Repeats and ties (better)

2003-03-18 Thread Marco Caliari
Hi.

In my previous mail I was not clear enough. If you have

\repeat volta 2 {d1 c~} \alternative {{c d c}{c}}

there should be a slur sign before the c in the second alternative, not
starting from the c~, but starting from "nothing", after the repeat bar
between the alternatives. I think it should be automatic, but is there
a way to put a slur sign as wanted?

The easiest is probably to add an invisible note that the tie can start
from:
\alternative{{...}{\makeInvisible c4/2 ~ \makeVisible c4/2 ...}
where the macros can be defined as
makeInvisible = {\property Voice.NoteHead \override #'transparent = ##t
  \property Voice.Stem \override #'transparent = ##t }
makeVisible = { \property Voice.NoteHead \revert #'transparent
   \property Voice.Stem \revert #'transparent }
The 4/2 duration is just a trick to avoid that the extra note destroys
the rhythm.

I'm using Lilypond 1.6.6, and I have the same annoying problem... I
tried manually adjusting the spacing, but I didn't manage.

Thanks. I will try it as soon as possible. However, it is a little
complicated. All the scores I have seen (marching bands scores, above all)
have that short tie. The same for slurs starting before the first
alternative and ending on the second. I think it should be
automatic. Will it be?

It will, if we find a neat way to implement it.

I made `quote' the default to imitate the previous behaviour of the
old TeX code in lilypond.

Something did change though; the LilyPond manuals are now filled with
overfull hbox rules.  It would be nice if the default behavior doesn't
cause this -- preferably by setting sane margins and indents.

And the "quote" behavior indents at both the left *and* the right
margins, which is not the old behavior, or any behavior I've seen
anywhere else in either TeX or music publishing.

See the HDM under "root", page 652.  If you paste a musical
example into text, you are going to center it if it doesn't fill
the text width, and least if you have two columns you will.
Maybe it's better just to explain what \quote/
noquote does and why and leave it at that.  It certainly
doesn't bother me now that I understand it.  It's for quoting
substantial blocks of text, as an alternative to quotation
marks.  Similar to quoting lyrics or poetry, although that
wouldn't be justified.
If it is a serious inconvenience in doing the docs,
it's not worth it.

This was not me!  I haven't touched the TeX code in LilyPond for a
long time, and then it worked fine.

Just go on!  I can't promise to find time in the near future to solve
this issue -- I currently have to prepare releases for groff, my CJK
package for LaTeX and some stuff for the next TeXLive CD.
