Hi, Just to learn LilyPond better I've engraved the splendid Organ Sonata "Der 94ste Psalm" by Julius Reubke (1834-1858) with LilyPond 2.13.1. The result can be seen here [1]. The 28-page score is based on the IMSLP score (first edition 1871) of this piece.
The .ly files live in the lilymusic googlecode repository [2], a repo which I'm btw happy to share with anybody wanting to write good LilyPond scores (of public domain or otherwise Free music) under free licenes and svn version control. I discovered many niceties, e.g. when you use named contexts everywhere, you are always able to add things like markups and even accents etc. later from outside the main music definitions. This helps to separate the music and notes/remarks etc. I use a Devnull context containing some line breaks. The system-count and max-systems-per-page settings helped me well to get the score on the right number of pages. Also a few lil' bugs I'll try to isolate, like cross-staff slurs sometimes behave strange, esp. when there are also markups below or above. Forcing or forbidding line breaks works around that kind of problems. And sometimes autobeamed notes have too long stems just before/after staff changes (already in issue tracker). And LilyPond uses more than 600MB main memory during engraving which almost puts my 512M laptop to a grinding halt. I bought a new computer with 4gig main ram just to use LilyPond for my Reubke score! :-) [1] http://www.wilbertberendsen.nl/reubke/psalm94 [2] http://code.google.com/p/lilymusic/ and http://code.google.com/p/lilymusic/source/browse/#svn/trunk/reubke/psalm94 best regards, Wilbert Berendsen -- Frescobaldi, LilyPond editor for KDE: http://www.frescobaldi.org/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
