Paper and layout

Spacing issues


Alinear i centrar els noms dels instruments

L’alineació horitzontal dels noms d’instruments es pot ajustar modificant la propietat Staff.InstrumentName #'self-alignment-X. Les variables de \layout, indent i short-indent defineixen l’espai en el qual s’alineen els noms d’instrument abans del primer sistema i dels següents, respectivament.

\paper { left-margin = 3\cm }

\score {
  \new StaffGroup <<

    \new Staff \with {
      \override InstrumentName.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
      instrumentName = \markup \left-column {
        "Left aligned"
        "instrument name"
        }
        shortInstrumentName = "Left"
      }

      {  c''1 \break c''1 }

    \new Staff \with {
      \override InstrumentName.self-alignment-X = #CENTER
      instrumentName = \markup \center-column {
        Centered
        "instrument name"
        }
      shortInstrumentName = "Centered"
    }

    { g'1 g'1}

    \new Staff \with {

Arranging separate lyrics on a single line

Sometimes you may want to put lyrics for different performers on a single line: where there is rapidly alternating text, for example. This snippet shows how this can be done with \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing.minimum-distance = ##f.

\layout {
  \context {
    \Lyrics
    \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing.minimum-distance = ##f
  }
}

aliceSings = \markup { \smallCaps "Alice" }
eveSings = \markup { \smallCaps "Eve" }

<<
  \new Staff <<
    \new Voice = "alice" {
      f'4^\aliceSings g' r2 |
      s1 |
      f'4^\aliceSings g' r2 |
      s1 | \break
      % ...

      \voiceOne
      s2 a'8^\aliceSings a' b'4 |
      \oneVoice
      g'1
    }
    \new Voice = "eve" {

      a'2^\eveSings g' |
      s1 |
      a'2^\eveSings g'

      \voiceTwo
      f'4^\eveSings a'8 g' f'4 e' |
      \oneVoice

    }
  >>
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "alice" {

Parts de llibre

Es pot usar \bookpart per dividir un llibre en diverses parts. L’última pàgina de cada part pot quedar afectada pel valor de ragged-last-bottom. Els elements de marcatge d’encapçalament i peu de pàgina pot detectar que estiguin en la ultima pàgina d’una part, i presentar diferències amb l’última pàgina del llibre.

#(set-default-paper-size "a6")

\book {
  %% book paper, which is inherited by all children bookparts
  \paper {
    ragged-last-bottom = ##t
    %% Page footer: add a different part-tagline at part last page
    oddFooterMarkup = \markup {
      \column {
        \fill-line {
          %% Copyright header field only on book first page.
          \if \on-first-page \fromproperty #'header:copyright

        \fill-line {

          \if \on-last-page \fromproperty #'header:tagline

Modificar la mida de la pauta

Tot i que la manera més senzilla de redimensionar els pentagrames és usar #(set-global-staff-size xx), la mida d’una pauta individual es pot canviar escalant les propietats de 'staff-space i de fontSize.

<<
  \new Staff {
    \relative c'' {
      \dynamicDown
      c8\ff c c c c c c c
    }
  }
  \new Staff \with {
    fontSize = #-3
    \override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep -3)
  } {
    \clef bass
    c8 c c c c\f c c c

Retallada de sistemes

This code shows how to clip (extract) snippets from a full score.

This file needs to be run separately with -dclip-systems; the snippets page may not adequately show the results. The result will be files named ‘base-from-start-to-end[-count].eps’.

If system starts and ends are included, they include extents of the System grob, e.g., instrument names.

Grace notes at the end point of the region are not included.

Regions can span multiple systems. In this case, multiple EPS files are generated.

#(ly:set-option 'clip-systems)
#(define output-suffix "1")

origScore = \score {
  \relative c' {
    \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Instrument" }
