![]() I don't mean to be sarcastic, but drawing a picture, free hand, on paper might make clear what you want. But it seems clear you're working against the notation software. I don't really see the connection between your color coded xylophone description and the rhythm/spacing problem. You can say the lesson is not about rhythm, but the problem you've encountered in software is entirely about rhythm notation and spacing conventions. Above I only re-aligned the first two notes to demonstrate it can be done. The software doesn't want to do it, because the result it contrary to good, readable rhythm alignment. it very, very tedious to move things out of the default alignment. In Musescore the "inspector" panel has an "offset" which can move elements horizontally. But the main point is get all the parts in one system and the software should handle the lining up vertically by default.ĭepending on the software there can be various controls to override default rhythmic spacing. There are some tweaks to hide the time signature, add many extra beats to make it look unmeasured, and use one line percussion clefs/staves so that it's really just a bunch of note values lined up. I took me only a few minutes to create this. If you really want to do it only in Lilypond, these two pages seem to be the references to work from: In the notation application I have used the spacing will be automatic and even within a measure between the staves. I think you want to create a multi-staff system. \override SpacingSpanner.uniform-stretching = #t To get the eighth notes to align, add \override SpacingSpanner.uniform-stretching = #t to the score layout context.The best results I got are reflected in the code below. I played around with values of X and at which points they were needed. To get the proper spacing between notes, add Since leftover space is needed for text, the lengths of the staves can be controlled by setting the line-width property in the \score's \layout section Removing that line (or setting ragged-right = #f) will force each line span the full width of the page. The first problem is the ragged-right = #t, which tells LilyPond that each line can be a different length. Or any subset of these three lines into my Score context. ![]() \override -shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1/8) Utilizing this snippet to force the width of all measures to be equal.īut the notes were still not aligned: Notes of different duration have a different distance from the left end of their measure.add time signatures so that each note has its own measure.That's why I chose ragged-right to be #t, but there might be other options. Hint: I need some space on the right side to add explanatory text/images. How can I align the notes vertically? (i.e., spacing in each line should be as in the first.) I am trying to make a book page for explaining different notes and their durations. ![]()
