splitting midi channels by voice
If I understand the documentation and the config files correctly, each staff is output to a separate midi channel, but voices within a staff share that channel. Is there a simple way to output one midi channel per voice, instead of per staff? This could be immensely useful for me when typesetting simple TTBB scores on two staves... -- Arvid ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

But it would be difficult for people who 'fix' things by inserting a temporary voice on the staff. arie ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
tab not working in emacs lilypond-mode
I get this error message when I use the tab key in lilypond-mode: save-excursion: Symbol's function definition is void: LilyPond-beginning-of-containing-sexp I have tried several versions of Lilypond. I am now running 1.8.1 on Debian unstable. It's really frustrating and time consuming to not have automatic alignment in emacs for Lilypond. Does anyone recognize this or can anyone tell me I can diagnose this? TIA, Paul Scott ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Clef^15
Hi everyone, I try to do the following in LilyPond 1.8.1: \clef "treble^15" but this seems to be an unknown clef type. Is there someway to fake it? Thanks! Thorkil ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I'm not suggesting to make it default, I'm simply asking if there's some way I can do this in my own scores. -- Arvid ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

If you use sly, it might be just as easy to maintain a separate midi version, initially using the same notes for both a two stave and a four stave version. You might like more or different dynamics in the midi version, for example. The opposite problem of splitting voices was asked a little while ago, but I still think that midi staves should be lilypond voices, and the reason is that unisons just don't work on a midi staff with more than one voice, and that's a built-in bug. If splitting to get huge numbers of parts is the reason for keeping things the way they are, that limitation should be documented. Better yet, it should be documented anyway. I used tuba, trumpet, clarinet and flute IIRC for a barbershop quartet midi file for rehearsal purposes. The contrasting sounds made it easier for the singers to learn their parts from the tape I made of the file. If you're doing a lot of pieces of the same type, especially if you are making an anthology, you could make two templates and generate two .ly files when you run sly on your notes.

You can certainly make a "15va" spanner. Do you want an actual
clef (which I've never seen before), or just a "two octaves higher" section
in your music?
This code worked two years ago; it will probably need to be updated for recent
versions of Lilyppond. It's quite ugly, but it should give you a hint about
how to do it.
\clef treble
\property Voice.TextSpanner \set #'type = #'dotted-line
\property Voice.TextSpanner \set #'edge-height = #'(0 . 1.5)
\property Voice.TextSpanner \set #'edge-text = #'("16va " . "")
d''4\fermata
\property Staff.centralCPosition = #-20
d'8 \spanrequest \start "text" ~ |
d8\fermata b'8 ~ b2\fermata \spanrequest \stop "text" |
\property Staff.centralCPosition = #-6

Like "G^88", which doesn't work of course. Isn't that used sometimes with piccolo? daveA -- Why should any country entrust its young people to the leadership of the same morons who *invaded the wrong country*? Answer: For lots of money.
