I've just got Lilypond working, I want to use it to print some music reading
practice sheets for my son who is learning piano. Is it possible to produce
a page containing the following?
A text instruction (e.g. "Write the note name underneath each note")
I would do this with lilypond-book:
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/LilyPond_002dbook>
It is almost certainly possible to do this without lilypond-book but I
have never had reason to do it so I don't know how.
A staff with notes on it with an underscore character or two exactly under
each note (I guess treating them as lyrics), leaving sufficient space for
the letter name to be written.
I haven't tried it, but you should be able to do this with lyrics.
The only slight complication is that - and _ are special characters
and I don't know how you would display a dash underneath a note rather
than between syllables. It might work if you put them in quotes - eg:
\addlyrics { "_" "_" "_" "_" }
Another text instruction ("Put the correct note above each letter")
A blank staff with letter names evenly spaced underneath (or between the
treble and bass staves).
I think this will do what you want:
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Hidden-notes>
The hidden notes will be treated as any other notes, so you can add
the names underneath as lyrics.
Hope this helps,
Joe
