Hello, After trying out Lilypond a long time ago I recently decided it was time to try it again. I run a RH7.1 box so I downloaded the RPMs for RH7.1 (1.4-7). The RPMs installed without any problems. I then made a small test. Lily digested it just fine but the music fonts did not appear. The font files were in /usr/somethingorother so I linked them to where teTeX looks for font material, ran 'texhash' and all was well.
Now I have run into a couple of problems which I have not been able to solve yet. I have a measure in which I need to have two voices. The bottom voice is sixteenth notes and the top voice is eighth notes. The time is 4/4 and the top voice only goes for the first three beats of the measure. I tried the \context thing but I doubt that I'm using it correctly. Can it start at any time, or does it need to be invoked at the beginning of the file? I tried starting it up in the measure where I needed it. In another measure I need to do this: __________ | | | | |__|__|__| Can someone point me to the right place in the docs? I have the doc 'Lilypond.ps'. Another problem: I have a clef change during a beam. There are four sixteenth notes in this beam, the clef change occurs after the first note of the beam. I got the beam out of the way of the clef using; \property Voice.Beam \set #'staff-position = #-10 It looks great but the beamed group immediately before it as well as all following beams are adjusted. How do I limit the change to this one beamed group? ***** Some comments: The file I'm working on originated on Windows with Finale 2000. I saved the file as .MID and used midi2ly. The results were odd. I had some phantom notes appearing where none were coded. I puzzled over this for a while and finally decided to strip out all the midi related stuff in the file. Once I cleaned that out the phantom notes disappeared. It happened whether I saved the midi file as type 0 or type 1. I think the phantom notes were supposed to be in a much later measure. I also tried using the etf2ly on an .etf file saved by Finale 2000. Lilypond seemed to choke on it. No ouput. Just for fun I tried having Lilypond generate PS directly. The file displayed just fine in gv (a bit "out of focus" in appearance) but when I tried printing, the noteheads were printed as "$". I suspect that I need to move/link the .pfa files to a place where gs can find them (but why did it display properly?).
