Hello,
New lilypond user, finally got rid of finale (thank god). My question
is kind of dumb but I'm really confused about this.
I have a large ensemble score finished (Brass Choir, Organ and Chorus)
and I need to extract parts from this (can you tell I was a finale
user for 7 years?) Did I create the file backwards, as in should I
have created the parts first then put them into a larger score file?
Or is there a variable I set to tell lilypond to generate a part from
that line?
Thanks,
Josh Armenta

Absolutely. You can't imagine how long i fought to find proper
ways to align
"pp" and "pp sempre" properly with each other!

No, \< will produce a hairpin, \cresc a text crescendo... There's
really no
need for \crescTextCresc any more.

Every such syntax will need to be defined in and based on Scheme! The
regression test I pointed out just provides the function
definition. Lilypond
does not provide it itself (yet?), so you need to copy the
definition somewhere
in your own include files.
But when using it, there is no explicit scheme code involved, just
"normal"
LilyPond syntax, e.g.
c-\myTextCresc "crescendo..."

As with any other text crescendo spanner:
\override DynamicTextSpanner #'dash-period = #-1.0
> I am never satisfied but I also would like to use it without

No, that's not possible. LilyPond cannot have a function with
arguments behave
like that. If you want a command to take arguments, it will always
need a -, _
or ^ before the command. That's a general restriction with the
parser and also
applies to many other functions.
Most notably, the \tweak command suffers from this very problem,
too. See e.g.
http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/notation/the-tweak-command.html
<http://kainhofer.com/%7Elilypond/Documentation/notation/the-tweak-command.html>

Yes, I totally understand. However, the LSR is (still?) based on
lilypond
2.12, so it's not possible to submit it there currently. And when
it switches
to 2.13, probably noone will remember submitting such snippets
that show new
functionality...
Cheers,
Reinhold

But you can put it in Documentation/snippets/new right now, and it
will go
into the LSR when it's upgraded to 2.14, can't you?

I was a bit lax in not mentioning that this particular setting is
mentioned under the notation manual
section 2.7.2, "Displaying Chords" for both version 2.12 and 2.13
documentation.
It is sometimes frustrating finding examples as a newer user-
after a while you start to build a
library of your favourite tricks and shortcuts without remembering
where the description
of the feature came from.
In general, I do the following when I'm looking for information
about a topic in lilypond and
have done this since starting out:
1 - Check the notation manual. I will sometime browse the TOC or
look specifically in the index.
2 - Do a search in the user list archives.
3 - Browse the LSR
I almost always find what I am looking for by searching through
the list archives. There will usually be a pointer to a
previous discussion where the solution was described, or a
pointer to the relevant notation manual chapter
or LSR entry. The hardest thing is sometimes finding the right
keyword to search.
Cheers,
Jack

Thank you. THAT's the kind of

Hi List,
First I'd like to say that I'm comming to the conclusion that
Lilypond is a
very good software for contenporary music. Not everything is
out-of-the-box,
but if you take your time I think you will not need to do hacks
all the time
like in Finale. I just finished a section of a ensemble piece, it
looks
great. I'm a new user and I hope I will no encouter very big
problems on the
road... :-)
I'm copying a part with a tablature and there is one measure that
I have
damped strings on the guitar. I'd like to notate this with a different
notehead (a black square, or maybe a cross) instead and the usual
numbers.
Is it possible? The e-guitar have a non-standard scordatura, so
I'm doing
everything that is possible with tablature, since the players I'm
working
with said it is much easier to learn.
I modified a standard template to test this and it didn't work
with the
usual \override fot noteheads.
\paper {
#(define dump-extents #t)
line-width = 160\mm - 2.0 * 0.4\in
ragged-right = ##t
indent = 0\mm
force-assignment = #""
line-width = #(- line-width (* mm 3.000000))
}
\layout {
}
frag = {
\key e \major
e16 fis gis a b4
\set TabStaff.minimumFret = #8
\override NoteHead #'style = #'cross
e16 fis gis a b4
}
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff { \clef "G_8" \frag }
\new TabStaff { \frag }
>>

I found a possible solution in the archives of the other list, the
one for
tablatures. :-) If someone have a better one tell me.

Yes and you don't need any override, try this:
frag = {
\key e \major
e16 fis gis a b4
\set TabStaff.minimumFret = #8
\deadNotesOn
e16 fis gis a b4
\deadNotesOff
}
BTW, instead of
\override NoteHead #'style = #'cross
you should have used
\override TabNoteHead #'style = #'cross
but I guess \deadNotesOn does exactly what you want to achieve.
Read also the doc:
