![]() ![]() That being said, for now the Editor window should remain open. In case you want to close the Editor without doing / saving / changing anything, you can click the standard window control "x" at the top right corner - or simply hit the Esc button on your keyboard. Now you should see the OOoLilyPond Editor window.īy the way: OLy's Editor window does not have a " Cancel" or " Abort" button. Next time they won't show up again.Īlso don't worry if one message box says that LilyPond could not be executed. Just click "OK" to close the message boxes. Here we go: Create a new Writer document and click the OLy button.Īt the very first launch you will get two message boxes telling you that some folders ("language" and "templates") have been created. Language settings Launching for the first time ![]() So you do not need to worry about durations.This page will guide you through your first steps with OLy. In Rosegarden you do not need to show the duration of the chord as you will be attaching it to a note and LilyPond will not need to work out the spacings for the chordname itself. Some of you may have read up on chordname syntax on your own.and finally, if you want to show an inversion you can do this c c:/g c:5-/e c:m/g cis:m/e.Also if you wish to raise or lower a note already in your chord just name it with its number and + and - it to your heart's content.

But because of this, Rosegarden also uses the Dutch terminology. As the original programmers are Dutch, this is not too surprising. Now this is something which needs explaining! LilyPond uses Dutch notation terms by default. This would be is for sharp and es for flats. Next put in any pitch shifting notation.But you must use the LilyPond syntax to do so. If you wish to use the default LilyPond Ignatzek style chord names you can do that too. Rosegarden has it's own native style of naming chords which is a simple text in a nice font placed over the relevant note in the staff.
