Re: Help with String Orchestra Template Please using \quoteDuring command

[Simon Albrecht]

Hello,

first a couple of policy things: Please always keep communication 
on-list (i.e. use Reply All) unless in exceptional circumstances you 
really need to share private information. Also, tiny examples are very 
useful, even necessary for communication on our lists; for bug reports 
they have to be minimal, but also in every other circumstance it’s basic 
courtesy to provide the volunteers (such as myself) trying to help you 
with complete, compilable, but short examples. See 
http://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html.

It’s impossible to know what caused the error without seeing such a 
complete, compilable example, but it can’t have been solely from the 
‘missing’ duration.

The \quoteDuring goes exactly where you want to insert the quoted notes 
in your music expression. Again, I refer you to this example:

If there’s any further question, please ask more specifically and with 
an example of the code that you’re having problems with.

Best, Simon
