Re: Lilypond to typeset solfa style Indian music

[Mike Solomon]

I’d recommend entering your lyrics like normal and using notes or spaces in the staff.  Then, do massive amounts of transparency overrides and/or context removes.  The internals reference should give you a lead on what to turn off.  Also, check out:

staff-container.ly
staff-size.ly

Lastly, you’d want to raise the lyrics, which can be done w/ extra-offset (and probably other things).

Hi,

I've been using lilypond for quite a while to typeset scores.

I'd like to typeset Carnatic (Indian) music scores, which don't use Staff notation system. Just text, like solfa, nevertheless it's a music system with durations, meters, barlines etc.

I can use the 'lyrics' part to enter my notes. No staff needed. Now, is it possible to space and align these notes just as lily does on staff?

Here's a piece of example score I tried to typeset with Latex - http://twitpic.com/2998r0/full

Thanks for any help

cheers,
Ananth
