How to produce a5 paper music

2002-09-07 Thread Marco Caliari

Hi.

I think the simplest way to produce a5 paper music with Lilypond is:

include \paper{papersize="a4" orientation="landscape"} at the beginning of 
your own file (say enea.ly);

include \paper{linewidth=280.0\mm} at the end of the score

ly2dvi

(view with xdvi -paper a4r enea.dvi)

dvips -ta4 -tlandscape enea.dvi

(my gv cannot view enea.ps but...)

pstops -pa4 "2:0L@.71(21cm,14.85cm)+1L@.71(21cm,0)" enea.ps enea.a5.ps  

my gv CAN view and print fine enea.a5.ps

Bye

No, it will be in 1.6.3, but the previous suggestions will continue to
work. No sweat!

Sorry for the delay. The reason that it won't break at the arpeggio'd
grace note, is because of grace synchronization. Since the down voice
doesn't have a grace note there, the beam is thought to last past the
end of the arpeggio grace, thus preventing a break before the arpeggio
grace. The simplest solution is to insert a phantom grace in the other
voice as well, i.e. \grace s8

I agree that this is hairy and counterintuitive. So, are there any
doco hackers that want to add a note about this to the refman?

(I'll think if I can come up with a good solution, but in the
meantime, some more explanation in the manual would be welcome.)

No, but they change the NoteHead definition at Thread level,
overriding the molecule-callback setting at Voice level. I think
make-head-type-elem should insert an \outputproperty instead, as it
does something different per note head. Also, it seems that the
current code keeps extending the NoteHead definition, without every
reverting anything.

Another option is to set a music property 'style in the note-head
request, and use that in the notehead engraver. Final option: make a
separate drum-head-engraver and drum-head-performer and postpone the
translation to the interpretation stage. Advantages: this is cleaner,
and you don't need a separate MIDI block to get the instrumentation
right.

Percent in lyrics

2002-09-07 Thread Moray Allan

Sorry if this is answered somewhere in the documentation, but I can't
find it anywhere:

In lyrics mode, how can I enter a literal % without Lilypond
interpreting it as a comment? - Escaping with backslash doesn't help.

(Before anyone suggests it, no I can't just write 'percent', since the %
is actually a symbol in a harmonic analysis. ;)

Alternatively, can someone tell me if this just isn't possible, and I
can presumably set something up to hack the TeX output from Lilypond.

Thank you for your help,

Yes, escaping with backslash DOES help. I could not in any way force an 
error as long as I escaped the percent mark.
Perhaps your problem is that the EMACS-mode goes wrong and colours the 
rest of the line red. But this is not a bug in *lilypond* - it's a bug 
in the emacs mode, and it is completely harmless.

Ah, thank you: once I knew that was supposed to work, I realised that
the machine I was using only had Lilypond 1.4.12. - On that version it
was failing with the error 'lilypond: paper-stream.cc:74:
Paper_stream::~Paper_stream(): Assertion `nest_level == 0' failed.'

With Lilypond 1.6.0 this does indeed work, which is great.

Thanks again,
