Re: Pagelayout for incipits

[Hajo Dezelski]

Although I do not have yet a complete solution but a starter, it were three hints:

1. Introduction What symbols to engrave (The first time I understood how the interpreter works)
2.    "  Music representation
3. 4.1 An example of a musicological document

I was caught by my templates i.e. Page layout. They worked only for one piece of music per "page" and I didnt understand the meaning of { }. So combining several { } I suddenly had several incipits on the page. 

Beside that although I contributed a lot of Bach scores to Mutopia I only used the "standard" notation and left aside all thoughs tweakings which are described in 4. Tweaking output.

I wanted to have my ly-files clean and understandable. So it was at least for me easier to adapt them to newer versions of Lilypond or to be true: I didnt want to bother with engravers etc. I just wanted to see my music and play it ;-)
The actual output was and is not so relevant to me as long as all notes and attributes are represented.

Dear me,

I started to read the new documentation and:

I thought too complicated. The solution was more trivial than I expected.

By the way the documentation is really excellent. The last time I looked a
year ago I had some problems and solved my problems by trial and error. Now
you find really what you are looking for - if you know what you are looking
for ;-)

Thanks for your efforts.

Hello,

Has someone a pagelayout to gather several incipits like that of
Schmiederer Bachwerkeverzeichnis on a page.

Title
Name1 - incipt1 (2-4 measures) - comment1
Name2 - incipit2 - comment2
...

incpits = just melodylines or Pianostaff

I read the manuals but couldnt make it out:
I only found the example of the ancient notation template which is way over
my head.

Thanks in advance
 Hajo

Glad to hear the re-written manuals helped.  Out of curiosity, which section helped you solve this?  I was interested in it but didn't have time to pursue.

Jon
