Re: Bar in a Symphony by Beethoven

[Víctor Manuel Ares Piñeiro]

Thank you all very much for your answers and comments.

First of all, the code that Andrew Bernard very kindly gave me:

{
   \clef bass
   \stemUp
   b,8
   \stemDown
   b8 b b b
}

This code was one of my first attempts to make that fragment. However, in my 
version of LilyPond, which is 2.19.82, the compiler shows me this warning:

"warning: no viable initial configuration found: may not find good beam slope

Although the score is compiled correctly, in each fragment of the score in 
which I use it, the compiler shows me the corresponding warning, and the 
Frescobaldi program marks the lines in red.

Maybe it's just a simple warning, no more complications, but I'd like to know 
if there's any other way to make that fragment without the LilyPond compiler 
"protesting".

On the other hand, Pierre Perol-Schneider, thank you very much for your 
warning. I am aware that this mode of writing is obsolete and not currently 
used. My intention is to copy Beethoven's Symphonies to review my musical 
knowledge and learn complex and unusual LilyPond techniques to improve my 
knowledge of the program.

Many thanks again to all of you for your answers.
