Re: Markup breaking score, stemlets not behaving, double barlines not showing.

[Kevin Barry]

 i want the stemlet to reach down towards the rest. How?

 

add an override like so:

\override Stem.stemlet-length = 2

(or whatever value you prefer)

 

How do i make custom rehersal marks?
When using \markup { ... } the whole score looses it layout and to add insult it does not display any text. I must have done something wrong.

 

You have to replace the "\default" with your \markup {}.

 

Bar 8)
Why does the double barline not exend equaly through both staffs?

This happens because the lower staff is smaller, so the double bar lines are closer together. I'm not sure how to fix this off the top of my head.

 

Bar 37)
Why does it not show a double bar line?

The end of one system and the beginning of another represent the same moment in time, so you can only specify one barline (you have tried to specify two with a \break between them, which will not work). You need to use a barline that specifies both: \bar ".|:-||" should do what you want.

 

And finally: I feel my score is a mess. How can i clean up/simplify my input? Also, inputing this takes alot of time considering how long use on inputing this in Sibelius (added as pfd). What can i do to speed this up? Help and encouragement is much obliged.

I don't have much advice here. You already use some functions and repeat-unfold to simplify things (although you could use more of the unfold - for a whole system for example - bar checks are not necessary). I would probably have placed the layout requirements ( \break, \bar, and so on) in a global variable with spacer rests, which might have made it easier to write the bulk of the score with repeat-unfold.

 

I've attached a version including a few of the fixes
