Re: How can I shorten the space for a final single note?

[Robert Blackstone]

Hi Pierre,

Thanks again for your help and the time you spent to help me.

As for “Some direction” : I have no idea what it contains and what it should do. I just added it somewhere in my text in the nabourhood of the paperblock and it did not make any change in the output. 

My knowledge of Scheme is zero, I’m a happy Mac-user with no knowledge of Linux and I’m too old (83) to start developing myself in this direction.

The good news is that after a lot of testing tweaks and one or two dirty tricks I got an acceptable result.

I could not have succeeded without the help of you, Harm and David.

Best regards, 

Robert Blackstone

Many thanks for your help. Three different solutions for my problem is a precious gift. 

They all work but I do need some time to understand your codes. They are so totally different from mine.

Some direction:

%%

global = {  
  \time 4,4,1 2/1 %% <= see: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/changes/index.html
  % Change time signature stencil to 2/2 glyph:
  \override Staff.TimeSignature.stencil = #(lambda (grob)
    (grob-interpret-markup grob #{ \markup\musicglyph #"timesig.C22" #}))
}

%%

[...]

Another habit is to never use “relative”

So do I.

Cheers,
