I am using MusiXTeX but have found that it's official document haven't said anything about placing a right-side bracket onto a chord. Could anyone please tell me how to achieve it?
(If I use left-side bracket, it could across through those accidental markers. Nobody want to see that happen.)
Include this code anywhere before and try using \rbracket instead of \bracket.
\makeatletter
\def\rbracket#1#2{\y#iv#2\internote \advance\y#iv\tw#\internote
\inhgetn#i#1\relax\pl#base \advance\y#i-1\h#lf\internote
\raise\y#i\rlap{\uplap{\offinterlineskip\hbox{\roffset{1.5}{\mxsps\#xxvii}}%
\hbox{\roffset2{\vrule\#height\y#iv}}\hbox{\roffset{1.5}{\mxsps\#xxvii}}}}}
\makeatother
I'm writing something that I would like to print in Latex and I'm using the book documentclass.
The standard behaviour is to consider odd pages (so the rear of a double sided paper) as the beginning of chapters and document too, I would like to swap them to be able to have correct margins: on an even page right margin is greater than left one, I need the opposite..
Does a simple snippet exist to achieve this thing?
Thanks in advance
Margins can be modified using the geometry package. The inner and outer arguments to this package control the margins you want to change:
\usepackage[a4paper,inner=3.5cm,outer=2.5cm]{geometry} % Or w/e
I need to make a journal, and I want to have a "recommended books" on the side of the page within the last page of the journal, but I couldn't find anything that would give me this result. I'm already using multicols package for the content and i cant see how a graphicx package would help me out.
I want to have a nice blue background with rounded corners too, help is welcome ^^.
If you are already using multicol, just make it another column and draw a box around it with the usual techniques. Maybe not the fanciest solution, but it seems like it should work. Use \newcolumn in the multicol environment to put the sidebar in its own column. For your fancy boxes, try the fancybox package. With it, you can draw boxes with rounded corners.
On the other hand, this guy gets super fancy and uses the TikZ package to get colors and all sorts of stuff.
I am trying to write a report and stuck with a wide figure. My document type is PRL using revtex4.1 with two columns. I have a wide figure which consists of 8 subfigures. I am trying to place it bottom of a page but it insists to go next page. Here is code for my wide figure:
\begin{figure*}
\centering
\subfloat[s1]{\label{fig:s1}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s1.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s2]{\label{fig:s2}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s2.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s3]{\label{fig:s3}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s3.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s4]{\label{fig:s4}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s4.png}}\\
\subfloat[s5]{\label{fig:s5}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s5.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s6]{\label{fig:s6}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s6.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s7]{\label{fig:s7}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s7.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s8]{\label{fig:s8}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s8.png}}
\caption{\label{fig:s}Caption}
\end{figure*}
Try also
\begin{figure*}[!hb]
If your figure is too wide, this might help: Centering wide tables or figures.
I don't know whether it will work, but have you tried using placements, ie:
\begin{figure*}[b]
where b stands for bottom?
You could also try using the float package (put this in the preamble, before \begin{document}:
\usepackage{float}
and then using
\begin{figure*}[H]
to specify exactly where you want your figure to be, i.e. put the figure exactly in the position in relation to your text where you want the figure to be placed.
It may be that your figure is just too big and it won't fit there, so you may have to reduce the size of the figures or fiddle with the margins (not recommended, but possible).
Lastly, in 6 days the LaTeX question and answer website will be open to everyone, and you might find it useful.
I am using LaTeX and the figure environment.
I am well familiar with the parameters to that environment: [htbp], and I am also generally familiar with the strategies that LaTeX takes, by default, to decide where to put each figure. For example, by placing figures at the top or bottom of the page.
What I am wondering is whether there is a package, macro, or some commands that I can give so that if I have a single-column document and I mostly have a single in-text reference to a figure, that the figure would be more likely to be placed in the same page of the reference?
For example, imagine that I have a long paragraph which in the middle has a \ref{FIG:X}. When rendered, some of the paragraph appears before the page break, and some appears after the page break. I can also place the figure command somewhere before and after the whole paragraph. Is there a way to get it to actually be placed in the same page as the actual reference?
I don't want to sound too negative, but there are occasions when what you want is almost impossible without a lot of "artificial" tuning of page breaks.
If the callout falls naturally near the bottom of a page, and the figure falls on the following page, moving the figure back one page will probably displace the callout forward.
I would recommend (as far as possible, and depending on the exact size of the figures):
Place the figures with [t] (or [h] if you must)
Place the figures as near as possible to the "right" place (differs for [t] and [h])
Include the figures from separate files with \input, which will make them much easier to move around when you're doing the final tuning
In my experience, this is a big eater-up of non-available time (:-)
In reply to Jon's comment, I think this is an inherently difficult problem, because the LaTeX guys are no slouches. You may like to read Frank Mittelbach's paper.
Yes, include float package into the top of your document and H (capital H) as a figure specifier:
\usepackage{float}
\begin{figure}[H]
.
.
.
\end{figure}
You can always add the "!" into your float-options. This way, latex tries really hard to place the figure where you want it (I mostly use [h!tb]), stretching the normal rules of type-setting.
I have found another solution:
Use the float-package. This way you can place the figures where you want them to be.
I solve this problem by always using the [h] option on floats (such as figures) so that they (mostly) go where I place them. Then when I look at the final draft, I adjust the location of the float by moving it in the LaTeX source. Usually that means moving it around the paragraph where it is referenced. Sometimes I need to add a page break at an appropriate spot.
I've found that the default placement of floats is reasonable in LaTeX, but manual adjustments are almost always needed to get things like this just right. (And sometimes it isn't possible for everything to be perfect when there are lots of floats and footnotes.)
The manual for the memoir class has some good information about how LaTeX places floats and some advice for manipulating the algorithm.
If you want force this behaviour on all of your figures try
...
\usepackage{float}
\floatplacement{figure}{H}
...
Maybe this will help you?
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{picture_name}
\end{center}
I think is better to use the graphics command when your figures run away.
I have some useful comments. Because I had similar problem with location of figures.
I used package "wrapfig" that allows to make figures wrapped by text.
Something like
...
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{graphicx}
...
\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{53pt}
\includegraphics[width=53pt]{cone.pdf}
\end{wrapfigure}
In options {r} means to put figure from right side. {l} can be use for left side.

One way I found that helps with this is to use \include{file_with_tex_figure_commands}
