Bug with Quarter Tone Chord Playback

Microtonal chords don't seem to play back correctly. For instance, here is an excerpt formerly from the Quarter tone page:

Note that the chords are, for whatever reason, being rendered in 12 equal with no quarter tones at all. The rendered notes are C D F Ab Bb, C# F# A B D#. This indicates some kind of bug in the rendering software when rendering microtonal chords.

This does render correctly if we play them one note at a time:

although you can still hear pitch bends shifting in the release tail, which makes me think that the source of the problem is that the different MIDI notes are all being played on MIDI channel #1, and thus there are multiple conflicting pitch bend messages (typically microtonal chords have each note played on different channels for this reason, so that one can tune the different notes individually). :::: — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:42:702:9F90:50CB:C35E:58B:CC6D (talk) 20:01, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

This limitation (microtonal chords) is noted in the current (2.22) LilyPond documentation, "Unsupported notation for MIDI". — Jon (talk) 23:47, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Time signature

How do I actually get the time signature to properly appear when it’d otherwise wouldn’t? 2601:C6:D281:6710:C8A8:BCDF:36EE:6A13 (talk) 23:32, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Why wouldn't it? It always appears unless it's suppressed: <score> c' </score> gives

But look at the Wikipedia page for the diminished triad (Diminished triad), the syntax gives:

2601:C6:D281:6710:914B:28A0:A21E:46A3 (talk) 14:27, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

The time signature in that snippet doesn't appear because it's deliberately suppressed by \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:12, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Recreate Russian anthem

I recreated the Russian National anthem using the score feature:

2601:C6:D281:6710:914B:28A0:A21E:46A3 (talk) 14:43, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

indented first line and line break

In the following score, the line break on the first line is one beat too early and I can't see why. I was expecting to get something like this result.

Also the first line is indented; I would prefer it not to be.

Could anyone help with these issues? GoPlayerJuggler (talk) 17:06, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
