Hi,
Just joined the mailing list after fiddling about with lilypond off and on for
the past month or so -- now I need to produce some "real" notation so, time to
hook up to the community.
(Apologies in advance if this is a duplicate post -- I initially subscribed my
"send-to" address, which unfortunately is different from the "from" address
that my e-mail client inserts. I've now subscribed both addresses -- admins, no
need to approve the earlier post, which I believe is awaiting moderation.)
Thanks to the excellent documentation (and the easy access to it in
Frescobaldi), I've been able to figure out almost everything that I need to do.
This one has me stumped (example pasted below).
I'd like to produce the visual effect of a tie between the octave E's spanning
the bar line concluding measure 1, which also crosses from the top to the
bottom staff. I have a vague guess that the answer might be a phrasing slur
with doubleSlurs enabled, but I'm wondering if there's a better way.
Plus... after that, I want to sustain the E's as a pedal point, and it feels a
bit uncomfortable to keep all of those notes in a top-staff voice (appearing in
the bottom staff just because of \change Staff = "left"). How can I switch the
notes over to write them within the "left = " block, but still have ties?
One more question (thought this would be easy to find in the manual) -- since
effectively only one layer is displayed in m2-3, I don't need the rests to be
offset upward. How do I override that behavior of \voiceOne? (I did eventually
find the syntax b'4\rest, but seems clunky and verbose... better way?)
Thanks... btw, I'm completely hooked on lilypond after only a little bit of
use. Everything that I hated in Finale seems to be much better handled here :)
