Re: [Denemo-devel] Inserting a tremolo

[Cantor Stuart Binder]

Richard, 

I'll have to try a fresh install at some point to see if I can figure out why 
the quarter and half note spacers were not initially in the rest menu. I think 
I had to use More Commands to add them. I'll check that out and get back to you.

I was able to confirm that the editor does not crash if continuous typesetting 
is off. The problem only occurs when continuous typesetting is on and the Print 
View is open.

Finally, I'm trying to figure out how to transpose a score (I'd like to print 
high and low voice versions), but the process is eluding me. I can see (from 
docs and the email archive) that there's a way to transpose for printing (which 
would be fine), but I can't see how to do it.

Thanks,
Stuart

Mostly commands that are "hidden" you probably won't want to use - there are 
better, less tricky commands to do what they do (they are there because they 
generate more readable LilyPond syntax for the knowledgeable, or for backward 
compatibility of older scripted commands or other reasons). 
At the moment I don't think there are any hidden commands just to save space in 
the menus - ask about any commands that you think you need to un-hide.

On windows this is usually stolen by microsoft (people even manufacture 
keyboards with microsoft's logo on the key!), you may be able to get it back 
using some utility for re-mapping keys. Otherwise use some other combination 
(e.g. Ctrl-Alt or Ctrl-Shift ... or try other unused keys).

That's very interesting - can you try having the Print View window open but 
turning off the continuous typesetting? (There is a button at the top of the 
Print View window which says Continuous and need to be clicked and the 
Continuous checkbox unchecked).
Does it crash in this circumstance?

You're welcome - but please reply to the list, as others will want to know this 
information! (There is usually a "Group Reply" or "Reply to All" option in the 
reply menu of your email client).
