Re: trouble with LaTeX package "doublespace"
Weird! However, I followed the advice in the CTAN catalogue entry for
doublespace:
"Defines the spacing environment which you can use anywhere in your
document. This package is superseded by setspace."
and tried the setspace package instead, which seems to work well.

If I uncomment "\usepackage{doublespace}" though, I get the attached

I have gotten this result using the official Debian packages of lilypond

Any ideas? Please cc: me, I am not subscribed.

Re: Help with fonts
The .map file is probably OK, but the critical thing is that the feta*.pfa files really belong to your current LilyPond version. What does grep CreationDate `kpsewhich feta20.pfa` return? The flag -u -lilypond.map tells dvips to use the scalable fonts *.pfa instead of bitmap fonts *.*pk in the Postscript. You won't see much of a difference in the .ps file unless you magnify it but it makes a huge difference in how PDF files appear on screen.

Very long hyphens in lyrics
Hi,
I'm typesetting a piece where the first syllable "dam" of one word "dam - ni"
is ornamented for 3 bars. I am no expert in vocal music notation, but all my
sources notate this by using a sequence of short hyphens ("dam - - - - - ni"
like LyrB below) instead of one very long hyphen ("dam ni" like
LyrA below). However, my hack in LyrB is an ugly hack that shouldn't be done.
Is there an easy way of achieving something similar in Lilypond? If not,
should there be one? (Since this seems to be some kind of standard, perhaps a
special notation of it would be motivated? E.g., --- or -- --?)
Thanks,
Erik

Re: configure warning for 2.0 build
Hello, kpathsea.h (on FreeBSD) redefines getopt() in an incompatible manner. you may ignore this warning, i compiled lilypond successfully ignoring that. However if you define -D__GNU_LIBRARY__ within CFLAGS, kpathsea.h will define getopt() correctly. Have a look at http://www.foo42.de/devel/lilypond-freebsd/ for FreeBSD specific issues and port skeletons to test with. I appreciate any feedback or testing results on that. I'll have an inofficial 4.8-RELEASE binary package of lilypond 2.0.1 up there in this minute.

Re: Very long hyphens in lyrics
One common way to typeset this is to use an extender line,
as you have done after cau-sa. It shouldn't be hard to
implement support for this alternative layout, for example
adding a property to LyricHyphen or LyricExtender. We already
have support for dashed lines in several other contexts.

IMHO LilyPond's lyrics engraving is not very good at all. This kind of lyric hyphen is by design - but I don't understand why..

Re: (Artificial) harmonics
The syntax isn't much of a problem. You could define your own command:
nh = \notes {\once \property Thread.NoteHead \set #'style = #'harmonic }
and use it like '\nh c4'.
Also for the artificial harmonic it can be done, but you would have to
do a Scheme function since it has to calculate the position of the
diamond shaped note.
This is the power of LilyPond. There are thousands of different things
you can do by setting different properties. It's impossible to include
shortcut definitions of every possible feature but it's easy for every
user to define shortcuts for his own favourites.

Almost immediately I ran into a problem: artificial harmonics (cello

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.

Repeated sections and key signatures
Hello all,
I am a newbie to Lilypond but so far have been having fun learning to
engrave music with it. I have searched the archive for this problem and have
not found an answer to it. Sorry if it has been covered.
The problem occurs when notating a melody that has repeated sections.
This piece has the form AABB where A is repeated and B has alternate
endings.
Here is how the code would look:
\notes {
\key g \major
\relative c' {
%A section
\repeat volta 2 {
some notes }
%B section
\repeat volta 2 {
some more notes }
\alternative {
{ ending one }
{ ending two }
}
\bar "|."
}
}
For a situation such as this, Lilypond seems to always attempt to place the
repeat sign for the beginning of the B section at the beginning of the line.
The problem is that it places the repeat sign BEFORE the key signature
instead of after it. This looks very odd and I have never seen this done
this way in a printed edition. Has anybody else come across this? Is it a
bug? Is there a way around this?

turn off accidental cancellation
By default Lily provides the cancellation -- so this e-flat gets a natural (to cancel the e-sharp in the signature) and then the flat. \key fis \major ees Is there a property that controls this behavior?

Hi all,
I rememeber reading about a change to \relative. I opened the news
section of the docs and this is what I saw.
I just can't make heads or tails out of it, could someone explain this
for me??
Also if this is a new way of using \relative it seems that the old way
is still in the docs
-
The definition of \relative has been simplified. Octaves are now always
propagated in the order that music is entered. In the following example,
PRE
\repeat "unfold" 3 BODY \alternative { ALT1 ALT2 }
POST
the octave of BODY is based on PRE, the starting octave of ALT1 on BODY,
the starting octave of ALT2 on ALT1, and the starting octave of POST on
ALT2.
The same mechanism is used for all other music expressions, except the
chord. Backwards compatibility is retained through a special program
option, which is set through
#(ly:set-option 'old-relative)

Thanks

I learned about it from the mailing list and the "tips and tricks" section.
I'm not certain if it's introduced in the manual (although there are a few
examples that use it).
Yes, it probably _should_ be introduced in the manual; it's on my big list
of "things I'd like to add".

I don't know of any complete diagram, but many objects say "Grob Foo is a
member of the Bar class, and can contain Oof and Rab grobs".

How do you handle collisions when you attempt this?
music=\notes{ g4 g }
dynamics=\notes{s4\mp s4\ff}
\score{ \new Staff <<

Hello! To whom it may concern: I've downloaded/installed LilyPond for my Windows XP, but when I run the program, a window that looks like MS Dos comes up and says "bash-2.05b$" Is this supposed to happen?

Re: I need support :)
Welcome to linux. your just got a command prompt. Before you go into shock I would suggest reading the docs. I also came from a windows background and while it took me a bit of time to 'catch on' it was more than worth it. This group is also an above average resource for newbies.

RE: I need support :)
LilyPond runs on CygWin, which is a Linux-like environment on Windows. Many programs that come from Linux-world can be run on this environment, LilyPond is one of them. > and says "bash-2.05b$" How do you start it? (Actually cygwin should be started with c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat or bash --login) If you get this prompt message, something is wrong with Cygwin installation, because after installing you should get two shortcut icons called Cygwin Bash Shell (one in the Start Menu - Cygwin, one on the Desktop). After clicking on them a window appears with a "C"-like icon, a tilde (~) in the title, and a prompt with "[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ - linebreak - $". For invoking lilypond, refer to section 2 of the tutorial (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Running-Li lyPond.html) Bert ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: I need support :)
In MS Windows, default the abc.ly file evoke the Cygwin bash; unfortunately it dosen't work that way, at least it's lilypond abc.ly . I would rather it open in an editor - I prefer UltraEdit. Modiry Windows Explorer / Tool / Option / File type, make the .LY (add one if there is no .LY ) associate with an editor, or whatever program or procedure you want. ~ just my personal experience Good LuUck :) neuro [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://neuro.ohbi.net ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
