moved the LilyPond path to further down the PATH list, but maybe this
should be the way it is when installed?


thanks, path is now at the end.

What if they have a different version of python installed?  Would 
lilypond try to use an unsupported version of python and fail, or does 
lily only use its own installed python?


our python is rather wobbly. Chances are that the installed version is a 
native python , and would work better.

Context aliases

2006-11-06 Thread Erik Sandberg
hi,

In my quest for softcoding context-defs, I will need to revisit the \alias 
system. This is not on the top of my todo, but I'd like to hear any protests 
early.

I suggest that the \alias mechanism is scrapped altogether, and replaced with 
something else:
- junk Bottom alias, instead make is_bottom_context accessible from scheme.
- other aliases are replaced with appropriate boolean context properties, with 
more intuitive names (e.g. property 'isLyricMelody replaces current \alias 
Voice).

I think this will be an improvement, because we remove the concept of aliases, 
which confuses users (at least it confuses me a bit); in addition we don't 
need to do anything extra to softcode aliases.

All this is post-2.10 of course.

this is not about syntax, but about the ancient notation code misusing the 
current structure in ways that it wasn't designed to do.





Ancient notation uses "head prefixes" like \virga, \quilisma, etc. that 
are kind of attributes of the note heads for their further 
characterization (in the source code, these note heads also called 
"ligature primitives", if used in the context of ligatures).  These 
attributes further describe the heads, such as "select a virga glyph for 
this note head".  Still, the actual note head glyph depends not only on 
the attribute(s) of the note head, but also on the attributes of the 
left and right neighbour note head.  Hence, it does not make sense to 
store these attributes e.g. as notehead style.  Additionally, some 
implicit attributes derive from the combination of attributes of two 
adjacent note heads (e.g. for deciding if a vertical line has to be 
drawn between two adjacent note heads).


When the music is processed by the parser, I somewhere have to store 
this information that refers to individual note heads.  Obviously, the 
note heads themselves are the best place.  However, one of the design 
requirements of adding ancient notation to lily was to separate the new 
code as far as possible from existing code; in particular, ancient 
notation code was required not to "pollute" existing code of lily, such as 
note-heads.cc.  As a result, ancient notation inofficially uses these 
attributes without officially declaring them in noteheads.cc.


One theoretical solution would be to introduce a new "ligatureheads.cc" 
file instead of using the "noteheads.cc" functionality.  However, it 
turned out that almost all of the functionality of noteheads.cc would have 
to be cloned.  Even worse, some other parts of lily call methods in 
noteheads.cc (at least in earlier versions of lily they did; I have not 
checked for recent versions).  That is, when introducing a 
"ligatureheads.cc" I would have to add calls to methods in 
"ligatureheads.cc" all around the existing code, which would also pollute 
the code; i.e. introducing a "ligatureheads.cc" is not a solution. 
Subclassing "noteheads.cc" did not work for some technical detail that I 
currently can not remember.


The easiest solution that I can see is to tolerate little polution of 
"noteheads.cc" and just add the missing interface declaration at the end 
of this file.  However, that's not my decision...


Any comments to solve this problem are welcome; however, my time is 
currently extremely limited (still writing on my thesis and running out 
of time...), so I currently can contribute only cosmetic changes, if at 
all.


By the way, the particular warning "programming error: Grob `NoteHead' has 
no interface for property `text'" does not origin from ancient notation, 
as far as I can see.

Juergen

It should work, because the LilyPond scripts modify PYTHONPATH

`Vera Bold' replaced by `AlbanyAMT-Bold'

2006-11-06 Thread Werner LEMBERG

Inspite of explicitly selecting `Vera Bold' (in file font-name.ly),
lilypond gets a wrong font on my system: It uses `AlbanyAMT-Bold'
instead.  Bad, bad.

This is pango 1.4.0, together with fontconfig 2.3.2.

Doing some tests with fc-match, I get this:

  fc-match "Vera"
 -> albw.ttf: "Albany AMT" "Regular"

  fc-match "Bitstream Vera Serif"
 -> VeraSe.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Serif" "Roman"

  fc-match "Bitstream Vera Serif:style=Bold"
 -> VeraSeBd.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Serif" "Bold"

Hm, hm.  I don't consider this user-friendly.  fontconfig should look
up substrings IMHO before trying a completely different font.

Is this a problem on my side?  Is my fontconfig version too old?

This might have been true when you added this stuff (~ 4 years ago, I

Note_head::get_balltype() as well. The other routines have to do with

The formatting backend doesn't use subclassing at all, except for the

which code is shared. This is easiest to find out by first writing the

There is problem with the linker path, that creates a mix between
libraries in local and linux-x86.

linux-x86's config.log says:

ie, while linking to guile (-lguile), which *should* be

   target/linux-x86/system/usr/lib/libguile.la (.so)

we get an error about gmp in *local*.  Of course libgmp (and libguile)
in local is linked against /usr/lib/libc; while gmp, guile in linux-x86
are linked against linux-86/syste/usr/lib/libc.

If you do not see it, chances are that your libc versions are
compatible, but you'll still linking the wrong libraries.

One step further: if I try the link command manually, it works:

   $ target/linux-x86/system/usr/cross/bin/i686-linux-gcc  
-I/home/janneke/bzr/gub/target/linux-x86/build/lilypond-origin  -O2

so configure is called with an environment setting (LDFLAGS?) that
makes gcc look in local.

The problem is LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

We have a bit of a problem here.  For all tools (from local) that we run,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH must to point to local (first), but during link time
it must be unset (or point to linux-x86, but the cross compile will do
that for us).

So, either we wrap all executables in local, or we call the cross compiler
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH= i686-linux-gcc'.

Wobbly or not, it works and we have some sort of control over it.  We
have absolutely no idea what the python in front of the path is?

The question is: how much do we want to make sure that lilypond just
works after installation, and how much do we want to break someone's

The breakage would occur with people that have python installed

You have a point here. Perhaps we could have a context property 
cloneNewContexts, defaulted to #t for voices, which makes sure that contexts 
creations in the current context clone the current context, if the context 
types match. (so below, the context hierarchy would be Global-Score-Lyrics 
where the inner Voice is created, hence no settings would be inherited; this 
also means that the inner \new Voice should create a new staff implicitly).

I think the difficult thing is that the syntactical hierarchy of our input 
language doesn't match the hierarchy of contexts.

Ah, ok, so you also don't get `Vera'.  This is good to know.

And which font is finally used in your environment for font-name.ly?
If you don't get Vera Bold, we should either not say

  This text is large Vera Bold

Of course. I hope I manage to convince the authors of these pages to
contribute to the docs. I would be glad to join the devel team, but I'm
very busy with mathematics and oboe studies. My current participation to
LilyPond is:
- maintaining French translation of lilypond.org and LilyPond messages
(very little work actually)
- administrating and moderating the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list
(essentially spam filtering and replies on general issues)
- (in progress) extending makefiles and writing scripts to make posible
a translation of the user manual integrated with the English one.

When the latter is done, I will manage translation of the user manual,
which means at least checking translations and committing them to cvs. I
can't take other LilyPond jobs for the coming months. All this benefits
the French-speaking community, but I'm sure it will benefits the entire
community sooner or later thanks to reciprocal translation, too.

No, certainly not. Computer music notation is a very specialized work,
it will always have less users than word processors. So to be the most
efficient, the community should ideally not be too spread out, but very
close to the devel team.

Sorry, I have neither done any yet, so I currently can't do anything for

Don't worry about this: if a French piece of documentation that's not a
translation from English is added, I'll submit it to you, in English of
course!

There can't be only one "Translation Doc Helper" as soon as the docs are
in many languages, there should be one per language instead. I may take
the "French Translation Doc Helper" job when the makefiles
infrastructure for translating the user manual is done (I've been
working on this for a few days and that's not finished...).

This is OK.  My very concern was whether asking for `Vera Bold' *must*
return the Vera font, and this assumption was wrong.  That we all have
different defaults if the font name doesn't match exactly is a Linux
distribution thing.

As far as I can see, there isn't:

1) es.po (that's the file containing Spanish translation of LilyPond
binaries messages on screen output) from latest CVS says:

"PO-Revision-Date: 2002-06-28 15:46CET\n"
"Last-Translator: Quique <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n"


2) no page is translated in Spanish on lilypond.org

3) there is currently no dedicated infrastructure to translate the docs,
but keep an eye on this list, because I will send a partial patch for
this in the coming days. You can always translate the current docs by
replacing the Encglish sources with their translation. We (the French
translators) have tried once, and it isn't very statisfying.



I may suggest you to start with 1) and 2) as you like, and wait for 3)?
The developers may also give you instructions.

Resources (assuming you have a box with a Unix-like shell, cvs, make, a
good text editor, ...):

1) edit the es.po file from CVS repository
( http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=lilypond ; get module lilypond),
with vim, emacs or kbabel for example.

2) get lilypond.org sources (module newweb from the CVS repository), and
follow instructions in README, TRANSLATION and
http://lilypondwiki.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Translations_HOWTO


Good luck!

Re: Python path

2006-11-06 Thread Mats Bengtsson
My experience is that the native Python installation has always worked 
better
than the python bundled with LilyPond, so for that reason I don't see 
any problems

to move lilypond to the end of the PATH. However, I'm more worried about
Ghostscript dependencies, especially if the user happens to have Cygwin
included in the PATH (I'm not sure how common that is, though).
The native Windows Ghostscript executable is called gswin32.exe so that
shouldn't be a problem, though.

The main reason is to have one event less in the stream API (if we will keep 
the current alias mechanism, I will have to create an add-alias stream 
event). IWBN to keep that API minimal, and to me it seems that aliases aren't 
much used anyways.
