Re: Help with fonts
Make sure that the files lilypond.map and feta20.pfa are installed and belong to the 2.0.0 installation. Also, make sure that the teTeX filename database is up to date by running 'texhash' as root. To find out where dvips finds the files, run the following commands: kpsewhich --format='dvips config' lilypond.map kpsewhich feta20.pfa Both should return the full path to the corresponding file. /Mats Marcelo Gomes de Queiroz wrote: Hello!

Re: Landscape from Lilypond 2.0.1 on Cygwin
Unfortunately, LilyPond itself doesn't realize what is should do with
the line width if you have set orientation="landscape", so you have to
do it manually:
\include "paper16.ly"
\paper{
orientation = "landscape"
linewidth=27.0 \cm
}
(Note that you have to set linewidth after you have included paperNN.ly,
otherwise it will be reset to the default for the paper size.)
The resulting PDF file should display in the correct orientation but
if you view the PS file with gv or GSView, it may cut of the lines
unless you set it to display in Landscape (i.e. rotated 90°).

Re: Insert arbitrary graphical symbols
There are several possibilities. The simplest is probably to include TeX commands as text scripts, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/input/test/out-www/collated-files.html#embedded-tex.ly To get the correct position, you could play with the extra-offset property (search the mailing list archives). It should also be possible to replace ordinary accidentals with your own symbols by setting properties of the Accidental object, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/Accidental.html but I don't know how tricky it is. It's probably much easier if you have the symbols available in a font than in .eps graphics files.

I read a bit about \embeddedps: is this the appropriate means for my purpose? I wonder whether there is perhaps some other means which allows to include, e.g., some arbitrary *.eps graphics in place of an accidental. Thank you very much!

I had gone around several variations of this syntax, but you (as usual)
hit on the one that works. Thank you!
The file is still "upside down". In Acrobat Reader (v6) I have to
rotate the file twice to view it as expected. Can we convince Lilypond
to do differently? I need to e-mail these parts to casual, amateur
singers. I don't want to have to tell them to rotate the parts if we
can get Lilypond to do it.
Thank you again!

Docs suggestion
I'd like to see a new section in the fine manual: How-Tos. In specific, I'm looking for something like "How to adjust the 'margins' on output (see linewidth, place it _after_ the \include paper16.ly)." Or "How to move the lyrics closer to the notes." Or "How to make the lyrics line up with the first note of each melisma." Some of this same material exists as comments or implications in the regression tests. Some of it doesn't. As a late-night frustrated user, I'd like a place in the manual that showed extremely brief but complete examples, preferrably accurate with the current version of the software. Someone asked recently for Docs suggestions and criticisms, so there's my two cents worth. I go to the docs, particularly the PDF file, for everything. When I fail to find something there I turn to the regression tests and other .ly files littering the installation directory. My feeling is that new users have terminology problems (the docs could help somewhat). For example, Margin is found in relation only to TeX and LaTex files: nothing ties it to linewidth. In the last two revisions Lilypond docs have added some excellent, very readable explanatory material. I really like the new versions of the first two chapters. But as someone who's operating under an intense time constraint, I also need a How-To section, which should embody the FAQs, the examples and samples, the regression tests, and a How-To spin on each of the remaining document sections. Short but complete examples are intensely useful. -- Daniel Ashton PGP key available http://Daniel.AshtonFam.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ChamberMusicWeekend.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# 9445142 http://ZephyrBrass.com ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I have pdfs of the original finale file and the lilypond output. (converted) to see
that
the original etf was in eminor and the
outputted ly is in G Major!
I will stop here for the time being because although there are indeed
more 'bugs' in etf2ly the key issue is a major one as is the header
issue.
Also a quesion is there a way to convert into relative mode??
I would love the output to have just one or two commas or
apostrephies
I split this whole mess into three parts because of its length I am so sorry about
this and
I hope it doesn't confuse or annony anyone but one email was snagged because it was to

Re: Docs suggestion
In principle, I agree! However, I also have some comments: - You didn't mention two other excellent sources of information: * The "Tips and tricks" document. * The mailing list archives. - There are thousands of different things you can do with LilyPond that are not explained with a separate example in the manual. It's very difficult to know what to include, but one of the best ways to find out what is missing is to look at the questions to this mailing list. I know that Han-Wen and Jan struggle hard to remove not only bugs but all kind of limitations and problems that pop up on the mailing lists, still it would be great if someone had the time to collect a How-To or FAQ. We have discussed it several time on the list and even had a FAQ on the web using wiki-wiki technique so that anybody could update it. One of the main problems actually turned out to keep it up to date, the same problem as any other kind of documentation. So, in the end it boils down to finding one or more persons who have the time and ambition to maintain such a document. - The specific issues you mention, are described in the "Global layout" section of the manual (in more or less detail). The first step, instead of creating a new How-To document, is to clarify the text of the existing manual. Here it's very easy for you and everybody else to make a contribution, just send suggestions for reformulations of the text to bug-lilypond. Mats J. Daniel Ashton wrote: I'd like to see a new section in the fine manual: How-Tos. In specific, I'm looking for something like "How to adjust the 'margins' on output (see linewidth, place it _after_ the \include paper16.ly)." Or "How to move the lyrics closer to the notes." Or "How to make the lyrics line up with the first note of each melisma." Some of this same material exists as comments or implications in the regression tests. Some of it doesn't. As a late-night frustrated user, I'd like a place in the manual that showed extremely brief but complete examples, preferrably accurate with the current version of the software. Someone asked recently for Docs suggestions and criticisms, so there's my two cents worth. I go to the docs, particularly the PDF file, for everything. When I fail to find something there I turn to the regression tests and other .ly files littering the installation directory. My feeling is that new users have terminology problems (the docs could help somewhat). For example, Margin is found in relation only to TeX and LaTex files: nothing ties it to linewidth. In the last two revisions Lilypond docs have added some excellent, very readable explanatory material. I really like the new versions of the first two chapters. But as someone who's operating under an intense time constraint, I also need a How-To section, which should embody the FAQs, the examples and samples, the regression tests, and a How-To spin on each of the remaining document sections. Short but complete examples are intensely useful. -- = Mats Bengtsson Signal Processing Signals, Sensors and Systems Royal Institute of Technology SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Sweden Phone: (+46) 8 790 8463 Fax: (+46) 8 790 7260 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.s3.kth.se/~mabe = ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Almost. This is an editing task, and the developers don't like the
idea of user variables, for fear it may result in preprocessing.
Also, you want a finished product so you can add fingering, etc.,
when you have finished the notes.
You will find something close in ptfilter.txt, specifically
substitute.sed. Change the <> to [] though, because of the
change in lilypond chord syntax. You want one measure on
each line in your infile. I'm going to rework that pretty
soon.
a bis c cis Your []4 xx- []8copied []-stuff here []4
sed -f substitute.sed infile.ly > newfile.ly produces:
Your a4 xx- bis8copied c-stuff here cis4
and doing this isn't that hard:
[]4 xx- []8copied []-stuff here []4
[]4 xx- []8copied []-stuff here []4
[]4 xx- []8copied []-stuff here []4
[]4 xx- []8copied []-stuff here []4

(Artificial) harmonics
I am newcomer to Lilypond, and I like what I see - which to date is only
very little.
Almost immediately I ran into a problem: artificial harmonics (cello
music; the problem is the same for all string instruments, of course).
The solution to that problem came through interaction with Lilypond from
A. Beneteau, who sent me the follwowing exxample:
---
\score {
\notes
\new Staff { << { \property Voice.NoteHead \set #'style = #'harmonic
g'} \\ {c'4} >> }
}
Note very obvious, nor short to type, but this is the idea
---
This indeed works. But, I don't think the solution is worthy of
Lilypond: the noteheads are really just a little too small and the entry
is much more cumbersome than necessary, I would think.
For an example, see the attached extract from S. Saens' 3rd violin
concerto: it is clear that the diamond-shaped heads actually cross the
staff lines when the note is between the lines!
My desire would be to have a syntax like the following (but not
necessarily this; anything else that fits better with the Lilypond style
is fine, of course):
c\ahfor artificial harmonics, in which case Lilypond would
automatically create the two noteheads that represent this in printed
music: the lower, regular note at the pitch specified, and an open,
diamond shaped one a fourth above it (see attached); for the very rare
case that a different interval is used, an additional modifier could be
used;
d\nhfor natural harmonics, where only the diamond shaped
head is
printed at the specified pitch.

Hi all, a while ago I asked advise on versioning for a notation project. The answer was CVS. I asked my webhost if I could install it and they gave me shell access. I have no idea however what I am doing, I read the help files and can't figure out how to use it. They all say make a Repoistory directory, which I did. All empty. Do I create a directory structure for the files or does Cvs. I realize that this is the wrong list to ask but I can't see myself subscribing to yet another mailing list..
