Hi!

Many thanks for the help -- I understand the logic of beaming now :=)
In fact, after spending nearly a whole day with Lilypond I am pleased
to say that I have mastered quite a lot of the basics and have already
attempted such esoteric arts as context tweaking (to add titles to an
'alternative' volta bracket) with great success.

FYI: I am using the Studio to Go! package from Fervent software, which
comes with Lilypond 2.6 currently.

Cheers,


Ed

Try this:

c''[ 16 d'' d''] a'[ d'' d''] c''[ d'' d'' d''] e''[ d'' e'' fis'']

Subject: Very basic problem with manual beaming

Hi Folks,

I'm probably missing something blindingly obvious, but I have the following
problem. Using RoseGarden, I have exported a simple piece of music, and
would
now like to tidy up just one or two bars. These bars are 7/8 bars, and I
need
an alternative beaming structure.

Output from RoseGarden:

\time 7/8
c'' 16 d'' d'' a' d'' d'' c'' d'' d'' d'' e'' d'' e'' fis''

What I (think) I need, following the manual:

\time 7/8
[c'' 16 d'' d''] [a' d'' d''] [c'' d'' d'' d''] [e'' d'' e'' fis'']

However, when I run this (and the rest of the score) through lilypond, it
exits with the following error:

ClassicReelSet.ly:77:16: error: syntax error, unexpected '['

[c'' 16 d'' d''] [a' d'' d''] [c'' d'' d'' d''] [e'' d'' e'' fis'']
ClassicReelSet.ly:13:4: error: errors found, ignoring music expression

Why is this "unexpected"? Isn't this how to do manual beaming?

Note that this section is properly enclosed in a

\context Voice = "voice 0" {
..
} % Voice

tag, so I don't think that that is the problem.

Many thanks for any help,


Ed Bradburn
