Re: Ask about the typesetting of Lilypond

Add another +1! With a Gregorian chant caveat or two...

When using modern notation for Gregorian chant tunes, Lilypond sometimes gets confused and allows a line to run off the page.  When this happens, I insert a "visual break" as needed, and then adjust at the end.

I find that inserting a single break often fixes the problem for the rest of the chant, with the possible exception of the last line.

P.S. When dealing with a long multi-verse chants and plainsongs, I sometimes insert breaks based on where the verses break.

In my experience it's often better to wait with adding \break commands until the score is complete. Sometimes Lilypond automatically chooses better linebreak choices then.

+1 to that! I've experienced this many times and found I need to worry less once it's all input.
