Dear LilyPond experts,
You've been great when I've asked for help in the past (and I think I am gradually finding my way around quite a large part of this fantastic program).
I have been setting myself various tasks to see if I can use LilyPond to its utmost, but some bars of Godowsky (an arrangement of Chopin for piano left hand)
[image inline below]
are stretching me too far for now, even though I am certain that LilyPond can cope with them in some way.
I've put a PDF of this section of the printed music on Dropbox (http://db.tt/TJmlsnCO) too and if anyone is able to explain how I might exactly reproduce the start of bar 3 (with all its grace notes and ties – aaargh) I should be very interested and very grateful! Someone will make it look really easy, I'm sure!
I've had a modicum of success in tweaking the positions of various fingerings, though even here replicating the precise positioning of fingerings in bar 1 (particularly in the fourth semiquaver beat) has proved elusive for the moment.
Many thanks to all who have made this such a delightful program to use (and those who continue to expand it). I look forward to hearing from anyone who has any advice.
Alex
