Introduction

This document shows examples from the LilyPond Snippet Repository.

In the web version of this document, you can click on the file name or figure for each example to see the corresponding input file.

all-headers.ly

All header fields with special meanings.

clip-systems.ly

Clipping snippets from a finished score

Notes:

• If system starts and ends are included, they include extents of the System grob, eg. instrument names.
• Grace notes at the end point of the region are not included
• Regions can span multiple systems. In this case, multiple EPS files are generated.

This file needs to be run separately with -dclip-systems; the collated-files.html of the regression test does not adequately show the results.

The result will be files named base-from-start-to-end[-count].eps.

modifying-default-font-properties-for-piece-titles.ly

If you have multiple pieces (e.g. Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, etc. in masses) in a large work, you can use multiple \score parts and use the piece header field to supply a title for each of the pieces. However, the font is very small. You can either directly put the markup into the piece=... header field, or better re-define the scoreTitleMarkup function in the \paper section.

toc.ly

A table of contents is included using \markuplines \table-of-contents. The toc items are added with the \tocItem command.
