Re: Aligning upbows and downbows

David,

You are very welcome! Don't forget to reply to the mailing list so others know you found a solution. BTW, if you haven't read through the Learning Manual, this will introduce you to many useful topics and concepts like the one I shared with you. In fact here's the exact section that talks about this:

Best,

Abraham

Abraham, thank you for responding quickly.  Your code works perfectly.  Why that code works is something I will hopefully learn over time, but, for now, I am pleased that I can continue with engraving my sheet music.  Enjoy your day.

Hello all.  I am a new user seeking assistance with aligning upbows and downbows so that the bows are all aligned horizontally at the same height for easier readability.  Thank you.

How about this:

%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.18.2"  % necessary for upgrading to future LilyPond versions.

\header{

  title = "Here Comes the Sun"

  subtitle = "Original music and lyrics written by George Harrison 1969."

 

}

\relative {

  \set Staff.instrumentName = "Capo VII"

  \key e \major

  \override Script.staff-padding = #3 % <--- Adjust to taste

  a'8^\downbow^"D" <e' a cis>\downbow a\upbow b\downbow cis\upbow <a, e'> a' a, |

  e' cis' b <a, e'> a' <a, e'>

}

%%%%%%%%%

HTH,

Abraham
