Below is an input file representing small parts of a file for a four-verse song.
The rhythm of the fourth verse, which differs from that of the other verses, is
shown in the .pdf file by the small notes above the top staff, except that the
two small quavers must be (a) beamed, (b) with a slur/tie **above** the beam,
and (c) in line with the other three small notes. (The markups are attached to
the **alto** input to avoid complications over stem directions.) I've tried a
number of markup variations, but can't get the necessary output.
Also, for some reason, the first alto crotchet f is not offset from the soprano
g, although in every similar case in the the complete song (as for example in
the last chord in this extract) the output is correct.
Lastly, is it possible to make bar lines (of all types) thinner? Line 10 of the
file below is an attempt (but doesn't work).
Can you help me please?
Many thanks
David
PS: I'm using LilyPond version 2.10.33, notwithstanding email advice (from
Graham Percival on 4 and 6 Apr 2008) to use a 2.11 version, because Mats
Bengtsson in an email of 19 Feb 2008 on a previous enquiry advised me to use the
latest **stable** version'. Also I find that switching versions involves a great
deal of work, over and above using convert-ly, in making older files work.

I hope I've entered the word in the coloured rectangle correctly; it was VERY
difficult to read.
