Possibly, please bite ;-) What I meant to say was: I don't have that
software, and I won't put much effort into supporting it.  We'll want

Re: How to Debug Parse Errors

If you use the Cygwin installation, the example files are available

'}'s ). I had to reinsert all of the line endings and missing characters 
with Nedit.

Then ly2dvi processed the file properly. LaTex barffed on the <8A> 
character, but I just replaced it with an 'a' and everything processed 
properly.

I guess I'll have to unzip and untar the source code to get good copies 
of example files instead of saving them from the web site through my 
browser.

^M are end of line characters in dos. <8A> = ä, this one shouldnt be a
problem for lilypond. i don't know about the ^M's though. you might try
running the file through dos2unix ('man dos2unix' for more info), then
try ly2dvi on it.

unwanted extra time signatures

[Suzanne E. Blatt]

Hello.  I'm programming a song that alternates from 6/8 to 4/4 time with each measure. 
 When I ly2dvi the .ly file, I get a double time signature at the end of my line.  For 
example,

6/8 notes | 4/4 notes | 6/8 notes | 4/4
4/4 notes | 6/8 notes | 6/8 notes | 4/4
4/4 notes ... etc.

Can anyone suggest why this might be happening and how I can get rid of the 'extra' 
4/4 ?

Thanks,

Suzanne

I had this problem too. I just replaced "FLEX_STD" in that patch with 
"std::" (or you could probably do a #define, but I did it the hard way:). 
The ultimate goal is for the "cerr" to be "std::cerr".

I'm using Lilypond 1.7.3 with Mandrake 9.0, and it works great.

The mystery is that it was working fine before.  I had made the change in
texmf.cnf and all was well.  I set:

pool_free = 50

..and it is still set that way.  The change stands.  Last night my file
compiled just fine.  Today it doesn't.  Nor does the small excerpt I sent.
That is why I find it so strange.

From the error printout in your first email, it seems that this
time it wasn't the pool-size but the "main memory size". I think
it should help to set extra_mem_top. It's not uncommon that the
Lilypond output breaks the default memory limits in LaTeX, so don't
worry too much about why it worked when.

Ok.  Chalk it up to evil spirits, then.  I'll accept that.

You mentioned earlier:

I put these setting in the lilypond-profile.sh, restarted cygwin and it
seemed to fix it.

Just run the cygwin installer, select the Lilypond package
and the packages it depends on. You may want to go through the
package list if you don't want to automatically update all
already installed packages to the latest version.

Ack.  The initial package-list screen didn't have

OK, so far so good; it didn't kill /home/rpeck.  ;-)

Cool: I got working PDF output.

"SVG" and found nothing.  How do I generate SVG output so

Since this feature is the latest and hotest, it's not included in
the stable 1.6.x series, only in the latest versions of the
experimental 1.7.x series, which isn't available as a Cygwin
package. If you really want to try it now, I'm afraid you have to
compile Lilypond yourself. Some people on the list have managed
to do it in Cygwin, but most of the developers prefer Linux.

Ah.

Thanks.  I run Linux at home, but don't have such a machine 
at work, where I do much of my home work while waiting for
ant to build my Java project and Xalan to process my XSLT
and hacking in emacs. . .
 

I'll see what Cygwin will do and go from there.

Once I build it, how is SVG generated?  Pointers to the
correct executables and portions of source would be helpful.
I don't have time to read through all the sources just to
see whether this is a good path to follow. . .

Yes, but it is not "the" GUI. Denemo development has been stagnant for
a year or so now. If you need a GUI, you can try RoseGarden
(rosegarden.sf.net) or Noteedit
(http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html)

SVG samples are in http://lilypond.org/~jan/sodipodi/

You could ask those developers what chances there are for a windows
port. Qt is also available on MS, but there might be problems with
licensing and with the MIDI/sequencing libraries.

RE: Using Lilypond with OpenOffice?

[Ray Peck]

Thanks.

My point in all of this is to get a document re-written, using Open
Source software to allow others in my group to contribute to it.  

While I may be able to do some work to get this accomplished in the way
I want (e.g., writing an XSLT transform to convert the Lilypond
SVG output into an OpenOffice Draw document), I really don't
have the time to do major ports of software.

I spend my long work days doing this stuff; my evenings are reserved
for my 5-year-old son.  And I need to get this document done soon
(in weeks, not months).

So for now my game plan will be:

1. Try to get 1.7.9 to compile under Cygwin.

2. If that seems hopeless, build on my Linux box.  This would
be bad, because as I said I'll do most of this work during work
hours, and our network drops my ssh connections to home every 2
minutes or so. . .

3. Write an XSLT filter to transform the SVG output to something 
that OO Draw will read.

4. If this all takes very long, I'll be drawing notation "by hand".

BTW, I loaded those two sample sodipodi svg files into the Adobe
Reader.  It renders partially, but it shows bounding boxes where
noteheads should be.  Am I missing a font?

You could ask those developers what chances there are for a windows
port. Qt is also available on MS, but there might be problems with
licensing and with the MIDI/sequencing libraries.

Certainly! Goto the Lilypond web page, click on Search,
and search for sodipodi in the lilypond-devel mailing list
archive.

incidentally, both Jan and I feel that we can almost start stabilizing
for 1.8. We only have to make the new text markup system functional,
and port the examples over, and 1.8 is done, feature wise.

Are there any suggestions for bugs ("this worked in 1.6, but now it
doesn't!") that should be fixed?

Yes, I thik you are missing some pfa (perhaps...) fonts. I think Adobe
Viewer cannot see them in any way: the trick is to use my svg font
draft. But, as I told you in a private e-mail, the one I sent you is
broken due to my broken lilypond istall: you can try to fix it yourself
or I'll do as soon as possible!

Thanks!  We can move this discussion over to lilypond-devel.

Fancy characters in text markup

[Russell Smiley]

Would someone mind explaining why this doesn't work (the slashed 'o'
doesn't print)?

b'2.^#'(columns "C" (super (music "accidentals-1")) ((overstrike "o")
"/"))

Similarly with this the '4' is never published:

e'2.^#'("Gma7" (super (music "accidentals-1")) "4")

Thanks for your help.

Russell.

Default Accidentals

[Richard Grubb]

I am entering a piece of music in the key of D major. But lilypond 1.6.0 
is putting a natural sign in front of all my f and c notes. I thought 
the default behavior was to print the note without any accidental and 
the musician would infer it was to be played as f sharp and c sharp from 
the key signature.

Here is the relevant portion of my input.

\include "property-init.ly"

instrument = "Guitar"

\version "1.6.0"

\include "paper16.ly"

\score{
	\notes {
		\time 4/4
		\key d \major
		\clef treble
		\relative c''{
			f4. e8 d4 e4 | f4 eis4 f4 d4 | e4 e4 e4 e4 | e1 |
			e4. d8 c4 d4 | e4 dis4 e4 c4 | d4 d4 d4 d4 | d1 |
			a4. ais8 b4 a4 | a4 ais4 b4 a4 | a4 e'4 e4 e4 | e1 |
			a4. ais8 b4 a4 | a4 ais4 b4 a4 | a4 f4 f4 f4 | f1 |
			f4. e8 d4 e4 | f4 e4 f4 d4 | e4 e4 e4 e4 | e1 |
			e4. d8 c4 d4 | e4 dis4 e4 f4 | d4 r4 a'2 | d4 r4 s4 r4 |
		}
   }

   \paper {
	   textheight = 270.0\mm
	   linewidth = 180.0\mm
   }
}

You told Lilypond to print an f-natural (f4), so it did so.  If you want
an f-sharp, use fis.

^M are end of line characters in dos.

Re: Using Lilypond with OpenOffice?

Hi!

I'm writing a document on music theory and New Standard Tuning 
(Robert Fripp's fifths-based guitar tuning).  The first version
of this was done with Word and Visio (hiss!); the new version
is in OpenOffice.

I'm adding notation to the new version of the doc (the
first version only had fretboard diagrams), and would love
to use Lilypond and the GUI front end to generate it.
I want the images to scale (I don't want pixmaps).  I guess
EPS is possible, but that seems like heavy overkill for the
dozens of little musical fragments that I want to build.

From what I've been reading I can't quite figure out how  to

make Lilypond and OpenOffice play together nicely without
writing a bunch of software myself, which I don't have time
to do (e.g., writing an SVG backend for Lilypond and then
a way to import SVG directly into OpenOffice).


Do you have any clues for me about who else might be working
on this?  I really don't want to build notation note-by-note
in OpenOffice Draw!


How about using GIMP to capture the images and create any efficient 
image file you want to insert into your OpenOffice document?
