t #t) But that doesn't do what you're talking about. I had something similar in a piece with 4/4 + 3/4 time with a dotted barline. I ended up just manually renumbering the bars numbers with: \set Score.currentBarNumber

Re: Cleanly showing every measure number

2019-12-11 Thread Rick Kimpel
Sam, This doesn't really answer your question, but it might provide a different perspective. In handbell music, it is standard to number each measure centered over the barlines. Normally the number should be above ties, slurs and notes, as shown in your MWE. I think it helps readability. I
