Re: Tutorial
During the years, we have seen a few emails from people who intend to translate the manual into different languages, but I don't known of anyone who has finished the task. One problem is that Lilypond still is continously developed, so the translator has to update the text fairly often. So, for the moment I recommend to try the English version. There is a multi-lingual dictionary of musical terms if you click on "Glossary" at lilypond.org, which can be useful during the reading. Mats Kantorat Winsen/Aller wrote: Hello!

For example, I am trying to create a score that has one single treble and bass clef. Each with two voices. Also, I need to add text to the score. The music is written in the key of a flat.

Dear all, I'd like to use Lilypond for algorithmic composition. The task could be to develop a program (maybe in Python) to write the lilypond file. But in instrumental composition there's always the necessity to re-adjust the result of the algorithmic process in order to have it (more) "playable". Is there a GUI frontend for lily for post-processing? (Or, which would be the same: does lily export in finale .mus extension?) Is there anyone doing algo-comp in this way on the list? thanks and best -a- ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I've added an example how to do this in input/regression/font-name.ly in 1.7 CVS; For mmrests there are some special problems in version 1.6, since it uses two fonts at the same time (one for the symbols, one for the numbers.) - I recommend you to try the next 1.7 release or wait for a few weeks till 1.8 is out. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Other fonts than computer modern/feta nummer
In the header, you can change the fonts using standard LaTeX
commands but if you want to do some more elaborate changes to the
layout I recommend to use lilypond-book instead of ly2dvi.
The Computer Modern font family includes a number of different
fonts, so if you just want a sans serif font, you could do for
example:
\header{
title = "\sffamily My title"
...
}
To get the Palatino font instead of Computer Modern in the heading, try
\header{
latexpackages = "palatino"
...
}

I tried to change the feta-nummer font for multi-measure rests (feta-nummer
is wonderful, but right now I'm making bass guitar transcriptions, and I
would prefer a more...modern-like font). If I use a standard font (i.e.
times), the whole rests disappear and latex gives me an error if I don't
set the church rest limit to 1. Is there a way to avoid this but using a
font different than feta-nummer for multi-measure numbers?

Re: Examples in keys other than C major?
John Hagerson wrote: #define NEWBIE on Thank you for the results on the template page http://lilypond.org/stable/input/template/out-www/template.html However, all of these examples are in the key of C. Could someone please point me to some examples in keys other than C? You can find lots of small examples at the web page if you click on Documentation:Index and then on "tips-and-tricks" and "regression test", respectively. You shouldn't have to browse many pages of the tutorial until you find instructions on how to set the key signature and specify the notes in other keys than C. I am working with Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders on a book that includes ?snippets? of music. Some of these snippets demonstrate key issues within the piece (they?re short, but tricky). One problem I?m having is to show one voice playing and a second voice jumping in after a few beats. I?ve tried a number of techniques based on the examples in the documentation and on the web site, but I?m not getting the results I seek. Did you look at http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Polyphony.html ? If I may, I would like to request some ?intermediate-level? examples. I know that this is a difficult request because there are many potential features. However, jumping from the available examples to trying to parse the full scores posted on the web is like drinking water from a shot glass or a fire hose. See above. Also, the tutorial and manual have been considerably rewritten in the latest development version since version 1.8 is soon to come. Even if some features of the program have changed, compared to version 1.6.x, I recommend to take a look at the tutorial of the development version web page. /Mats ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: frontends
Have you looked at CommonMusic? http://commonmusic.sourceforge.net/doc/ It's built on lisp (it can also run in guile) and it has a large set of classes and functions for algo composition. Perhaps there is a possibility of writing a layer that will output to Lilypond. There is CommonMusicNotation as well, that does notation and you can output directly into the Notation layer and get .ps output. Basing on that it would probably be not too difficult to write a lilypond file. I'd be interested in something like that, too, although right now I have hands (and head) full of other stuff... ./MiS On Mon, 28 Jul 2003 01:49:03 +0200 Andrea wrote: > Dear all, > I'd like to use Lilypond for algorithmic composition.
