NOTATIO

hmmm LilyPond users.... Why not to start a new publishing business, only based on the beauty of engraving and on LilyPond? Für Elise - so well done that it beats all previous editions? (I am serious.)

{I think we can always start a new thread, there is plenty of room! It seems strange to have topic like "Slur tip thickness" - isn't it? But I love it... }

tisimst, thanks for so nice explanation. As said earlier, I love {open source, GPL, free software} philosophy. I am a composer of instrumental music who needs well designed scores... Being so, I don't have time to learn Lilypond by myself since I am afraid of loosing control over deadlines and so on...

I have never been thinking so deeply about the staff lines, and now I recognise how little I can, thank you @wess @peter and @john.
This just confirms that notation is not composing, and that there should be just engravers, as there are composers.

Wess-music brings quite important questions. I think that Lilypond has a great power but "fails" in two moments: 1. Engraving (music notation, music typesetting) for many people means visual work on a plate, paper or computer "paper". While SCORE confirms the opposite (that it is...

Fixed now, thank you.

Thank you Wess for the comment. Yes, the color levels must remain the same. I haven't controlled it. TUTORIAL 2 Here is another video, using only one reference point(s). It is not exactly flat, but very flatened, probably impossible to get it in Sibelius or Finale, (Lilypond?). As well, this is an E...

Dear Knut and tisimst, thank you for describing that in details! I am amazed how Lilypond treats fonts. I think it is close to what SCORE did. There is another thread about the resized staff, and the font abilities in Lilypond is something astonishing, which interests me quite a lot. I hope that new...

Dear everyone, Following up the thread at http://notat.io/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=48 here is my first video how to make a flat slur in Inkscape. It is very easy. TUTORIAL 1 Pay attention that this slur is not necessarily meant to be flat, it is just an example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkYB18...

I do agree with John that the lines in fermata measures in Peter's example is not the best way to notate it. But I want to point one thing which for me makes sense: During the XX century we see development of musical structures in amazing ways. An example is Ferneyhough and Penderecki (earlier works...
