changing-an-individual-notes-size-in-a-chord.ly
Individual noteheads in a chord can be modified with the \tweak
command inside a chord, by altering the 'font-size
property.
Inside the chord (within the brackets < >
), before the note to
be altered, place the \tweak
command, followed by
#'font-size
and define the proper size like #-2
(a tiny
notehead).
The code for the chord example shown:
\header{ title = "Modify an individual notehead's size in a chord" } Notes = \relative { <\tweak #'font-size #+2 c e g c \tweak #'font-size #-2 e>1^\markup{A tiny e}_\markup{A big c} } \score{ \Notes }
Clusters are a device to denote that a complete range of notes is to be played.
\layout { ragged-right = ##t } fragment = \relative c' { c4 f4 <e d'>4 <g a>8 <e a> a4 c2 <d b>4 e4 c4 } << \new Staff \fragment \new Staff \makeClusters \fragment >>
combining-two-parts-on-the-same-staff.ly
The part combiner tool ( \partcombine command ) allows you to combine different parts on a same Staff. You can choose whether you want or don't want to add texts such as "solo" or "a2", by defining the printPartCombineTexts property.
For vocal scores (hymns), there is no need to add "solo"/"a2" texts, so they should be switched off. However, you'd better not use it if there are any solos, as they won't be indicated. In such cases, you may simply want to use standard LilyPond polyphony.
This snippet presents the three ways two parts can be printed on a same staff : standard polyphony, \partcombine whitout texts, and \partcombine with texts.
musicUp = { \time 4/4 \relative c'' { a4 c4.(g8) a4 | g4 e' g,( a8 b) | c b a2. } } musicDown = { \relative c'' { g4 e4.(d8) c4 | r2 g'4( f8 e) | d2 a } } \score{ \new Staff { \set Staff.instrumentName = "Standard polyphony " << \musicUp \\ \musicDown >> } \layout{ indent = 6.0\cm } } \score{ \context Staff { \set Staff.instrumentName = "PartCombine without texts " \partcombine \musicUp \musicDown } \layout{ indent = 6.0\cm \context { \Voice printPartCombineTexts = ##f } } } \score{ \context Staff { \set Staff.instrumentName = "PartCombine with texts " \partcombine \musicUp \musicDown } \layout{ indent = 6.0\cm \context { \Voice printPartCombineTexts = ##t } } }
