Dear Ed,
thanks for this suggestion. I shall try. However, if this discussion is to be relevant for current users, I probably have some catchup to do. Since yesterday, I have realized that my version of LilyPond was "old" (relatively speaking) because I had installed LilyPond (version 2.16.0) on my computer on Tuesday 18th september 2012 and made experiments (on the basis of the online documentation) from time to time, but not regularly, with ong interruptions, wondering whether LilyPond would be flexible enough for my needs with Indian music (in transcription). (discovering the commands "\compoundMeter" was reassuring, in that respect ...) I realized that my version of LilyPond was "old" because it could not handle commands for tuplets, contrary to what the online documentation had led me to expect ("\tuplet 5/4 { g4 aes8 g fis }" was not recognized by LilyPond 2.16, although it is quite useful to have this syntax, for some of the Indian rythms) I have now installed LilyPond 2.18, and will have to see which obstacles have been removed for a SMOOTH use of LilyPond, which is a great program, although it takes time to discover every possibility! :-) Cheers -- Jean-Luc (Paris) "https://univ-paris-diderot.academia.edu/JeanLucChevillard" On 07/02/2014 13:21, Ed Gordijn wrote: Hi Jean-Luc, |
