Hi all,
I'm a complete newbie here, so please bare with me ;-)
I already spent a couple of hours, reading all manuals and mailing lists, trying to engrave something as simple as this:
Notice: the "full-measure rests" are not shown in the screenshot (beginner piano book), but I want to engrave them anyway. Result: please check lilypond attachment.
2 problems:
1.cross-staff slur:
a. using the list archive, apparently a possible solution is changing staffs. I'm changing staffs from "right/upper" to "left/under" after note "c4", and then I write final note "b2." By doing that, apparently
there is also an empty 4th measure added automatically to the "right" staff. I did not expect that, because I wanted to put a rest "R2."in that measure, by changing back from "left" to "right" after I wrote final note "b2.",
but clearly that does not give me the desired result.
b. It _does_ give a cross-staff slur, but it is not as "nice" as the one in the screenshot. That one starts somewhere at the half of the stem of "f4" and ends above lyric "round" that is centered above final note "b2.". How can that
be accomplished? But first the lyrics question...
2. lyrics
a. I have trouble finding a solution for the lyrics: I want a dash between e.g. "Rid" and "ing" (one syllable per note) as in the screenshot, but the slur between "e4" and "g2" prevents me from getting the desired result. If I remove those round
brackets (slur), I'm still not getting "Rid - ing" but "Riding" in one word without a dash. How can that be accomplished?
Thanks in advance!
Jurgen L.
